LONDON (ICIS)–Europe’s virgin polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) markets have been slow to start after the Easter break, with April opening differently as compared to March.
The surprisingly strong trend for PE and PP in early 2024 has started to ease as panic restocking by converters, sparked by logistical issues due to tensions in the Red Sea, subsides.
Ahead of the ICIS World Polyolefins Conference this week, ICIS editors look at early supply/demand signs for April and the changes from March.
This podcast features Matt Tudball, senior editor for Europe R-PET and R-LDPE, and Vicky Ellis, senior editor manager for Europe virgin PE and PP.
ICIS analysts and editors will be at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Vienna, Austria, on 10-11 April for the 10th edition of the ICIS World Polyolefins Conference.
Industry leaders, including Berry Global, Borealis and Plastic Energy, will also share their insights during the conference.
