Prices of plastic resins up 30%


PRICES of plastic resins, both local and imported, have increased substantially between 15% and 30% in late January this year compared with November 2002. 

The increase was in line with the surge in the crude oil price, which had surpassed US$30 per barrel, the Malaysian Plastics Manufacturers Association (MPMA) said in a statement.
