Polyethylene resin demand to exceed 30 billion pounds

Article Abstract:

The Freedonia Group Inc. of Cleveland, OH, calculated that demand from US consumers for polyethylene resins will increase by 3.6% annually until 2002 to reach 30 billion pounds due to higher demand for linear low density polyethylene and high density polyethylene. Growth will be more minimal for ethylene vinyl acetate and conventional low density polyethylene. The packaging markets will foster most of the demand though the markets' maturity will trigger strong expansion in other market categories.

Aerosol can recycling rates up

Article Abstract:

A study done by the Factory Mutual Research Corp (FMRC) shows that about 130 million Americans include empty aerosol cans in their residential recycling bins. This is in marked contrast with 1990, when no municipal programs accepted the empty aerosol cans. The FMRC said aerosol cans pose no significant risks when included in recycling programs. The study was commissioned so that more can be learned about material recycling facilities and their ability to accept aerosol cans.
