Show Notes
SINGAPORE (ICIS) – The short-term demand outlook for recycled polymers from Asia remains sluggish especially for low-value grades, due to multiple factors - mainly poor economics and brand users’ preference of cheaper virgin plastics.
- Upcoming regulation in deep-sea fails to support Asia r-PET exports
- Asia r-PE, r-PP remain traded mostly in domestic markets
- Investments into recycling continue across Asia despite weak demand
