Mexico is one of the fastest growing PET markets! With new resin capacities and expansions being announced in North America and the Far East, how will price and supply/demand dynamics shift in the Latin America market? How will feedstock availability and the emergence of bio-feedstock change the PET supply-chain? What new trends in packaging and bottling are influencing the Mexican PET market segments?

Returning for the 10th consecutive year, LAPET is the premier event in Mexico for the PET supply chain to come together and be informed on the latest market analysis, commercial outlook and technology developments sweeping the PET sector.

Key Sessions:

• Global PET trade, prospects & challenges
• Polyester intermediates market outlook
• Chinese resin markets outlook & impact on Latin America
• Recycling developments in key markets - Mexico, Brazil & Argentina
• Global growth and trends in PET films and films recycling
• Packaging and design requirements: Perspectives from Brand Owners'

PLUS Separately Bookable Workshop on PET Recycling with focus on:

• Post-consumer PET collection
• Economics and feasibility of recycling
• Quality concerns of PCR PET
• Comparative assessment of recycling technologies

Recycling is taking a higher prominence in Mexico and Latin American markets as interest to use rPET to produce high-quality end products from bottles to sheets to polyester staples has become a growing trend. Increasing efficiency of post-consumer PET bottles collection rates and greater global sustainability awareness among brand owners for both food and non-food contact applications is driving the momentum of using more and more recycled contents in manufacturing PET containers. However, the challenges of stepping up rPET usage are still a real concern as availability and quality of bale feedstock being the two major obstacles hampering the growth of the recycling markets.

10th LAPET will include an in-depth discussion on issues related to PET recycling and review the principles of sorting, washing and decontamination technologies. It will also cover key design decisions that impact the recyclability of PET bottles back into high quality rPET resins. International and local rPET converters will also share the latest developments and outlook for the recycling sector.
