knowledge exchange.
Dubai, UAE: Paperworld Middle East, the region’s leading trade show
for paper and stationery products, taking place from 13\u201315 October
2026 at Dubai World Trade Centre, has announced a strategic
partnership with the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). The
collaboration reinforces the event\u2019s commitment to responsible sourcing
while supporting the long-term development and transformation of the
paper and stationery industry across the Middle East.
Recognised leader in sustainable forestry, FSC promotes
environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial and economically viable
forest management through its globally recognised certification system.
The new partnership with Paperworld Middle East will bring this
expertise to the region’s leading international trade platform for paper
and stationery products, creating new opportunities for knowledge
exchange, collaboration and responsible procurement.
The collaboration reflects growing demand from businesses and public-
sector organisations for internationally recognised sustainability
standards as they seek to strengthen procurement frameworks, improve
supply chain transparency and meet evolving environmental objectives<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beyond visibility, FSC\u2019s approach supports a broader shift in business
practices by enabling organisations to integrate responsible sourcing
into their operational culture and decision-making processes.
The partnership marks an important milestone for the 15th edition of
Paperworld Middle East, where sustainability will be embedded
throughout the exhibition through knowledge sharing, industry
collaboration, and increased exposure for FSC-certified exhibitors and
responsibly sourced products. It also signals a forward-looking
commitment to shaping more resilient, transparent, and responsible
value chains across the sector.
Mark Palmer, Show Director, Paperworld Middle East, said: \u201cAcross
every conversation we’re having with exhibitors and buyers,
sustainability is moving from aspiration to expectation. Businesses want
greater transparency throughout the supply chain and increasing
confidence that the products they source meet internationally recognised
standards.
\u201cPartnering with FSC allows Paperworld Middle East to reflect that shift,
bringing together the organisations, expertise and certified solutions that
will help businesses source with greater confidence while accelerating
the adoption of responsible forestry practices across the region.\u201d
Throughout the 2026 edition, FSC-certified exhibitors and products,
including IPM, Main Paper and The Navigator Company, will be
showcased, enabling visitors to discover and access responsibly
sourced solutions from around the world.
Helen Chepkemoi Too, Senior Director, Markets, FSC, said:
“FSC is pleased to partner with Paperworld Middle East to further
strengthen awareness and uptake of responsibly sourced materials
within the paper, stationery, gifting, and promotional products sectors
across the Middle East. Through collaborations like this, we aim to
support businesses and consumers in making choices that contribute to
responsible forest management and credible sourcing practices
worldwide while helping to drive meaningful, long-term change in
sourcing behaviours and industry standards.”
Paperworld Middle East will bring together the most influential<\/p>\n\n\n\n
manufacturers, suppliers, and buyers, providing a dedicated
marketplace for sourcing, innovation, and business partnerships. The
exhibition serves as a strategic trade platform, as demand continues to
grow, with the global paper and stationery markets projected to reach
US$294 billion and US$268 billion, respectively, by 2034, according to
Fortune Business Insights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
