Wood Mackenzie Event Health & Safety Guidelines/Policies*

Wood Mackenzie is committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for all event participants. Our decisions and preventive measures will be guided by the requirements and recommendations of the Health and Safety Executive and the UK Government. We are working with One Moorgate Place on implementing preventative measures to reduce the potential spread of the COVID-19 at the conference. Preventive measures include: 

• Attestation of vaccination from all Wood Mackenzie employees and event attendees
• Masks are strongly encouraged by all event participants at all times
• Enhanced sanitisation of meeting and exhibit spaces
• Extra venue space to allow for social distancing in meeting space

• Masks and testing kits will be available if needed

The responsibility for a safe and healthy event environment is shared among the event organiser, venues and every participant. All participants are expected to adhere to and abide by the safety precautions Wood Mackenzie is implementing to protect against the spread of COVID-19.

Agenda themes:

How can the polyamide industry succeed in the face of continuous disruption? 

In recent years the polyamide industry has been rocked by an unprecedented series of crises which have put a strain on the fundamentals of this industry. Rising energy and feedstock prices, accelerated regionalization, demand disruption, and the transformation of the automotive sector all pose challenges to players across the value chain. What strategies are necessary to survive and thrive in this disrupted world? 

What does the switch to overcapacity mean for the PA66 industry, and the wider value chain? 

With a short market since 2018 – and consequent high prices across intermediates and PA66 – the industry now stands on the cusp of a new operating reality, posing a series of difficult questions. How will the transition from shortage to overcapacity occur, and at what speed? Are we at the dawn of a new ADN and HMD tsunami from China? What will this all mean for the prices of PA66 polymer and its intermediates? 

How do major environmental challenges directly or indirectly impact polyamide or PBT?  

A growing number of environmental factors are already impacting thermoplastics and promise to transform this industry from top to bottom. Physical or chemical recycling, bio-sourcing of intermediaries, and the impact of biodegradable polymers in thermoplastics are all challenges or opportunities to be dealt with without delay.
