Rising tensions in the Middle East are putting global energy and petrochemicals under pressure. What does a disruption in the Strait of Hormuz mean for European plastics producers, converters, and distributors? How dependent is the industry on Iranian or Gulf-region oil and feedstocks, and how did we reach this level of exposure?

Watch an exclusive recording of the webinar in which we examined the geopolitical and logistical risks triggered by the Iran conflict and their ripple effects across Europe’s plastics sector.

The webinar was moderated by Somya Abrol, Editor-in-Chief at PIE, and presented by Dimitrios Koranis, Managing Director, Koranis Purchasing Solutions.

Together they address practical questions such as:

• Europe’s current energy dependence
• Impact of disrupted oil, naphtha flows on polymer pricing
• The importance of the Strait of Hormuz for our industry
• Expert insights on freight, logistics, and sourcing
