Reviews

4.5 out of 5 stars from 35 ratings
  • Great content but bad audio quality

    Love the content and the expertise provided by the podcast. But for a professional podcast, the audio quality is below bad. This makes the podcast very difficult to consume. If you would up the microphones and the Audio quality just a bit, this podcast becomes much easier to listen to.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 1506: PODCAST: Supply uncertainties remain key talking point in 2027 Asian C3 contracts
Q: Do China players feel that the downtrend will be short-lived, and what is the general feeling towards the market balance next year?
Prices fell as buyers anticipated a restart at Shandong Zhenghua, but firm costs and demand from oxo-alcohol producers supported a rebound. Plant operations, feedstock constraints, and price volatility are expected to keep the supply outlook uncertain.
Episode 1506: PODCAST: Supply uncertainties remain key talking point in 2027 Asian C3 contracts
Q: What are you seeing in the Asian market right now, how would you describe current market sentiment and liquidity, and have you heard early indications for next year's term contracts during the conference?
The market entered the conference on a bullish note, with Northeast Asian prices at a new 2026 high. Participants favored formula-based discussions, and November shipment deals were concluded at premiums around $50 per tonne. She expects 2027 negotiations to be prolonged as supply availability tightens and seller expectations rise.
Episode 1508: Think Tank: Europe chemicals need new ways of evaluating low carbon technologies
Q: What are the criteria for judging, say, that chemical recycling or mechanical recycling are worth pursuing against more than other technologies?
He evaluates electricity and process costs, carbon abatement, market value, water requirements, and, for chemicals, toxicity and adaptability.
Episode 1508: Think Tank: Europe chemicals need new ways of evaluating low carbon technologies
Q: How would you say the current situation in Europe, chemicals and broader manufacturing means that there's a need for a new direction?
Cayuela describes high energy and feedstock costs, overregulation, weak demand and large-scale Chinese capacity growth, including China's ambition to become self-sufficient and export clean chemicals.
Episode 1509: Sustainably Speaking: Why ReVentas is building 750,000 tonnes of dissolution recycling capacity
Q: How do your costs compare to the normal mechanical recycling routes that produce a packaging-grade pellets? And how much of a blocker is that for brands?
Rose says ReVentas is targeting the price range of higher-quality natural mechanical recyclate because its material is expected to be better quality. He says the company aims to reduce process costs as capacity expands, with a longer-term goal of bringing prices close to virgin resin.
