#1 In EuropeThe Plastic Product Manufacturing industry encompasses a huge range of plastic products, from packing goods to construction supplies to plastic plates, sheets, tubes and profiles, which means it supplies many industries. The plastic product market is heavily susceptible to changing downstream conditions and climate policies, given the environmental damage plastics can bring. For example, strong business sentiment and industrial production activity can fuel demand for plastic packaging, while growing output in the construction sector can propel orders of plastic construction supplies. EU recycling regulations are playing a big role in plastic producers’ operations, with companies placing growing emphasis on producing recyclable products or manufacturing goods using recycled plastics to reduce their environmental impact.
