As the global plastics industry moves toward a low-carbon, circular future, LAPET – Circular Plastics Packaging LATAM returns for its 21st edition, bringing together leaders across the value chain—from resin producers to brand-owners, recyclers, technology providers to regulators in Mexico City this December!

Latin America is seeing accelerating momentum in circular plastics packaging, propelled by stronger regulation, rising brand commitments, and consumer demand. Governments in Brazil, Mexico, Chile, Colombia and several other countries are expanding or introducing policies such as Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), bans on single‑use plastics, and recycled content mandates.

In Mexico, brand‑owners are raising demand for recycled polymers, but supply constraints—especially for food‑grade and post‑consumer resin—are causing pricing volatility, especially for PET and polypropylene.

Rising feedstock scarcity is one of the biggest impediments, exacerbated by underdeveloped waste collection infrastructure and inconsistent regulation across regions.

Advance your knowledge and network at the intersection of policy, innovation, and sustainability at this flagship event — where the future of plastics in LATAM takes shape. Register with your team to enjoy group discount at the  21st LAPET – Circular Plastics Packaging LATAM on 3-4 Dec 2025 in Mexico City!
