The Saudi Plastics and Petrochem Summit will be held concurrently with the 17th edition Saudi Plastics and Petrochemicals Expo and the 18th edition of Saudi Print and Pack Expo at the Riyadh International Convention & Exhibition Center (RICEC), Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Petrochemicals derived from oil and gas feedstocks form the building blocks for products that range from plastic bottles, beauty products, fertilizers and explosives. Demand for plastics is the key driver of the petrochemical industry, superseding traditional sectors such as transportation, logistics, aviation and shipping.

Petrochemicals are particularly important given how prevalent they are in everyday products. They are required to manufacture many parts of the modern energy system, including solar panels, wind turbines, batteries, thermal insulation and electric vehicles.
