President of Bangladesh Plastic Goods Manufacturers and Exporters Association Ferdous Wahed made the announcement at a press conference at the association's Paltan office on Saturday.

The main objective of holding the fair is to bring a opportunity for the Bangladesh plastic industry through developing new alternative sources, he said.
