Editorial

This edited volume contains the selected papers presented at the International Symposium on Plastics Technology held in Aachen/Germany in March 2020. Lateral thinkers from all over the world have been invited to present their view on the future of plastics technology in an era of major societal and technological changes. On the one hand the growing expectations regarding sustainability and recyclability while keeping efficiency and functionality challenge researchers and industry. On the other hand, digitization and additive manufacturing are powerful drivers for even disruptive changes in processing and production, which offer huge opportunities in plastics technology and stimulate growing interest in both, plastics technology research and industry. The papers presented on the symposium offer a multi-perspective view on these opportunities. They provide scientific insights and knowledge, but as well intent to create awareness and to st
