Around 45% of world’s polymer consumption is used in the packaging industry.
At the meeting, the negligence towards country’s packaging industry was noted. However, petroleum is the basis industry and is well developed in the country, and we have huge resources in producing the main packaging material – the polymer. Last year, Iran joined the World Packaging Organization (WPO) and the Asian Packaging Federation (APF).This membership has given rise to more motivation and mobility. We also have good resources in the petrochemical and cellulose industries that we can use from both. The chair and vice president of the Sharif University agreed with this move and demanded the beginning of this issue from Sharif University.
They acknowledged that there are many areas and interests in packaging, but there are very few sources of access to them. Therefore, packaging is often traditional and very simple, and does not have international advances. At the festival on June 10-13, this year, for the first time, the leaders of this global organization joined us alongside our public and private sectors to show us the industry’s key roles.
