plasticsnews | May 30, 2018
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote that U.S. manufacturers are reporting strong employment growth so far this year, with most coming from the durable goods sector. Some durable goods segments are huge end markets for plastics products (automobiles, for example), while others are not (fabricated metal products). Thus, not all durable goods trends are the same when it comes to their impact on plastics.
