Plastic Resin Prices Continue to Rise

Below is an excerpt from www.ptonline.com/

“Prices of all the volume commodity resins moved up sharply after the unprecedented mid-February winter storm that hit the Gulf Coast, shutting down as much as 80-85% of production of key feedstocks and resins. The limited public information from resin suppliers on restarts or damage to the facilities contributed to an uncertain outlook on resin availability. As part of the fallout, demand appears to have surpassed supply for all volume commodity resins with perhaps the exception of polystyrene. Prices reacted accordingly, most extremely for PP. It was expected that before the end of March, there would be a better assessment of where things stood.”
