Environmental concerns can pose long-term threat to plastic companies

PLASTIC and packaging companies which have benefited from the general demand for plastics due to convenience sake may potentially face a growing backlash as environmental concerns gather momentum.

Recent news reports and social media postings have highlighted the growing threat of single-use plastics that are affecting the ecosystems, food supply chains and ocean creatures, noting this may be a medium to long-term threat to plastic and packaging companies should it catch up here in Malaysia.
