Circular Polyolefins Outlook
online | 27th of January 2021Polyolefins dominate global plastics production because of their versatility. With the increased attention on plastic waste from the public, the polyolefins industry is facing many changes, not only from the regulation front, building better waste management practices and infrastructure but also in product design to meet sustainability & circularity demand. The entire value chain needs to adapt to this new normal in working towards a more sustainable, circular future.
Global consumer trends are driving brand owners and the packaging industry to shift towards a more circular model. Recently, LyondellBasell announced one of the most ambitious goals of the industry to produce and market two million metric tons of recycled and renewable-based polymers annually by 2030.
CMT’s Webinar on Circular Polyolefins Outlook brings together players in the Polyolefins value chain to share insights on the development and trends moving forward.
