resource-efficiently in their factories. There must be an economic policy pact for decar- bonisation around the world, and here I am referring in particular to the major emitters such as China, South America, Russia and the USA.
With our ecoMetal trails, we are raising awareness of this for the second time at the Tube. We are offering individual digital trails for the first time. Visitors can use a QR code to choose when they would like to visit the participating exhibitors at their stand. This code will provide them with information about the products and the implementation of sustainable production steps by the par- ticipating exhibitors.
Do plastic tubes 2024 play a special role at Tube 2024?
Yes, and even more so than at Tube 2022: plastic tubes and pipes are now replacing metal tubes in many industries. Their pro- duction is nowhere near as energy-intensive as metal tubes. Plastic pipes are also easier to process. They can be used to solve logisti- cal problems, such as simple and cost-effec- tive transport. The logistics are significantly more CO2-neutral.
This is why we are dedicating a special area to plastic tubes at Tube. In the Special Area Plastic Tubes & Pipes in Hall 1 C 35, visitors can discover the entire value chain of plastic tubes and find out from our exhibitors about all the innovations relating to this flexible material and its possible applications in the tube industry.
In addition to the topic of Industry 4.0, arti- ficial intelligence is gaining increasing atten- tion. Can you also confirm this for our Tube Düsseldorf?
Artificial intelligence has also found its way into our everyday working lives since the introduction of chat GPT at the latest. We are all aware that AI can make working envi- ronments easier but also jeopardise them. Therefore, the legal framework in which AI is used must be clearly defined.
