Paperworld Middle East, the region's leading trade show for paper and stationery products, taking place from 13th to 15th October 2026 at Dubai World Trade Centre, has announced a strategic partnership with the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). The collaboration reinforces the event’s commitment to responsible sourcing while supporting the long-term development and transformation of the paper and stationery industry across the Middle East.
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. Beyond visibility, FSC's approach supports a broader shift in business practices by enabling organisations to integrate responsible sourcing into their operational culture and decision-making processes.
Paperworld Middle East will bring together the most influential 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.
