The plastics industry has faced some significant challenges over the past few decades brought on by growing regulations that govern the production, disposal and cleanup of hazardous chemicals, as the usage of plastic products contributes to environmental pollution. Since plastic is derived mainly from oil and natural gas, manufacturers are subject to pricing volatility as well. Add to that the decreasing lifecycle of the product and it’s no wonder that plastics manufacturers are struggling to remain competitive.
