Experts in the petrochemicals industry say that the UAE produces 2.4 million tons of polymers, commanding a share of 10 percent of the total GCC production of 23.9 million tons.
This was revealed while launching ArabPlast 2015, the region’s largest trade show for plastics, rubber and petrochemicals, that has confirmed participation of 1100 exhibitors from 45 countries, two months ahead of the biennial event that will span nine halls in Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre (DICEC), from January 10 to 13, 2015.
