2027

Conversations Defining the Future of Polyolefins!

 

The 12th ICIS World Polyolefins Conference once again united key decision-makers from across the polyethylene and polypropylene value chains for two days of high-level strategic insight and connections.

Taking place in Brussels, at the heart of Europe’s regulatory and policy ecosystem, the conference brought together industry leaders to examine the legislative, sustainability and trade forces shaping the polyolefins industry. Attendees benefited from in-depth discussions on tackling the plastic waste crisis, the growing market in Eastern Europe and innovations in end-use applications.

The 2026 agenda defined what success looked like for the European polyolefins industry while also exploring global supply-demand trends. Through expert-led presentations, interactive panels and extensive networking, delegates gained practical takeaways and built valuable connections to help navigate an increasingly complex and fast-moving market.

 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.
