China's Energy Crisis
Affects Plastics Manufacturing
From August 2020 to August 2021, China produced and exported nearly 90 million metric tons of plastic products. That might not seem like much; but as a point of reference, the Great Wall of China weighs only 58 million tons.

China has developed an exceptional economic interest in plastics manufacturing, exporting nearly $50 billion worth of products annually. Chinese plastics manufacturing provides approximately one-third of the plastic used in the world today.

That’s about to be put on hold.

The Chinese response to climate change may significantly damage their economy and the global market. It’s also likely to tank any hope that the worldwide supply chain will become less congested.
