Sustainability is under the spotlight at Paperworld Middle East and Gifts and Lifestyle Middle East which will take place from 21-23 November at Dubai World Trade Centre. Featuring a variety of eco-conscious products, the event will promote the importance of sustainability and aims to inspire positive change through impactful industry discussions and sustainability initiatives.
Underscoring the event’s long-term commitment to sustainability, Project Sustainability will return to Paperworld Middle East and Gifts and Lifestyle Middle East for the third year. Presenting stand-out eco-friendly products from both co-located events, Project Sustainability challenges the notion that paper and stationery products can’t be green.
“The goal of Project Sustainability is not only to celebrate eco-friendly products but also to encourage exhibitors and attendees from around the world to adopt sustainable practices,” said Syed Ali Akbar, Show Director for Paperworld Middle East and Gifts and Lifestyle Middle East.
“As the largest international show for paper, stationery, arts and crafts and school products, we believe it is our responsibility to lead the sustainability discussion across these industries – whether it is adopting environmentally-friendly production methods or using sustainable materials in products. The events offer a wide range of sustainable items - from recycled stationery to energy-efficient office supplies - helping attendees to explore various eco-conscious options that align with their values and sustainability goals.”
The sustainability conversation will be echoed at The Hub Forum, where industry experts and thought leaders will discuss the E-commerce, digital, and sustainable trends shaping the industry's future. Sessions will include ‘Green Initiatives in the Paper and Stationery Industry’ and ‘The Importance of Sustainability in Back-to-School’ which will address the need to inspire sustainable practices among the generations of the future.
