This statistic displays the distribution of plastics converter demand in the European Union* (EU-28) in 2018, by polymer type. Source: PlasticsEurope Market Research Group (PEMRG) and …

Price of Palladium Found in Catalytic Converters Skyrockets Due to Chinese Demand An ounce of the material now costs about as much as a 2000 Honda Civic. Plastic & Rubber. US demand for fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) composites will climb 4.7 percent annually to 4.3 billion pounds in 2017, valued at $22.8 billion. The highest share … DOES NOT INCLUDE: PET FIBERS, PA FIBERS, PP FIBERS AND POLYACRYLS-FIBERS For example, a converter’s equipment might take a web of plastic film, cut it into lengths, and fuse their edges, thus converting it into plastic bags.

Processes. By 2022, global polyethylene demand is expected to reach 120 MMT annually, while global demand for polypropylene is expected to be just under 90 MMT. This activity is known as web processing. European plastic converter demand includes plastic materials (thermoplastics and polyurethanes) and other plastics (thermosets, adhesives, coatings and sealants). Recycling of plastic packaging waste in the EU 2017, by country + Does not include: PET fibers, PA fibers, PP fibers and polyacryls-fibers. PLASTICS EU CONVERTER DEMAND PER COUNTRY EUROPEAN PLASTIC CONVERTER DEMAND INCLUDES PLASTIC MATERIALS (THERMOPLASTICS AND POLYURETHANES) AND OTHER PLASTICS (THERMOSETS, ADHESIVES, COATINGS AND SEALANTS). Over 23 billion pounds per year of new polymer (including PE, PVC, ABS, PET, PP, PS, EPS) capacity 1 is likely to come on-stream in the United States by 2020 (see past blog), most justified based on low cost gas.This will allow the United States to be the second lowest cost region 2 in the world for products such as polyethylene (see cost curve in past study).
