Supply shortfalls and price explosion for plastics put processors under massive pressure

The manufacturers of plastic products are raising their voice in view of the continuing shortage of raw materials that is already causing restricted production and delivery capacities. Recently, drastic price jumps for plastics are putting even more pressure on the predominantly medium-sized plastics converters. All sectors of the plastics converting industry and all types of plastics are affected – ranging from standard materials such as PP, PE and PVC, engineering plastics such as ABS, PC and PA, to high-performance plastics such as PVDF and PTFE.
