  • What is Plastics Europe – a European analysis?
  • It also addresses the different recycling technologies and plastics production from non-fossil based resources, i.e. bio-based and bio-attributed and carbon captured plastics. The report shows 2022 estimated data. Plastics Europe publishes the 2024 edition of the “Circular Economy for Plastics – A European Analysis” report.
  • Why is Plastics Europe important?
  • Plastics Europe and its members share societal concerns about the European plastics system’s contribution to climate change and the challenge of plastics waste, and the need to foster the sustainable use of plastics.
  • Why are plasticizer & OXO-alcohol markets stagnating in 2023?
  • With the year 2023 now into its second half, plasticizer and oxo-alcohol markets remain relatively stagnant globally. Demand failed to pick up as hoped and ongoing economic pressures left markets languishing in a slow demand cycle for many months.
  • Why are European plasticizer plants reopening?
  • Producers have continued to operate European 2-EH and plasticizer plants at reduced rates in line with demand. Imports of all general-purpose plasticizers have been competitive, as freight rates fell and the local markets in Asia failed to show any demand improvement, particularly China on which hopes had been pinned.
  • How can we increase the sustainability and circularity of plastics?
  • An important step towards increasing the sustainability and circularity of plastics is to consider and rethink when and why plastics are used. In Europe and worldwide, there is a need to reduce the use of unnecessary plastics, redesign plastic-containing products and extend the lifetime of plastic products already in use.
  • How have plasticizer imports impacted the oxo-alcohol industry?
  • Imports of all general-purpose plasticizers have been competitive, as freight rates fell and the local markets in Asia failed to show any demand improvement, particularly China on which hopes had been pinned. As gas prices and propylene costs have gradually come down, oxo-alcohol producers have been less squeezed.
