The second edition of the Plastics Recycling Show Middle East & Africa in Dubai has built on the success of last year’s first edition to firmly establish the event as the region’s stand-out event for all those engaged in the circular and sustainable use of plastics. The recent three-day exhibition and conference attracted 124 exhibitors, over 50 eminent speakers and more than 3,700 attendees.
The exhibition was inaugurated by His Excellency Butti Saeed Al Ghandi, Vice-Chairman of the Dubai World Trade Centre; Mr Kinana Jamaluddin, Representative of Sultan Al Bohra, Syedna Muffadal Saifuddin; Mr Taher Patrawala, Managing Director, Media Fusion; Mr Matthew Barber, Director, Global Trade Shows & Sales Director, Crain Global Polymer Group; Mr Sunu Nair, General Manager, Media Fusion; and other dignitaries.
“PRS Middle East & Africa has really come of age this year, attracting representatives from every part of the region involved in the circular and sustainable use of plastics,” says Matt Barber, Global Events Director at Crain Communications. “The next event in the fast-expanding global PRS event portfolio will be PRS Asia in Singapore from 13-14 November and we look forward to repeating this success there and then again in Mumbai in December.”
Vivek Begwani, Commercial Manager at Gemini Corporation of Belgium said: “In 2024, I must say that there has been more footfall than before. We are able to meet more and more suppliers and stakeholders at one place, which is great. It is interesting to see what innovations are going on in the industry. Next year, we are even planning to have a booth of our own.”
“This year we could see a wide range of suppliers from different parts of the world. Events like these help us meet all our suppliers at one place. We don’t have to travel to different places,” added Govind Anil, Chief Accounting Officer of Saraha Technologies in Dubai.
