3 Reasons Why the Conflict is "Hitting Your Pocket"
- The Petrochemical Link: Whether it's PET or PP, plastic resins are petroleum-based. When oil prices spike, the cost of raw materials for your bottles follows suit.
- Shipping Surcharges: Risks in the Strait of Hormuz lead to higher insurance and fuel costs for global logistics, which are passed down to the resin prices.
- Market Volatility: Unpredictable costs make it harder to calculate ROI. Planning with a reliable manufacturer is now more important than ever.
