Plastic is one of the most ubiquitous items in our lives, as it is literally anywhere and everywhere we look. One of the most common types of plastic is polyethylene, also known as PE. There are around 80 million tons of polyethylene produced around the world each and every year. This raw plastic is taken by raw plastic distributors to be turned into all kinds of useful plastic products. Raw plastic distributors, who also work as thermoplastic resin distributors, or plastic raw material distributors, just to name a few examples, have a huge role to play in the plastic industry. This article will take a look at of some of the plastic distribution services that raw plastic distributors provide for the industry.

• They Serve as a Link Between Manufacturer and Retailer: One role that raw plastic distributors play is that they serve as an important link between plastic manufacturers and retailers who sell all manner of plastic products. Without raw plastic distributors to ferry products between manufacturers and retailers, the plastic industry would not run nearly as smoothly as it does.
• They Often Act as Manufacturer and Distributor Themselves: Another role that raw plastic distributors play is that they sometimes act as both manufacturer and distributor. While some plastic distributors only work to ferry plastic products between manufacturers and retailers, some will also simply make the raw plastic themselves before distributing their plastic products to where they are needed. Some companies simply find it easier to fulfill both roles themselves instead of relying on other companies to manufacture the raw plastic.
• They Serve as a Vital Link Between Manufacturers: Finally, a third role that raw plastic distributors play is they serve as an important link between manufacturers of plastic. For example, if one company manufactures the raw plastic, the distributors will come in and take it to other manufacturers who will turn it into rough versions of products, who will then send it to another manufacturer that finishes the product, and so on.

In conclusion, raw plastic distributors play a very important role in the plastic industry. For example, they serve as a link between manufacturer and retailer, they can sometimes act as manufacturer and distributor, and also they provide an important link between manufacturers. With all of the roles that raw plastic distributors play, they do a lot to make sure the plastic industry runs as smoothly as possible.
