EuPC annual meeting yields 'strategic alliance' for polymer supplies / Strong criticism of producers

摘要

At the end of European Plastics Converters' (EuPC, Brussels / Belgium; www.plasticsconverters.eu) recent annual meeting, held in Warsaw / Poland, the association launched a "Strategic Alliance for Polymer Supplies in Europe." An entirely new network, the Europe-wide alliance of plastics processors is the response to the recent series of force majeure announcements, which have resulted in a severe shortage of material. The alliance is "the consequence of very unhappy plastics converters that do not wish to see this [feedstock market situation] repeated in the future," EuPC said.
