For many in the industry the current state of affairs can only be described as shocking. Whilst feedstock cost is one of the key drivers of this exceptional situation, the lack of shipping containers, shipping delays and the high costs associated with shipping are all adding to the upward price spiral.
From the perspective of polymer producers there is little that they can do in a free market, other than try to maximise supply and hope that increasing price goes some way to kerb demand. Of course, the limited supply of feedstock coupled with restricted imports is handicapping the chances of increasing supply of polymer and it is pretty much clear from the empty warehouses throughout Europe that the supply chain is also empty.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_btn title=”Download (PDF)” style=”flat” color=”green” i_icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-arrow-down” add_icon=”true” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.plastribution.co.uk%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2021%2F04%2Fapril-21-price-know-how.pdf|||”][mk_padding_divider size=”20″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row fullwidth=”true”][vc_column][vc_raw_html]JTVCZGZsaXAlMjBpZCUzRCUyMjY0NTAlMjIlNUQlNUIlMkZkZmxpcCU1RA==[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row]
