🎤 THE CONFERENCE SESSIONS @ CEPM 2025
At the CEPM, we’re not afraid to talk about the hard stuff.
The European chemical, plastics and recycling industries are under enormous pressure — regulation, price volatility, supply shifts, energy cost, slow innovations and global competition.
We believe solutions come from bold conversations, not corporate slideshows.
That’s why our conference is:
Open to all registered participants. Designed to spark real debate. Backed by industry data, market intelligence, and unfiltered insights. Interactive — audience questions are encouraged, not buried
📣 Debate. Disagree. Find answers together.
