Polyethylene, also known as polythene, is one of the most used plastics in the world for packaging and various other applications such as making plastic bags, bottles, plastic films, containers, and geomembranes. It is a thermoplastic, meaning it can be reshaped through heating and cooling processes. Globally, a total of over 100 million tonnes of polyethylene is produced on an annual basis for commercial and industrial purposes, while China comes out as one of the leading producers and exporters of polyethylene.
The polythene market in China is dominant in the Asia-Pacific region due to the growing population, strong manufacturing infrastructure, construction growth, and growing exports. Furthermore, the development and use of eco-friendly polythene has increased the adoption of polythene products.
