Our numbers

Our experience allows us to assist and collaborate with numerous players involved in the plastics supply chain:

Years of experience

Customers

Talks

Presentations at conferences

Market studies and analysis

We carry out studies on industrial goods with strong specialization in plastics, chemicals and alternative materials

Market and marketing research

Studies aimed at the precise framing and in-depth study of the dynamics of specific industries or market segments.

Structure Studies

Analysis to determine the articulation of an industry: number of producers, size, characteristics of companies, specific employment, trends.

On certain occasions, actual censuses are conducted of all operators in a particular sector, either nationwide, for example for compostable plastics, or in a specific territory (regional/provincial scope).

Recycling and environmental issues

Studies and analysis dedicated to operators involved or interested in the recovery, sorting and recycling of plastic waste and scrap
Identification of possibilities and opportunities for plastics recovery and recycling and sources of supply
Environmental and socio-economic impact assessment of plastic waste
Construction of circular economy supply chains

Plastic Trend Synthesis

Multiclient study devoted to the detailed analysis of the most widely used thermoplastic polymers: polyethylene (LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE), polypropylene, PVC, styrenics (PS, EPS, ABS), and PET.

Reports real-time data for the year just ended.

Timely: reports data for the past three years and forecasts for the next two years
Synthetic: the essential data, the crucial predictions

Other activities

Production statistics, sizing of industries and production facilities, consulting and advisory on mergers and acquisitions (M&A), identification of manufacturing or business partners, and specialized training.

Strategic consulting

Targeted projects reserved exclusively for each client. We intervene in several areas: growth strategies and margin improvement, targeted customer and supplier research, support for the launch of new materials or manufactured goods, evaluation of market opportunities, know-how sourcing, business diversification, acquisition of new companies or partnerships, and start-up of new industrial initiatives.

Strategic consulting

Tailored solutions

Our services are based on direct relationships with industry stakeholders. We are the industry’s source of information and develop all our own data, conducting over 3,000 interviews with companies in the industry, trade and other industry stakeholders on an annual basis:

Manufacturers of raw materials

Distributors and retailers of raw materials

Transformers

Second processing industry

Conferences and Industry Meetings

Sectors Monitored

In synergy with Ecology & Economics we espouse the concept of circular economy by helping companies and institutional stakeholders respond to the need for sustainable growth. Environmental consulting enables stakeholders to assess the benefits of reusing and recycling manufactured goods at the end of their lives. What was historically considered waste must now be transformed into a new resource.

Raw materials

Polyethylene, polypropylene, PVC, PS, ABS, EPS, PA, UNI EN 13432 compostable polymers and related compounds, recycling polymers and related raw materials.

Pipes and fittings

For infrastructure (gas, water and sewage), construction (drains, thermal sanitation).

Insulating materials

EPS, XPS, PU insulation sheets.

Industrial film

Stretchable, retractable, agricultural, bags and shoppers, stretch hood, etc.

Food film

For automatic and manual packaging, lamination/coupling, heat-sealable, barrier co-extruded, etc.

Trays and trays

Thermoformed food and non-food.

Containers for liquids

Bottles, flasks, bottles, jerry cans, drums, and cisterns.

Disposable and reusable items

Plates, glasses, tavernware and accessories (PS,PP,PET, compostable).

Other Manufactured and Semi-Finished Plastic Products

Coffee and beverage capsules, compact, expanded and honeycomb slabs, semi-finished technical products, etc.
