C-MACC Sunday Recap 186 & Sustainability Report 146
So Many Moving Parts: Some Moving The Wrong Way and Some Not Moving Fast Enough – Feedback from Pack Expo and CMA’s WCF
- For a first effort, CMA put on a well-attended and comprehensive event last week with a strong sustainability theme throughout and bad news for polyolefins.
- Our theme last week around suspension of disbelief was addressed in the bleak outlook for polyethylene and polypropylene oversupply and its likely persistence.
- Energy transition and sustainability were featured throughout the event, but the idea of who pays for it all was mainly left hanging, with more hope than solutions.
- Our Hydrogen Panel and the debate from the panel and that has occurred since will be discussed in our Tuesday research – many thanks to those who participated.
- Otherwise, we look at the current challenges in the polymer markets and include feedback from the Pack Expo conference – we live in interesting times.
Last week we discussed 15 Chemicals and Related Products and 91 Companies.
