SUPPLY BROKEN: The 2026 Plastic Crisis & The "Middleman Mafia"
In 2026, these aren't just plastics anymore—they are gold. With the Middle East conflict and Red Sea pirates setting the global trading network on fire, your overseas orders are currently trapped in the middle of the ocean. Welcome to the WTS Industry Update. In this episode, Jason and Daniel break down the devastating 2026 plastic supply chain collapse. From the FCFC force majeure notice to Butadiene prices taking a steroid-fueled jump from $1,000 to $2,200 a ton—this isn't a price hike, it's a robbery! To make matters worse, the "Middleman Mafia" is hoarding raw materials like pandemic toilet paper, choking producers and bleeding consumers dry. When buyers are tearing their hair out over hostage-level material prices, yelling "we have the biggest capacity" is a dead marketing strategy. It's time to pivot. Watch to find out how you can survive this industry hell and secure your supply chain.

“Taiwan machines are excellent, but why does the quotation take so long?” In this exclusive interview from the 2026 IPF Bangladesh, we sit down with Mr. Hakim, an industry veteran with over 22 years of experience. Having promoted Taiwanese machinery since 2010, he shares why 90% of the Bangladesh market chooses Taiwan—and the one critical reason they might stop.

However, a new challenge has emerged: The Speed Gap. In this video, you will learn: The Bangladesh Market: Why Taiwanese printing & packaging machines dominate 90% of the market. The Pain Point: Why "taking time to think" is making Taiwan lose out to faster competitors. The Winning Strategy: What Bangladesh buyers need from Taiwanese suppliers right now to keep the success.

TPE, TPR, TPU Materials Explained | PRM What to Say EP12
In this episode, we will open a special page for TPU and TPE, TPR materials. Because there are several common confusions about them. Then, let’s understand the differences and fields of application of those innovative materials together. 【TPE/TPR】 Both TPE(Thermoplastic Elastomer) and TPR(Thermoplastic Rubber) belong to the family of Thermoplastic Elastomers, and there isn’t a defined industry standard to distinguish them. But, it is certain that TPE is made from SEBS, while TPR is made from SBS block copolymers. [TPE/TPR Applications] TPE/TPRs are great for anywhere that flexibility, comfort, or cost savings are needed. They are a top choice for medical applications like surgical and dental tubing and also tubing used in the food/beverage industry. 【TPU】 TPU(Thermoplastic polyurethane ) is a soft polyether type polyurethane that is available in a range of hardness grades, which gives a diverse application range to TPU. There are two main types based on soft segment chemistry: Polyester-based TPUs, and Polyether-based TPUs. [TPU Applications] With their resistance properties, TPU is superior for use anywhere that ozone, extreme temperatures, and high levels of abrasion are a concern. In addition to medical uses, TPU is also a popular material for sporting goods, tubing, wire, protective coatings, and more. All those materials above are alternatives for natural rubber and are easy to manufacture. Moreover, those materials can be 100% recycled.
