Welcome Message to IRC 2025

Dr.Krisda Suchiva Chairman of the Organising Committee IRC 2025

The International Rubber Conference 2025 (IRC2025) will be held in Bangkok, Thailand during 1-3 December 2025 . This is the very first time that the IRC will be organised in Thailand, the number one supplier of natural rubber to the world’s rubber products manufacturing industry, although we had previously organised the RubberCon before in 2013. We are honoured to be given an opportunity to host this event on behalf of the rubber societies throughout the world which are members of the IRCO. We will do our best to make the IRC 2025 a successful and memorable event as well as being beneficial to all the participants.

As we are well aware, the IRC is one of the leading and most widely known international rubber conference which has been organised since 1966. The Conference provides a forum for sharing new developments in the science, technology and engineering of rubbers and rubber products, including the issues of health, safety and environment in connection with the modern rubber industry ; the objectives are to encourage and promote international progress, co-operation as well as involvement of the younger generation for sustainability of the rubber industry.

The theme of IRC 2025 is “Rubber Revolution: Balancing Nature and Innovation for a Sustainable Future”. A rather emphatic theme reflects our belief that there is an increasing urgency for all of us to work harder and more effectively to achieve sustainability of our future, we in the rubber industry included. Therefore, the IRC 2025 will focus on the innovation of increasing uses of natural raw materials (particularly natural rubber which has unique attributes to help accelerate achievement of net zero emissions goal for the rubber industry), technologies supporting the circular economy of the rubber industry, design and manufacturing technologies for sustainable rubber products with also longer life, raising safety and lowering of negative impact on the environment of the rubber products and unexplored applications of rubbers and rubber composites.

On behalf of the Organising Committee of the IRC 2025, I would like to extend our invitation to all of you who are actively working in the rubber academia and the rubber industry to participate in the IRC 2025, to obtain the benefits of learning and exchanging new knowledge and technology relating to the development of sustainable rubber industry. The Conference will also provide you with a rare opportunity to meet and discuss with outstanding researchers who have long experiences in rubber research, which may lead to future collaboration among those who attend. We are looking forward to your participation and support.

A warm welcome to Thailand, the land of smile rich in cultures, historic sites, beautiful scenery and, of course, natural rubber.

About the organizers

The Polymer Society of Thailand (PST)

The Polymer Society of Thailand (PST) was established in 1999 with the following objectives : 1. To promote the development of polymer science, technology and engineering in Thailand 2. To represent the Thai polymer community internationally 3. To coordinate the polymer activities in Thailand. The major activities of the PST are organisation of lectures and seminars for its members, organisation of international conferences and dissemination of information. PST also constantly seeks cooperation with international polymer societies and academic institutes in order to bring benefit to the Thai polymer community.

The PST represents Thailand as a member of the International Rubber Conference Organisation (IRCO) since 2009 and has been constantly involved with the IRCO Conferences.

In 2013, the PST organised the RubberCon in Thailand under the theme “Advances in Natural Rubber Science and Technology”.

International Rubber Conference Organisation (IRCO)

The International Rubber Conference Organisation (IRCO) is an association of rubber societies from around the world which plan the organisation of the annual International Rubber Conference (IRC) and also the RubberCon which is a smaller but more specialised conference. By careful selection of conference proposals from IRCO member organisation and monitoring of events, the IRCO ensures that all conferences run by its member societies meet the very demanding requirements dictated by the IRCO and thus have been providing delegates with first-class conferences since 1966 for the IRC and 2011 for the RubberCon.
