The British Plastics Federation (BPF) is involved in the ‘British Pavilion’ at Plastics and Rubber Indonesia, to be held in Jakarta 18-21 November.

UK companies will have the chance to reach out to Indonesia’s plastics market.

With a population of 250 million and an annual rate of growth for plastic consumption of over 6%, the Indonesian market offers huge opportunities for both UK equipment manufacturers and skills and process developers.

Domestic supply contributes 3.6 million tonnes of plastics a year towards the total demand of 4.3 million tonnes, with the rest of the material imported.

British exhibitors have been able to take advantage of UKT&I grants of £2,500, covering the cost of a 9sqm stand, providing a cost effective way for interested companies to reach this exciting market.
