A Gateway to Japan's Advanced Materials Market
A delegation from GON attended the 16th Highly-functional Material Week, held September 30 - October 2, 2026 at Makuhari Messe, Chiba, Japan. Organized by RX Japan, this is Japan's largest B2B advanced materials trade fair for polymer raw materials and plastic compounds, gathering leading suppliers of high-performance resins, functional films, modified plastics, composite materials, fine ceramics, advanced metals and sustainable circular materials, alongside professional buyers from semiconductor, electronics, automotive, food packaging and medical plastic industries.
Focus on High-Performance Polymer & Sustainable Plastic Raw Materials
During the show, our team benchmarked the latest industry trends for engineering plastics, modified plastic pellets, plastic additives and plastic recycling technologies. Our team connected with industry peers and potential buyers to introduce our polymer raw material portfolio covering GPPS and HIPS, PP, PEEK, and recycled PP, and discussed customized modified plastic compound solutions tailored for Japanese and Asian injection molding, extrusion and downstream plastic manufacturing applications.

Market Insights: Sustainability Drives Polymer Raw Material Innovation
The 2026 Highly-functional Material Week Tokyo highlighted a strong industry shift toward low-carbon and circular polymer materials. Market demand for food-grade resin, electronic-grade plastic pellets, high-flow modified polypropylene compounds and post-consumer recycled PCR polymers keeps rising across Asia-Pacific, reinforcing GON's commitment to supplying high-quality virgin plastic resin and recycled polymer grades with consistent, traceable quality for plastic converters and material importers.
Strengthening Global Polymer Supply Partnerships
Visiting Highly-functional Material Week Tokyo forms a key part of GON's global market expansion strategy for plastic raw materials. We look forward to building long-term supply partnerships with Japanese and Asian plastic material distributors, injection molders, converters and brand owners, providing reliable bulk resin supply, stable pellet quality and responsive technical service.
