Recovery in consumer demand growth is matched by investments in new capacity in PET and PTA. The resin majors have announced new projects and expansion…against recent background of M&As and consolidation…What impact will it have on the global and Mexican/Latin American PET prices? Simultaneously many companies are looking to increase their R-PET percentages. Coca Cola is targeting 25 percent R-PET content [April ICIS]. As recycling interest intensifies and becomes a norm… R-PET supply is becoming short. Will its prices escalate beyond virgin PET? Will it still be viable to trade in R-PET?

 

What are the latest Mexican government’s initiatives for R-PET.? Find out these concerns and many others at CMT’s 9th LAPET conference.

 

Lightweight bottle is highly sort after by brand owners. What are the new technology and trends in this? Will an increased movement towards this trend reduce demand for virgin resin and also reduce availability of R-PET?  The conference will answer these questions.

 

Growing numbers of leading beverage brands like Coke & Pepsi have announced adoption of plant or biobased bottles. How much of a challenge will these new plant bottles pose to PET bottle whether 25 percent or 100 percent.  Many questions are outstanding: from the processes and how cost competitive these bio feedstock are?  LAPET 2011 addresses these matters.

 

Demand for virgin PET is rising in the emerging markets of Central America, from Cuba to Costa Rica to El Salvador to Guatamela. Senior executives of companies in the Central American region will share their market needs and plans for the coming years.
