Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What is the outlook for recycled PET in 2026?
Q: How is regulation affecting domestic PET circularity, and what role could EPR play?
Regulation in Europe is pushing domestic circularity through measures like deposits and restrictions on imports, while EPR could, in blue or purple states, expand recycling access and accelerate collection policies, though its impact will vary by state.
What is the outlook for recycled PET in 2026?
Q: What is driving the plant closures in North America, and how long might the pressure last?
Closures are driven by the price gap between virgin polymers and recycled materials, high fixed costs for recycling, and import competition, with the expectation that the downturn could persist for several years before market conditions normalize.
What does supply chain resilience look like in practice?
Q: How do you evaluate suppliers, and what considerations are important?
A modern evaluation framework considers commercial viability, operational capabilities, compliance with sustainability, and strategic fit.
What does supply chain resilience look like in practice?
Q: How should we think about the tradeoff between reliability and cost?
It's essential to consider the total cost of risk rather than simply the lowest cost, as the cheapest supplier may not be the best for reliability.
What does supply chain resilience look like in practice?
Q: How can a company get visibility beyond those Tier 1 suppliers?
Companies can use AI to map their suppliers' production locations and understand trade flows, enhancing transparency.
