Petrochemicals Outlook: Plastic Under Pressure

On Demand
Duration: 60 Minutes
Original Date: July 22, 2021
The production of petrochemicals is likely to be the largest growth sector for oil demand to 2050, driven by rising incomes and growing consumer demand for plastics and textiles. While oil and gas producers are relying on petrochemicals for growth—policy initiatives, corporate sustainability goals and consumer backlash are putting pressure on the plastics value chain to address the waste crisis and make net-zero emissions commitments. Join Bloomberg and S&P Global Platts as we look at the near-term market dynamics for recycled plastics and the long-term outlook for petrochemicals, and outline how the shift towards sustainability will impact producers, consumers, and investors. Co-hosted with:
