         ‘Plastic economy’- The way forward through Plastics




             he 11  edition of the Plastivision 2020 at the NSE grounds, Goregaon  Mumbai  began
                  th
          Twith a glorious opening with the dignitaries and  officials from the ministry making their
          presence felt. This edition of the PlastivisionIndia 2020 is held from 16-20 January, 2020.
          With over 15000 exhibitors across twenty five countries participating, the five day trade
          show is expected to have over 2,50,000, visitors with over immense business opportunities.

          As we know PVI aims to provide end to end solution to its exhibitors, visitors, and industry

          invest in this sunrise industry which is growing at a phenomenal rate. Prime objective is
          offering service to AIPMA members and plastic industry in its 11  edition
                                                                   th
          The PVI has seen a gradual growth from 7000 visitors back then in1992, and one could feel the
          heat at the inaugural ceremony held at The Grande, NSE Grounds filled with young generation   JAGAT KILLAWALA
          entrepreneurs to the stalwarts of the industry. It’s amazing and lightening as well. This is an
          important milestone for the industry. Not only the Plastics Industry it’s also great to see that
          several other industries including chemical and petrochemicals have shown great interest in
          participating at the exhibition. I would like to thank the Government of India for approving
          financial support for MSME’s to participate in the event. This is the first time that over 175
          MSME have received the financial support from the Government of India.
          Visitors will be the biggest beneficiaries of this mega event by way of technical, mechanical,
          and digital use in machinery and system witnessing all latest developments in industry under
          one roof, source new distributors, agents, manufacturers, direct interaction with top decision
          makers, and stay tune with new trends to interact at the Dana Bazaar.
          There are many sectors like Bio-degradable plastics, Recycling and Energy saving technologies
          is for sure along with 3D, Composite, Plastic in Printing & Packaging, Auto & Recycling sector
          and Robotics. Also much advancement has been made in Polymer and Plastic Compounds and
          its applications are widespread.
          I feel that the industry needs to focus more on recycling methods and recycling. Further more,
          I would like to make it clear that the Plastics industry’s contribution towards the growth
          of economy is significant and like it or not if one has to fulfill the  Prime Minister dream of
          achieving  5 trillion USD  it cannot be achieved without plastics.
          Long live Plastics and I wish everyone in the industry a successful year ahead.
