Increasing Price of Plastic Raw Material

What on earth that results in the rise of the price of the raw material?

1. On the Demand Side:
1). First of all, the Chinese economy is always slow down in winter especially during the Chinese New Year.
2). And besides, the intention of import is not as attractive as before because Chinese RMB has lost 10% of its value against US dollars last year.

2. On the Supply Side:
The lack of inventory accumulation may put pressure on the price to go down.

Even though the price of PP plastic has go up last year, to prevent the rising price of our plastic food container, Easylock has give quick responce to avoid too much impact on the rising price of the raw material. We add inventory accumulations of our raw material and have control on the cost of production to ensure offering stablize supply price to our customers and prevent shipping delay.
