MEXICO CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The region’s most influential industry meet, 9th LAPET to feature experts’ views on staying competitive, innovative strategies, product offerings and Recycled PET.
Just as Coca Cola is targeting 25 percent R-PET content, many more companies are looking to increase their R-PET percentages too. So much so it remains unclear if prices will escalate or if R-PET is as cost effective as virgin PET, if it is still viable to trade in R-PET and what, if any, are the latest Mexican government’s initiatives for R-PET.
CMT’s 9th LAPET aims to answer above pertinent questions. Renowned not only as the largest gathering for PET suppliers and buyers in the region, 9th LAPET is also known for its line-up of top caliber speakers and highly informative sessions. Foremost highly-anticipated is the session by Coca Cola de Mexico that discusses methods of processing R-PET, its challenges and considerations to ensure good quality PCR bottles.
The event will also field Nextek Limited addressing the latest developments in R-PET and challenges for applications in juice and water, as well as Netstal speaking on advances in milk packaging via session entitled ‘PET containers with barrier systems against light for UHT Milk’.
9th LAPET is privileged to have M&G Finanziaria S.r.l., presently the world’s largest producer of PET for packaging applications and technological leader in the polyester market, contribute at the conference. Mrs Cecile Bourland, M&G‘s Marketing Manager, will speak about their innovation and sustainability plans on moving forward in PET, and address related issues such as opportunities for specialty global PET market development and new bio technology/investments & timing.
