Global Sustainability Regulations Are Redefining MENA's Plastics Industry, Coherent Market Insights Reports at PLASTEX 2026
CMI outlines how circular economy investments, recycling capacity, and policy reforms will determine the region's competitiveness in global markets
Cairo, January 2026 — For plastics manufacturers across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), sustainability has evolved from a corporate responsibility initiative into a business imperative. As export markets introduce stricter packaging standards, recycled content requirements, and carbon regulations, companies are increasingly recognising that competitiveness will depend not only on production capacity but also on their ability to integrate circular economy principles into their operations.
At PLASTEX 2026 – Egypt's Strategic Conference, held from January 9–12 in Cairo, Coherent Market Insights (CMI) participated as the Official Knowledge Partner, presenting its latest research on the MENA Sustainable Plastics Market. The company's insights explored how market demand, government policy, recycling infrastructure, and international trade requirements are collectively reshaping the region's plastics value chain.
As part of the conference, Raj Shah, CEO & Founder of Coherent Market Insights, moderated the Day 2 panel discussion, "Accelerating Demand and Adoption of Recycled Plastics," where industry experts discussed practical approaches to scaling recycled plastics production while improving supply chain resilience.
"Across MENA, the willingness to adopt sustainable plastics is steadily increasing," Shah said. "The next stage of market development will depend on how effectively the industry can strengthen recycling infrastructure and secure a consistent supply of high-quality recycled feedstock. Sustainability commitments alone will not deliver a circular economy unless they are supported by commercially scalable systems."
