Petrochemicals has wide application in packaging industry

In the packaging industry, petrochemicals are utilized as a raw material in the manufacturing of polymers. Polyethylene that is made from ethylene can be soft, hard, and pliable. Pliable and soft polyethylene is mainly used as a raw material for flexible packaging. It is usually used to store and package a wide range of products. Whereas, hard polyethylene is utilized for the manufacturing of rigid packaging. With the increase in demand for rigid and flexible packaging, the demand for polyethylene and thus ethylene is projected to rise over the forecast period, which is anticipated to boost the global petrochemicals market growth.
