The Global PET Outlook: Geopolitical Risks and Structural Shifts

OPIS TALKS CHEMICALS:

Geopolitical instability and structural changes are driving greater volatility in the global PET market, while limited new virgin capacity and the contraction of legacy operations in North America are increasing supply chain risk. In this episode, Roberto Ribeiro, Vice President, Ethylene Oxide and Derivatives & PET, breaks down what these changes mean for regional buyers and global PET trade flows.

Learn how trade barriers and anti-dumping duties are forcing exporters to reroute supply, why companies are reassessing procurement and de-risking strategies, and how recycled materials are becoming increasingly important. You’ll also find out how emerging regulations could affect global competitiveness and what producers and buyers should expect as supply risks persist.

Don't miss the opportunity to continue the conversation in person. Roberto Ribeiro will be presenting at the Global Plastic Summit in Houston, November 2–4. Register at chemicalmarketanalytics.com/gps and use promo code TPOD15 for an additional 15% discount.
