plastprintpack West Africa Returns to Abidjan in October

After the grand success of the inaugural edition in Abidjan in 2018 followed by a long wait due to the pandemic, organizers fairtrade along with their local Ivorian partner 2A Consulting are now coming back to Côte d’Ivoire and Francophone West Africa with plastprintpack West Africa.

The second edition of plastprintpack West Africa will take place in conjunction with agrofood West Africa and Afrik’Embal at the brand new Parc de Expositions, Abidjan, from 8-10 October, 2024.

By August 2024, exhibitors from 13 countries including Algeria, Egypt, France, Germany, India, Iran, Italy, Nigeria, South Africa, Taiwan, Turkey, and the UAE, besides the host nation, had already confirmed their participation. Nouvelle Mici Embaci, a leader in cardboard packaging, industrial printing, cardboard boxes, and polypropylene bags is the lead sponsor of the dual events.

This year’s core themes – circular economy and recycling, food safety, and reduction of food waste – will be complemented by panel discussions and lectures on the topics by industry experts.

“As a major player in the packaging sector in Côte d’Ivoire, Nouvelle Mici Embaci is committed to supporting and promoting initiatives that foster sustainable development and industrial excellence. Our partnership with plastprintpack, agrofood West Africa, and Afrik’Embal 2024 demonstrates our desire to make an active contribution to the future of packaging in our country,” says Mustapha Ezzeddine, Managing Director, Nouvelle Mici Embaci.

agrofood West Africa, also in its second edition, is an international trade show for the agriculture, food processing and packaging, ingredients, food, and hospitality sectors.

Afrik’Embal, the packaging and handling exhibition, is organized by fairtrade in partnership with the Association of Packaging Professionals of Côte d’Ivoire (APECI).
