About Proplas Africa
The plastics industry is a high-tech multi-million dollar global industry that sees constant change through innovation and invention as production techniques and materials become more and more advanced.
However, sustainability also plays a vital role and not only does the plastics industry make a significant contribution to our economy, it also expresses an innovative and responsible attitude towards positively contributing towards the environment with a ‘greening’ development that has seen recycling increase to approximately 150,000 tons per year and has spawned a number of new, highly profitable business opportunities.
Whilst plastics play a part in virtually every sector of the economy, for example, providing vast quantities of materials for industries such as IT, automotive, stationery, furniture and medical, amongst others, packaging dominates the local plastics industry.
October 2009 will see the Pro-Plas Africa Expo staged in Johannesburg - the “business heart” of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) – providing an ideal platform for local and international exhibitors to network, exchange ideas, and display the latest products, information and technological development trends.
There is great synergy between Pro-Plas Africa Expo 2009 and Propak Africa 2009, as a high percentage of plastic produced is for the packaging industry. Also co-locating with Print Expo 2009
