Episode 27: Inspiring the Next Generation

“We need to be more visible,” agree the guests on Episode 27 of “Wir sind Spritzguss.” The discussion centers on how we can inspire and attract more young people to the plastics industry. Selina Maget, Matthias Joos, and Mert Korkmaz—all three are talented youngsters in our industry who are actively involved with the VDMA’s Young Talents program and Career Friday at Fakuma. There they are sharing their experiences with school and college students, apprentices, and other career starters. They know that a world without plastics is unthinkable. One reason for this is that only plastics make it possible to tailor properties precisely to the intended application while allowing the material to be processed easily and energy-efficiently.
