A one stop forum to gain first hand insight on the growth and dynamicsof PET packaging markets & Technology in the South& Central Americas including the Caribbean region.

 

Translation in Spanish

 

The rapidly developing countries of South, Central and the Caribbeans are experiencing accelerated demand for PET conversion and packaging with their growing affluent middle class income population and consumerism patterns. The growth in demand is seen across the polyester resin sectors including film and sheet.

 

The hike in demand is matched by PET resin imports from Asia, Middle East and North American suppliers. The conference explores and identifies the new applications for the growing demand as well assesses the various supply sources and new capacity expansion projects.

 

Whilst PET growth is steady in the region, there is a growing number of recycling projects. What are the technological demands for recycling PET at its various stages starting from washing the bottles?

 

South America is now a significant importer of PX & PTA. How will the new Petroquimica Suape plant change the trade dynamics? What are the other feedstock projects? Bio- resin is the buzz word in the industry! What are the new developents in this area?

 

SCAPET – last held in Panama city… comes this year to the lovely Colombian city of Cartegena.

Industry leader Gneuss recently announced its MRS Extruder technology that allows for the processing of PET without pre-drying or crystallizing, making it an economically efficient alternative with reduced footprints compared to other conventional technologies.

 

As the industry moves towards sustainability and reduced impact on the environment, the new Gneuss technology is a vital addition to the industry’s green technologies. Mr. Andres F Grunewald, MD Brazil of Gneuss – America do Sul will elaborate on the “New possibilities for PET Reclaim-Efficient decontamination with the MRS Extruder” as an Associate Sponsor at the regional PET conference, SCAPET 2013, organized by CMT.

 

Global industry leader in machinery and process technology, Starlinger, also joins the event as an Associate Sponsor. A major player in packaging, Starlinger viscotec division will focus more on “Food grade without compromise – 100% consumer safety and highest flexibility in PET sheet production”. Key executives Mr. Christoph Niederhuber and Ms. Lisa Straub will be participating as speakers to explore consumer-based packaging with other regional leaders.

Market research by Smithers Pira, authority on packaging, paper and print industry supply chains, revealed a forecasted growth in global PET packaging consumption. Growing at a rate of 5.2% per annum, PET packaging is likely to hit 19.1 million tonnes in 2017 standing at $57 billion. Regions contributing to the growth include APAC, South & Central America, Central & Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa.

The growth is attributed to:

 

1.      Growing real incomes of the region

2.      Growing trend towards use of PET packaging over traditional pack formats

3.      Growing PET recycling trend due to environmental concerns caused by PET bottles

 

PET recycling is increasingly prominent amongst consumers. Benefits such as fossil fuel conservation, energy usage reduction and decreased greenhouse emissions are influencing legislations and spurring resource protection programs. These environmental factors are also driving global brands to take on PET recycling in their products.

 

However, there are still uncertainties regarding rPET economic viability and the readiness of the region to undertake rPET on a business level.

 

Industry leaders are scheduled to convene at the SCAPET 2013 Summit in Cartagena, Colombia on June 11-12, 2013 to address these concerns as well as explore areas of sustainability, light-weighting and innovations including compression technology for PET preform production.

 

Details on SCAPET 2013 will be revealed soon. Meanwhile, please refer to the SCAPET 2013 Event Page for more information, or contact:
