International Plastics News - Middle East & Africa - November 2013

In dieser Angelegenheit

This issue is a special one because it carries Outlook 2014 which gathers the ights of industry experts on the industry trends and developments, and what to expect in 2014. We divided Outlook 2014 into

two sections, one on plastic and the other on rubber. Given that the

Middle East and Africa are two fast-growing regions, the plastics and

rubber industry in these two regions are expected to attract huge

investments that would in turn help establish world-class production

facilities.
K 2013 has exceeded the expectations of exhibitors and visitors alike.

Despite the sluggish growth of Europe, the show was well attended and

saw numerous innovations aimed at improving the production processes

and quality of plastics products being used in various sectors.
With the growing popularity of bioplastics, which was also highlighted

at K 2013, it is inevitable that more countries in the Middle East and

Africa will take the same direction and increasingly use bio-based

materials. The possibilities are endless, and companies providing

materials solutions are expected to come up with high performance

bioplastics that will meet the call for sustainability and profitability.
