The exhibition, created within SIBUR's "Formula for Good Deeds" social investment programme, was visited by approximately 3,000 people. "The Age of Plastic" served as a continuation and development of the "Fantastic Plastic" project, which was successfully shown in the city in 2023. Visitors to the exhibition were able to trace the evolution of plastic as a key design material through three thematic sections. The first section covered the emergence of the first plastics in the 1930s and their significance: these materials replaced scarce ivory, tortoiseshell, and wood, gradually ushering in an era of mass, affordable production of everyday items. The second section revealed plastic's triumph in the 1950s-70s, giving designers freedom of form previously unattainable in metal or wood and democratising furniture and appliances for millions of consumers. The third section highlighted how plastic is gaining a "second life", addressing contemporary global challenges. Among the more than 150 exhibits were stars of international and Russian design, including Eburet, Recycle Object, Brevno, the Artemy Lebedev Studio, and many others. "We created this exhibition to clearly demonstrate the potential of plastic, this unique material—its reusability, the diversity of its applications, and its creative possibilities. The project's programme is designed for dialogue with audiences of all ages. Anyone could visit 'The Age of Plastic' for free and spend their time productively," commented Elena Snezhko, Head of SIBUR's "Formula for Good Deeds" social investment programme. Weekly excursions were held as part of the project, organised specifically for schoolchildren and students, as well as open to all interested. Residents of Nizhnekamsk were also able to participate in three master classes dedicated to recycling and the principles of upcycling. "The 'The Age of Plastic' exhibition in Nizhnekamsk was a bright event for a city with a strong petrochemical tradition: around 3,000 visitors, from schoolchildren to professionals, discovered the history of plastic in the field of design. We are grateful to our general sponsor, SIBUR, and the co-organisers of the project, the 'BAZA' Centre for Creative Industries, for their support, and to the guests for their keen interest in the project. We look forward to Tobolsk and Tomsk next!" — Alexandra Sankova, Director General of the Moscow Design Museum.
