摘要

According to Industrievereinigung Kunststoffverpackungen eV (IK), the largest association for plastics manufacturers in Europe, the plastics packaging industry is enjoying full order books, and the prognosis for the third quarter is promising overall. However, the industry is concerned about the disproportionately high cost of raw materials as well as the shortage of certain primary materials. The IK says that the clients of the plastics packaging producers have 'lost their patience with the cunent situation'.
