Impact of the Middle East conflict on European polymers
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?
Join PIE for an exclusive live webinar examining the geopolitical and logistical risks triggered by the Iran conflict and their ripple effects across Europe’s plastics sector.
The webinar will be moderated by Somya Abrol, Deputy Editor-in-Chief, PIE and Dimitrios Koranis, Managing Director, Koranis Purchasing Solutions will be presenting.
Together they will 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
