Plast Nepal 2014 to be held soon

KATHMANDU:

Organisers of Plast Nepal 2014 have announced preparations are underway for the first edition of an exclusive exhibition of plastic in the country.

The three-day event is being held from November 14 to 16 at Bhrikutimandap Exhibition Hall with an aim to demonstrate the potential of industrial growth in the plastic sector such as packaging, construction, health, automobiles, household and footwear, among others, while at the same time to create awareness on recyclability of used plastics.

According to the organiser, Plast Nepal Foundation, “Plastic balances modern day needs with environmental concerns as their usage have low environmental impact from start to finish. With good recyclability options plastics are also the most cost effective material available for wide range of functions.”

The organisers claim the mega expo will deliver the opportunities to a wider mass of interest groups, business seekers and general consumers by developing the mindset for implementing value chain starting from manufacturing of plastic products to proper use and recycling.

Plast Nepal Foundation is making a pavilion of 4000 sq ft, where the exhibitors will demonstrate the history of plastic, how it makes human life easier, how it consumes energy, its benefits and uses, and how it can be reused and recycled by contributing to clean and green Nepal that will help create a sustainable future.
