PET Resin Xchange

 

Accessing the World's Largest Producer of 'Bottle Grade' Resins

 

Asia and China in particular has long been the cardinal and global supplier of the PET industry.  With larger capacities coming on-stream and the resurgence in demand after the recent economic downturn, China has become a magnet for buyers and traders from Europe to the Americas to source for raw materials and seek cost competitiveness.

  • How is China driving and leading the global PET trade?
  • How are the feedstock and intermediates markets influencing the supply/demand dynamics?
  • How does sustainability impact packaging trends & the PET business?

CMT’s PETresin Xchange provides you the answers to these concerns and more! It’s the platform for international buyers and suppliers to gain first hand information and forge business opportunities, all in one location.

Spread over 3 days, the conference also includes pre and post plant visits to one of China’s newest PET resin production facility and the only PET beer bottling facility.

  • Meet local resin producers – China Resources Packaging Material, Zhejiang Wankai New Materials, Far Eastern Group and many more.
  • Listen to a panel of convertors from Zhuhai Zhongfu, Zijiang Enterprise, GSI, etc. debating on managing and optimizing the purchasing process
  • Assess China’s competitive position and challenges as global supplier
  • Update on intermediates market prospects – PX,PTA and MEG
