Key Development:

United States: Recent Industry Developments

✅ In November 2025, the U.S. plastics‐recycling industry reported that recyclers in the U.S. and Canada added capacity for roughly 2 billion more pounds of plastic expanding infrastructure for processing post‐consumer plastics.

✅ In mid‐2025, U.S. trade data showed plastic‐scr@p exports worth about US$ 109.12 million in the first half of 2025, indicating active export flows even as domestic recyclers expand their capabilities.

✅ In 2025, global analysis firms highlighted increasing emphasis on recycled and bio‐based plastics, signaling shifting material portfolios in the U.S. and globally toward more sustainable commodity‐plastics production.

Japan: Recent Industry Developments

✅ In October 2025, domestic PP prices in Japan slipped polypropylene prices declined about 2.7% in late October due to oversupply and weak downstream demand, reflecting soft demand for commodity plastics.

✅ In September 2025, Sumitomo Chemical announced acquisition of a 20% stake in Prime Polymer integrating its domestic PP and LLDPE business with Prime Polymer's PP, LLDPE & HDPE operations to optimize capacity amid sluggish domestic demand.

✅ As part of that integration plan (September 2025), Prime Polymer's output capacity for PP is set to rise to 1.59 million tonnes/yr and PE to 720,000 tonnes/yr, consolidating polyolefin production in Japan ahead of projected demand decline.
