President and Chief Executive Officer Tony Radoshevsky said that \u201cas more and more enterprises receive recommendations and orders to close production during the pandemic crisis, it is imperative that health workers have an uninterrupted supply of plastic products, especially those disposable, on which the patient\u2019s life literally depends. \u201d Products such as IV bags and ventilators, which are now of the utmost importance, have components made from polymers. Disposable hospital gowns, gloves and masks that protect healthcare professionals on a daily basis are also made of polymers.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would venture to say,\u201d Radoszewski emphasized, \u201cthat every ambulance, part of the medical equipment, hospital bed, and examination instruments have a component made of plastic, most of which are injection molded with high precision.”<\/p>\n
\u201cIn addition, plastics play a vital role in many other areas, such as protecting food and keeping them fresh, which reduces pollution and waste,\u201d he added. – Plastic products allow you to transfer water to those who do not have access to a clean and safe source. Disposable plastic bags also provide a safe and convenient way to get food home. \u201d<\/p>\n
As the COVID-19 virus spreads across the country, disposable plastics will become even more relevant. \u201cWe live longer, healthier and better thanks to disposable plastics,\u201d says the president of the Plastics Industry Association.<\/p>\n
The PLASTICS Plastic Industry Association (formerly SPI) has been operating since 1937 and is the only American organization to track the entire industry supply chain for polymers and plastic products. About 1 million workers work in it, the annual turnover is about $ 451 billion.<\/p>\n
In Russia, the Union of Plastics Processors (SPP, www.rusopp.ru) acts as such an association, which maintains close cooperation with the Ministry of Industry and Trade on the availability of polymer raw materials for Russian processors and its supply under direct contracts, with the Federal Antimonopoly Service on competition regulation, with the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation and the Eurasian Economic Commission for Customs and Tariff Regulation, the Central Bank of the Russian Federation for monetary policy, as well as with leading business associations (Reliance of Russia and the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs) and is working to make its participants and the industry more competitive in the global market.<\/p>\n
According to Plastinfo.ru, the number of employees in the Russian plastics and rubber processing industry (excluding manufacturers of raw materials) is more than 300 thousand people (according to IAS Seldon.Basis) working in companies whose total turnover in 2018 amounted to about 900 billion rubles.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
