Asian purified terephthalic acid (PTA) markets are likely to face a supply burden, with China accelerating its expansion plans, amid a weak demand outlook.

-We can use plastics to change the world for the better

Plastic is often referred to as a material that needs to be eradicated.

There is no doubt that the way we use plastics and our understanding of it as a resource have to change drastically.Petrochemical Circular Economy Sanctions

-European producers intend to at least roll over December PVC prices for January

Negotiations over January shipments of suspension polyvinyl chloride (SPVC) began in the Russian market on Wednesday. Most producers announced a roll-over of December prices for  next month, according to ICIS-MRC Price report.

-Clothing could be to blame for the number of microplastics in our air

The places we don’t find microplastics keep declining. They’re already known to be widespread in the world’s water, to the point that they’re ubiquitous in the guts of sea turtles and have been discovered all the way in Antarctica.

Scientists have also begun to uncover how prevalent they are in the air. Just like microplastic pollution in water, our clothes appear to be a primary culprit.

-Pottery Barn & Aquafil create new rug with Econyl yarn

Pottery Barn Teen has partnered with Aquafil to create a rug for Spring 2020, called the Watercolor Dots Rug. Pottery Barn Teen substituted virgin nylon with Econyl yarn for its sustainable and regenerative qualities. Econyl regenerated nylon is a product of Aquafil, a leader in the synthetic fibres industry and a pioneer in innovation, and sustainability.

Econyl is made from waste that would otherwise pollute the world’s landfills and oceans — including fishnets, fabric scraps, carpet flooring and industrial plastic. Econyl reduces the global warming impact of nylon by up to 80 per cent compared with material generated from oil. The sustainable yarn maintains the same purity and strength characteristics of nylon coming from fossil material, according to Aquafil.
