Understand the commercial and strategic drivers of PET and Recycled PET supply and demand, price forecasts and leading market trends.
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resin is one of the most widely used thermoplastic polymer resins. Extruded or moulded into plastic bottles, containers and trays, it is used to create rigid packaging for the food and consumer industry.
Whether you are a raw materials producer, a resin producer, a resin converter, an investor, and technology provider or in the recycle business, our commercially-focused insight and detailed proprietary data in PET markets, enables you to pinpoint value and manage risk in this extensive and complex global industry.
Recycle is now on everyone's agenda. PET is one of the most recyclable polymers, how this is likely to develop in the coming 3-5 years is key to our analysis of the PET and RPET industry.
