Packaging Sector to Unleash Mammoth Growth Opportunities for High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) Market, finds TMR
Plastic packaging takes up a large volume of the high density polyethylene produced. Roughly 30% of the global packaging industry materials used is high density polyethylene (HDPE), as it is a core plastic in rigid packaging. Bags, films, containers, caps and closures, and bottles are the most common packaging products that use high density polyethylene.
