-Textile industry will face a bigger challenge in May
Sudden outbreak of COVID-19 epidemic has brought unprecedented impact on China’s economic development. The current global economy has fallen into a recession, and China’s textile and apparel mills are also facing unparalleled challenges. The bigger test is yet to come in May.
- Weavers cut output due to higher feedstock inventory.
In end-April, the common status of several products was that weavers have successively controlled production and prices lost value rapidly. Since export orders have basically cancelled, soft domestic demand was hard to support market development, and inventory has reached high level, demand is mainly expected to be unlikely to warm up, so production cut is expected to increase further.

-China PET bottle chip exports see improvement in Mar, but concerns still exist
According to the Customs, China PET chip export volume totals 385kt in Mar 2020, y-o-y falling 4.9%, including 48kt for HS code 39076910, y-o-y down 10.6%, and 337kt for HS code 39076110, y-o-y falling 4%. Calculating HS code 39076110 alone, PET bottle chip exports totaled 667kt in Jan-Mar, y-o-y slipping 22.9%. If combines HS code 39076110 and 39076910, PET resin exports totaled 720kt in Q1, y-o-y down 23%. Mar demand has enhanced in drastic, as exports in single month has surpassed Jan-Feb total.
Mar exports hike is mainly due to delay of Feb orders, including some orders that delayed delivery to Apr. Hence, Mar export volume exceeding 300kt is no strange. So far so speaking, Apr export delivery volume may decline obviously comparing with Mar, possibly to slightly higher than 200kt. Petrochemicals PET Polyamide FDY
Currently, PET resin factory stock level doesn’t count low, but delivery of some specs sees tightness, where does the stock head to then?
-PX lack of direction, still under strain
China PX market was in a lull in Apr. In the lack of a clear direction, PX price tracked the movements of upstream naphtha and downstream PTA. However, the market was still under immerse strain from long supply and demand fundamentals.
- PX-naphtha spread gets narrowed, but operating rate is stable
PX-naphtha spread has increased to 6-month high since this Mar. Though it has dropped in Apr, it was still higher than the lows recorded in last Nov-Dec. As the spread was acceptable, China PX operating rate was kept stable at highs. The operating rate of PX plants in China averaged 80.5% to-date in Apr, rebounding to the new high since Oct 2019.

-New project “to prove that plastic is the best material for food packaging”
Andaltec has launched the R&D Project “BioNanocel”, aimed at developing biobased active plastic packaging manufactured with cellulose obtained from vegetal biomass.
This initiative aspires to produce sustainable plastic material for the food industry, with enhanced properties. It will reuse vegetal biomass waste derived from the agricultural activity, which is usually squandered. Petrochemicals PET Polyamide FDY
Researchers at Andaltec are already working to synthesise biodegradable and compostable plastics, which will be employed as raw materials for food packaging.
-New BPF report highlights the process and principles of sustainable plastic packaging design
The British Plastics Federation (BPF) has released a report outlining the key principles and processes for the design of sustainable plastic packaging.
The report, entitled ‘Sustainable Design for Plastic Packaging’, is not a policy document, rather one that promotes ‘principles for eco-design’ based on a range of views represented at a specially held workshop looking at the complete process of plastic packaging design.
The workshop, attended late last year by packaging experts and representatives from across the packaging supply chain, including brands, retailers, material suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, waste processors, NGOs and academics, looked at the decision-making processes involved in developing a new item of plastic packaging and where key decisions were made.
