2026 Key themes
 

 Polyolefins markets under pressure

The global PE and PP markets are still facing sustained overcapacity and softer demand that is altering trade flows. Explore how producers, traders, and converters are adapting to this new reality where managing margin pressure and short-term survival is the order of the day. 

 Making circularity commercial

European sustainability targets are moving from ambition to delivery, and the polyolefins industry is focusing on what truly works at scale. Regulatory demands within the polyolefins sector mandate targets for mechanical and chemical recycling alongside defined feedstock strategies.

 Meeting the next wave of end-user demands

End-use markets are always evolving and reshaping requirements for performance and changing quality demands. With specialist roundtables learn how packaging, automotive, healthcare, and electronics customers are influencing material innovation and value creation across the polyolefins value chain.
