Impacts of government mandates, a global recession and the Coronavirus pandemic

The repercussions of the coronavirus pandemic continue to be felt across the recycled plastics market, with the global economy facing greater uncertainty than at any time in living memory.

As we head into a period of global oversupply in the polymers markets amidst the backdrop of an ongoing pandemic and an upcoming global recession, how will recycling be funded in the future as more ambitious recycled-content mandates are passed?

Join S&P Global Platts specialists on November 19 for our US and European Recycled Plastics Webinar to get updates on current market dynamics, the latest industry pricing and news, and submit questions to our petrochemicals team as they discuss the topics below:

  • Get an overview of how the global pandemic has impacted recycled and virgin polymer markets in the third quarter of 2020
  • As more municipal governments in the US redirect funding away from recycling programs, how will supply be impacted?
  • What will be the impacts of government mandates on demand? And will these mandates be the solution to finally decoupling the virgin and recycled markets?
