In response to rising plastic raw material prices and the gradual shift of producers from Europe to other regions, last week, the European Plastics Processing Association (EuPC) announced in Brussels, the headquarters, that the organization has represented European plastic processors and called on the European Union to provide plastics processing industry Strong policy support, otherwise a continuously weak industry will have a significant negative impact on downstream users and supply chains of plastic products.
Alexander Danges, executive director of EuPC, expressed concern about the status of the European plastics processing industry. He pointed out that although Europe is still a net exporter of plastic processed products, this situation is likely to change in the future. Not only has the European plastics industry not gone out of the shadow of the economic recession, but it is also facing the competitive pressures of globalization. Danges said that as the price of plastic raw materials continues to rise, producers have gradually shifted from Europe to other regions, and European plastics processing companies are increasingly relying on non-European raw material suppliers. Moreover, because some countries import plastic products do not need to comply with EU regulations and quality standards, European local processing companies are at a disadvantage in competition.
At the European Parliament’s recently held plastics products and trade conference, EuPC issued an appeal to the European Parliament’s main political party, the European People’s Party, in hopes that European government officials will support the European plastics processing industry in their participation in European industrial and trade policy decisions.
Currently EuPC members comprise nearly 50,000 of the 50 European plastic processing countries. Danges emphasized that the plastics processing industry involves most manufacturing fields, from automobiles to food packaging, and is a crucial component of European manufacturing. Legislators must strive for greater rights for the plastics industry, otherwise it will seriously affect the entire downstream. Users and supply chain. Prior to this, EuPC had conducted a series of meetings with the European Parliament, the European Investment Bank and the European Environmental Protection Committee and other institutions, emphasizing the importance of the plastics processing industry in the entire economic and industrial chain, hoping to be able to fund, policies, regulations and technical measures. In other areas, it received government support.
According to EuPC's recently released plastics processing industry report, in 2008 and 2009, the output of plastics processed products in Europe fell by 16% and 25% respectively. In 2010, the plastics processing industry has improved. In the first quarter of this year, in addition to automotive plastics, the output of various plastic products such as construction plastics and packaging plastics will increase year-on-year. However, due to the overall economic trends in Europe, especially the government debt and the downturn in the downstream industry, the plastics processing industry is unlikely to recover in a short time.
