The global polyolefins market has witnessed significant growth due to the high consumption of polyethylene and polypropylene for various end-uses. The demand for plastics has significantly increased worldwide, driving higher consumption of polyethylene. The high tensile strength of polyethylene, along with its high impact resistance, has contributed to its demand in the packaging sector. Polyethylene can be heated to its melting point, cooled, and reheated multiple times without great degradation in strength or quality. This makes it highly suitable for applications such as geomembranes, plastic films, and bags.
