Background
A partnership between Paperworld Middle East and the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) has been formed in order to promote sustainable practices and business within the paper and stationery industry in the Middle East.
This partnership will be announced by Paperworld Middle East on its 15th Anniversary that is scheduled to take place in October at the Dubai World Trade Centre. The main objective of this partnership is to encourage sustainable business practices within the industry through knowledge exchange and collaborations.
FSC is renowned for its worldwide system of forest certification, which helps promote responsible forestry by setting standards on environmental, social, and economic levels. Through the partnership, FSC will help businesses improve supply chain transparency and strengthen responsible sourcing practices across the region.
The organisers said sustainability will be integrated throughout the exhibition. FSC-certified exhibitors and responsibly sourced products will receive greater visibility, giving visitors access to certified solutions from international suppliers. Companies including IPM, Main Paper, and The Navigator Company are expected to showcase FSC-certified products during the event.
Paperworld Middle East said the partnership reflects growing demand from businesses and public organisations for transparent supply chains and sustainable procurement. The collaboration is also expected to encourage organisations to include responsible sourcing in their long-term business strategies.
The exhibition will bring together manufacturers, suppliers, and buyers from across the global paper and stationery industry to explore new business opportunities and product innovations.
Fortune Business Insights said the global paper and stationery markets are expected to be worth US$294 billion and US$268 billion, respectively, by 2034, highlighting the long-term growth potential of the sector.
