What if the current period is the calm before the storm for the nylon industry? Quentin de Carvalho looks at the 5 key issues for the industry to focus on in 2019.
China's luckiest number is 8 – so we posed 8 questions to Steve Jenkins, Vice President Consulting - Chemicals, Polymers & Fibres about China's petrochemicals market.
The Chinese government's plans to ban waste imports, including plastics and RPET waste products by the end of 2017 could have significant repercussions; not only for the Chinese fibre industry but also for the global recycling chain.
Kelly Cui, our expert in CTO, explains how this emergent technology could transform global olefins and olefins derivatives trade by enabling China to become more self sufficient in ethylene, propylene and butadiene.
Steve Zinger assesses changing investment patterns of US chemicals companies in a major article by the Wall Street Journal. He evaluates how global ethylene consumption is growing and explores the drivers for this from a low gas price to new and plentiful sources of supply in North America.
Dr Pieterjan Van Uytvanck reviews the outlook for sustainable polyester markets in his recent blog.
A less favourable economic backdrop means Covid-19 looks set to have a bigger impact than the 2003 SARS outbreak did.
Changing oil price dynamics add an extra dimension to ethylene’s overcapacity outlook.
Capex cuts, deferred projects and new partnerships are a feature of the new industry landscape as chemicals companies adapt to the effects of Covid-19.
Covid-19 has created challenging economics for many petrochemicals players, leaving some at risk of financial distress.
Polyolefins dominate global plastics production, and offer useful insights into the overall health of the petrochemicals industry. So what are the drivers of demand? How has coronavirus altered the picture? And what really sets polyolefins apart in a chemicals portfolio?
Integration has become a strategic imperative, but measuring value is notoriously difficult. Our experts crunched the numbers for Total’s integrated portfolio and looked at how that compared to Shell.
Biosourced, biodegradable polymers are a low-carbon alternative – but they’re yet to break into the mainstream.
The coronavirus outbreak has stunted economic growth, but what is the impact on polymer value chains?
Paper is often lauded as a far more environmentally-friendly alternative to plastic – but but comparing green credentials is a complex issue.
Recycled material is key to a more circular plastics economy – but where local supply struggles to match demand brands may need to weigh up the import option.
Chemical recycling is one route to a more circular plastics economy, with increasing interest in leveraging pyrolysis technology to produce feedstocks.
The firm is undertaking a strategic review of its weakest integrated refinery-petrochemical site.
Why complex sites that integrate petrochemicals and more will have the edge long-term
The move towards a circular economy is one of many initiatives being pursued as society seeks to reduce its environmental impact. Within the refining and chemical industries, there is an increasing focus on how technology and research can be applied to support the re-engineering of many product value chains, thereby reducing the environmental impact of specific products throughout their entire lifecycle.
2020 has been characterised by a pandemic-driven collapse in demand and turbulent feedstock prices. How will the industry navigate the challenging times ahead?
Covid-19 has accelerated the adoption of ecommerce, which typically uses more packaging than traditional retail. The pressure is on for brands, and the packaging industry, to deliver sustainable solutions.
And after the 12 months we’ve all just experienced, making bold predictions for the year ahead is more fraught than ever: nothing is off the table.
With petrochemical demand growth resilient and the energy transition putting pressure on transport fuel demand, the role of integrated refinery-petrochemical sites will only grow. How does integration alter the competitive position of a site? And what are the threats to its value? Read our answers to these questions, and more.
A tumultuous year has highlighted some key truths for the downstream sector – and new performance benchmarks are being set.
The transition to a circular economy is priority for the plastics value chain.
The ‘war on plastics’ is changing the packaging industry. But while much of the debate focuses on recycling, reuse still plays a marginal role in most packaging markets. Is that about to change? And what would that mean for polymer demand?
Which refineries will be most at risk of closure by 2030?
Plastics have enjoyed popularity across multiple sectors for decades, but times are changing. As environmental and economic pressures mount, will demand hold up?
As chemical producers face increasing pressure to decarbonise, technology investment could see plastic demand loss supported through elimination, substitution, and reuse/refill mechanisms.
