Masterbatches is widely used in the production of plastic products in life to reduce production costs and create competitive advantages for plastic products. Today, the demand for using products made from masterbatches is gradually increasing with a growth of 16-18% / per year. However, because the need has grown significantly and many businesses still depend on raw materials, as a result, there is a unbalance in supply and demand. So what is the solution to tackle a problem of lacking raw materials for plastic industry? This article will reveal a method to address this issue.
