Southeast Asia has become an emerging market for waste plastics
Singapore: the Asian gathering place of transnational enterprises
Singapore has always been a hub of multinational companies in Asia, now more and more plastic company is headquartered in Singapore for new product development, especially in electrical/electronics and some mould manufacturing. Plastic processors in south-east Asia must constantly improve their efficiency to keep their regional and global competitiveness. German industrial analysts believe the step is to increase the amount of all-electric injection molding machines. In southeast Asia, green technology is also becoming a new market for plastic processors.
Celine, the managing director of the longten company in Singapore, mainly trades in plastic waste plastics in Singapore, mainly for export. She says that in Singapore's scrap plastic market, everyone is fighting for price, but exporting to China, prices are falling, so many of the waste factories are facing challenges.
Vietnam: plastic market chains will mature further
In Vietnam, the packaging industry accounts for about half of the annual production of plastic processing. Vietnam's per capita plastic consumption has risen sharply in the past 20 years, from less than 1kg in 1990 to about 30kg in 2009. Another key to growth in Vietnam is infrastructure investment, such as the electronics industry, where exports were estimated to exceed $5.2 billion in 2010 and are expected to grow by 30% in the future.
Vietnam has a lot of waste plastics processing plants, but it really makes little money. The waste plastic factory in Vietnam is mainly in the north sea defense, haiyang, xingan, Saigon, longan, guzhi and pingyang in the south. The main processing products are ton bag, agricultural film, miscellaneous film, fishing net, miscellaneous bottle, carpet. At present, there are more than 30 factories with tons of granulation, and the output is not less than 200 tons per month. There are more than 20 agricultural film granulation plants, 3 carpets and granulation plants, 4 factories in fishing net, and 10 in the broken factories.
Philippines: waste plastic blood price
At present, in southeast Asia, especially Malaysia, the Chinese come in more, while Singapore is due to the small population and limited resources. Vietnamese and Indonesian Chinese don't want to come in at all, because the Chinese don't feel safe here because of historical reasons. And the Philippines is a little bit better, and people come in slowly, but these countries need to have approval to import the waste. After the hedge operation, Chinese people flocked to southeast Asia to open factories, driving up the price of wool and then driving down the price of particles to the domestic market.
The current situation in the Philippines is now the most difficult in southeast Asia, according to Lin manager of the Philippine company URRUTIATRADING. Because the container sent to the mainland is the fastest in the whole southeast Asia region, many customers are in the market is very low, will not lose the mindset to operate. Philippine Chinese are many. The purchase price is all over the head. Plus a lot of Chinese people operate in an unsound mindset, with fewer cargo flows. Everyone is stocking up on the goods, they feel the price is the lowest, they will not fall out.
Rising star Malaysia: opportunities and threats in China
Malaysia has developed rapidly in recent years, and the growth of all kinds of waste is staggering. The figures show an average of 33,000 tonnes of garbage a day last year, which is what the authorities originally estimated would be until 2020. Malaysia city harmony, housing and local government minister abdullah dhahran, described the 296 there is buried in the soil, only 165 are still operating, only eight is conform to the hygienic standards for the authorities. The recycling of "garbage" is an invisible gold mine, and Malaysia has always attached great importance to local resources. And China about the dangers of the garbage is wanton imports is example, at the end of July this year, the Malaysian authorities to visit China hedge action execution measures such as herald late processing environment is not optimistic in Malaysia, Malaysia waste processing and regulatory system to strengthen the basic as expected.
Malaysia has more than 1,550 manufacturers of plastic products. Among the southeast Asian countries, the plastic and rubber processing industries are the most advanced and diversified. With high technology and low production costs, the plastics and rubber processing industry has been reshaped into a manufacturing base with strong competitiveness. The rapid development of Malaysia's industry is mainly due to its rich oil and natural gas as raw materials, advanced infrastructure and strong support services.
