The Compounding World Expo and Plastics Recycling World Expo are set to debut in India next year. Already established in Europe and America, the exhibitions will take place at the NESCO exhibition centre in Mumbai on 14-15 May 2025. AMI, the UK-based organiser of the

The collaboration aims to bring together the expertise and resources of both companies to deliver an excep- tional experience for exhibitors and visitors alike. The partners said the launch comes as the plastics com- pounding and recycling markets in India are seeing rapid growth. “We are thrilled to bring the
Compounding World Expo and Plastics Recycling World Expo to India,” said Andy Beevers, Events Director at AMI. “This launch is a direct response to the industry’s requests, and we are confi- dent that the events will provide a valuable platform for knowledge exchange, business opportunities, and

collaboration within the plastics compounding and recycling sectors.” Sajjid Mitha, CEO and Founder of
Polymerupdate, said: “The Indian economy is expected to grow at an impressive 7% in the coming years, riding on the strength of a series of recent and planned structural reforms. We are currently the fifth largest economy in the world and the country is striving hard to climb to the number three spot. “Amongst the many well placed industry sectors within the Indian economy, plastics is seen as a bright spark and we at Polymerupdate see huge opportunities within the com-
pounding and recycling sectors in particular. This is the perfect time for us to partner with AMI to bring their well-respected expos focused specifi- cally on these markets to India, for the first time.” The Compounding World Expo and
Plastics Recycling World Expo and their associated conferences will take place in Hall 4 at the NESCO centre. The tried and tested venue offers large and flexible spaces in a convenient loca- tion. One of India’s leading B2B event management companies, Falcon Exhibitions, is providing operations support to ensure smooth running of the new show.
