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?
