EPSE: Geopolitical Conflict Drastically Impacts European Polycarbonate Industry

Published on 2022-05-17. Edited By : SpecialChem

The current geopolitical situation is highly affecting the members of the European Polycarbonate Sheet Extruders (EPSE).

Multiple Issues and increased Costs


The European Polycarbonate Industry has been familiar with the raw material shortages and the very high fluctuations in the past years and months; however, this geopolitical conflict is impacting the European polycarbonate business on an unprecedented economic level.

Prices are not only drastically increasing on the raw material side, but the EPSE members are also confronted with additional consequences such as radically increased packaging and energy costs.

Next to the above-mentioned issues the industry has been facing transportation problems due to drastic price increases and reduced capacities as the shortage of truck drivers is aggravated.

All these increases and difficulties are accumulating to a level which begins to be difficult to absorb for the members of the European Polycarbonate Sheet Extruders.
