Algeria is the second largest importer of plastics in primary forms in Africa & the Middle East (EUROMAP) and the largest investor in plastics and packaging technology in the Maghreb and one of the largest in Africa (VDMA).

These technology imports enable Algeria to develop and diversify its own production, increase exports and substitute imports of consumables.

It is against this background, that the 8th edition of plast & printpack alger in 2024 plays an important role in raising awareness of environmentally friendly materials and packaging among the Algerian public and making the public increasingly familiar with green solutions and circular economy.

Organised by fairtrade Messe and Messe Duesseldorf, plast & printpack alger will be held at the Palais des Expositions d'Alger - SAFEX from 04 to 06 March 2024.

The event is to continue its growth story, both in quality and quantity, and international market leaders will be there again in 2024, as well as official country pavilions from Austria, China, Egypt, France, Germany, India, Italy, Spain, Tunisia and Türkiye.

The demand for recycling facilities in Algeria is growing, offering interesting business opportunities to international suppliers.

The 8th edition of printpack & plast alger will now shine a spotlight on Recycling Solutions featuring

the concentration of important recycling technology exhibitors in a dedicated area of the show,
a high-quality conference program on this topic,
the visit of buyers from all major recycling companies.
