The Myanmar Plastics Industry Association said it is planning to buy second-hand plastic products from developing countries because of the high prices of raw materials in Myanmar's plastic products manufacturing industry.
Chairman of Myanmar Plastics Industry Wu Tun:
They will import raw materials mainly from Japan and the United States, though their raw materials are second-hand, but they are almost the same as new ones. Their recycling is not the same as that of Yangon. We are recycling from garbage and their products are factory cut By-product.
After importing raw materials from developing countries, they can also produce better products and reduce the sales price.
The import of plastic products used in developing countries has been submitted to the Ministry of Commerce of Myanmar. After obtaining the import approval, the related enterprises will purchase second-hand plastics from Japan and the United States. It is learned that the cost of importing 60% of foreign-owned factory by-products can be saved.

The plastic pellets of raw materials required for the production can only be imported from abroad. At present, the plastic products industry in Myanmar The greatest difficulty encountered.
