ITP has added four new World Trade Analyses. These analyze global trade in polyethylene monofilament, and, rigid tubes/pipes/hoses made of either polyethylene, polypropylene or PVC.

Each of these analyses is developed from the import/export statistics of all available countries and is estimated to capture nearly all of the world’s trade volume. Combined with analyses on virgin and recyclable polymer, they give a more complete understanding of trade for a particular polymer.

The four new analyses are in addition to existing analyses of film/sheet made from PET, PMMA, PVC, PC, PE, PP and PS, and also PE bags/sacks/cones and PVC floor/wall coverings.
