In February, manufacturers of flexible plastic packaging reported weak demand and presumably high inventories on the customer side.
Supply of standard commodity plastics was "not a problem at all" and the barrier material EVOH was also more readily available, according to EUWID respondents.
The high energy costs remained a major issue in the market. The trend towards more sustainable packaging also continued, with the main focus on the use of mono-materials.
