The virtual conference discussed the significant progress in plastic and polymers trade
DP World, UAE Region and Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA) collaborated with the All India Plastics Manufacturers’ Association (AIPMA) for the recent ‘Enabling India’s Plastic Sector to Go Global’ webinar.
Held virtually, the conference explored the developments in the international trade of plastics and exchanged ideas on tackling the major roadblocks.
Leading plastics producers, manufacturers and convertors from around the globe shared knowledge about the best practices and latest technologies used in the industry and emphasised on the India-UAE connection in the sector.
DP World’s flagships, Jebel Ali Port and JAFZA create the ideal hub for the Indian plastic sector. Its proximity to raw materials, industrial land for manufacturing, port-centric logistics ecosystem for polymers conversion, connectivity to markets in the Middle East, and services to support polymers plastic value chain, storage & warehousing capabilities, end-to-end logistics and supply chain solutions, and digitally-enabled one-stop-shop makes it the most preferred choice in the region.
“During April 2019-January 2020, India’s plastic export stood at US$ 7.045bn. India has immense potential and our association with AIPMA enabled us to facilitate communication with our partners in the country,” noted Mohammed Al Muallem, CEO & Managing Director, DP World, UAE Region and CEO, JAFZA.
“Leveraging DP World’s vast portfolio of ports, inland logistics and industrial zones in both UAE & India and globally, this endeavour will help the plastic sector access new opportunities and markets, and provide seamless supply chain solutions,” observed Chandrakant Turakhia, President, AIPMA.
