Save the date!

 

With Argentina’s new pro-growth government at its helm, the country is receiving much interest : International investors, traders, bankers and technology suppliers are visiting the country optimistic that emerging policies will drive hope and reboot the South American economy. 

 

In early March, the new government negotiated its past debt and now able to secure new financing to stimulate its economy. Yet various sectors of the workforce such as hospital and government office workers, among other public sector employees, are calling for strikes following job cuts to correct fiscal deficit. Although the economy is struggling, Argentina and the region have a steady consumption of PET resin for both packaging and polyester.The economic crisis of the past years boosted CSD refill packaging and sales of family-size packs as well as strong push towards returnable bottles. 

 

The year began with a stunning announcement by beverage giant Coca-Cola to invest a billion dollars in Argentina over the next four years in its bottling and distribution operations. Clearly showing that international brands are keen to enter and expand in this market and region. Last year, Germany’s KHS also introduced its lightweight PET bottles for still water in Brazil – in tune with consumers’ preference for improved packaging of bottled water and CSDs. Sidel opened a new office in Buenos Aires expanding operations in the region and receiving interest from local converters.

 

Argentina’s Zero Waste Law aims to ban landfilling of recyclable and compostable waste by end of the decade. The city of Buenos Aires set up ‘green points’ that accept recyclable materials from neighborhoods without containers. Argentina’s sole PET resin producer – DAK Americas has expanded into PET recycling activities with ECOPEK acquired from CABELMA – becoming the second largest PET recycler in Argentina.

 

CMT’s 3rd SAPET brings leading regional and international speakers to focus on South America’s PET market. How will the South American PET industry perform this year and beyond? What are the recycling developments and trends to produce more sustainable PET packaging? How will consumer trends and disposable income influence the industry? Will the new business driven government in Argentina attract international PET players, bottlers, fillers etc., to expand into its markets?

 

Find out the answers and clarify your concerns and more at CMT’s SAPET Summit.

Industry News

 

The global plastics market was worth US$381.83 billion in 2013, influenced by the application of end-use industries such as injection molding, food & beverage packaging, film/sheet and pipes. Grand View Research Inc. projects of all the plastic types, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is likely to have the biggest demand, and witness significant gains at a CAGR of 8.5% from 2014 to 2020.

 

The increase in demand is being fueled by the packaging industry of carbonated soft drinks bottles, which is using PET plastic in increased quantities. Another application for PET is for the films and sheets used in pharmaceutical and food packaging industries, and accounts for over 40% of the overall share in 2013. Application in plastic pipes is also projected to increase, at an anticipated CAGR of 5.7% from 2014 to 2020. Contributing factors include an increase rising population levels, increasing rate of urbanisation, infrastructural development and replacement of old pipes made with outdated materials.

 

Asia Pacific contributed to over 40% of the global plastics market in 2013. While emerging economies India and China are witnessing a significant increase in key end-use industries, Grand View Research Inc. projects that the Central and South American plastics market is expected to exhibit the highest growth rate, an anticipated CAGR of 6.3% from 2014 to 2020. The increase in construction and automobiles industry in Argentina and Brazil is likely to be the driving factor for plastics demand in this region.

 

The 3rd SAPET (South America PET Markets, Applications & Recycling), in Buenos Aires from 14-15 June 2016 will examine the region’s role in this rapidly growing market.

Water bottler Água Mineral Santa Joana has started to use new lightweight PET bottles manufactured by Germany’s KHS.

 

The new KHS 0.5-liter PET bottles weighs only 8.9 grams and 1.5-liter PET containers at 22 grams compared to the usual 13 grams (0.5-liter) and 26 grams (a 1.5-liter).

 

The new bottles not only saves material costs but also leads to energy savings. Água Mineral Santa Joana that produces up to 27,000 of 0.5-liter and up to 26,400 of 1.5-liter PET bottles per hour can significantly benefit from this transition.

 

Since material use account for 70% of the manufacturing costs for beverage producers, the use of lightweight PET can significantly reduce production costs.

 

For instance, if a manufacturer reduces four grams in the packaging weight when producing 300 million 1.5-liter PET bottles annually, it can save as much as €1.8 million - €450,000 per year for each gram saved.

 

The lightweight PET bottles are already available in Brazil.

 

3rd SAPET (South America PET Markets, Applications & Recycling), in Buenos Aires will discuss more about lightweight PET bottles.
