“Capturing higher margins & adding value in PET packaging during a challenging period.”

Consumer demand for easy packaging, innovative bottles and greener solutions are driving new advancements globally in PET bottling and packaging.

Fast emerging thermoform sheet business and recycling sector also holds much opportunities for the PET value chain. However, PET resin prices continue to dive; failing to keep pace with consumption.

Weak oil price and falling feedstock prices are some of the factors dampening the supply side of the PET business. New investments and capacities by Reliance and OMPET will also shift the dynamics of PET trade in the region and globally. 

In a surplus market, where are the pockets of growth and bright spots? Will promising African markets mitigate the access capacity within the region?  Does low price equals to more conversion to PET based packaging?

• Reliance unveil their new capacity which will consolidate RIL’s position as a leading PET resin producer with global capacity of 1.15 MMTPA
• Ivory Coast & West Africa’s raw material challenges, demand and opportunities
• Kuwait embarks on a novel approach to recycling with Omniya: 1st PET recycling project in the country
• Thermoform sheet markets in GCC for food, medical and industrial applications. 

As well as other key highlights:

• Inter-regional trade; will protection measures continue to increase?
• Trends in market and pricing globally and in the region
• Assessing global MEG outlook in low crude oil regime
• Milk and dairy consumption trends in the region and innovations in aseptic filling
• Impact of small sized packaging, bottle shape innovations, etc. for the GCC markets
