On March 10 local time, Iran was fiercely attacked by the United States and Israel, and the White House warned: if the Strait of Hormuz is blocked, the United States will respond strongly.

Why is this strait so important? Because this global “artery” of oil carries 20 million barrels of crude oil per day, accounting for 20% of the world’s supply. Once closed, one-fifth of the world’s oil will face supply disruption.

Middle East War Leads to Plastic Price Rises in Dongguan

With the escalation of the US-Iran conflict, the war has affected Dongguan, China, 6,000 kilometers away, along the industrial chain. As the largest bulk plastic spot trading market in South China, Zhangmutou, Dongguan, has an annual trading volume of 15 million tons, accounting for one-tenth of the national market. ABS soared from 8,000 yuan/ton to more than 13,000 yuan/ton, an increase of over 60%; PC rose from 11,000 yuan/ton to more than 16,000 yuan/ton, an increase of over 40%.

ThoYu Equipment Breaks Through Cost Dilemma with “Waste Materials”

While peer enterprises are in a dilemma due to the skyrocketing price of new materials and the “lock-up” and limited sales of upstream materials, with profits severely squeezed, enterprises using ThoYu’s waste plastic pallet making machine can maintain a stable cost structure and calmly respond to market fluctuations.

ThoYu’s professional waste plastic pallet making machine uses waste plastic as its main raw material, eliminating dependence on costly new materials. Unaffected by upstream price hikes or supply limits, it ensures more stable and controllable production. With waste plastic costs far below virgin materials, ThoYu’s cost advantage multiplies when new material prices soar.

Take ThoYu’s previous cooperative Japanese cable customer as an example. The customer used the cable skin scraps generated in its own production as raw materials to produce pallets through ThoYu’s waste plastic pallet making machine, with the raw material cost almost zero, greatly increasing the product profit space.

Imagine how much the profit space would be if the customer used waste plastic suitable for ThoYu’s waste plastic pallet making machine as raw materials?
