    The document discusses key megatrends and their implications for the chemicals industry. It notes that the growing solar industry has spurred demand for ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), which is used in solar panel encapsulants. It also describes Teijin's "Eco Circle" closed-loop recycling system for polyester products like fibers, bottles, and films. The system aims to eliminate waste and decrease oil consumption by collecting and recycling polyester materials. Looking ahead, the document considers what these trends may mean for products, markets, and opportunities within the chemicals industry.
