What are the upstream raw materials for recycled ABS/PS? What are the downstream products?

In the field of raw materials to chemical production, the upstream and downstream related items of recycled ABS/PS are quite abundant. Based on my observations, The following are some of the main upstream and downstream related items:



1. Upstream related items:

Styrene: Styrene is the main raw material to the production of PS, and PS is an crucial component in the production of recycled ABS. Therefore, the price fluctuation and supply situation of styrene have an crucial impact on the production of recycled ABS/PS. Acrylonitrile: Acrylonitrile is an crucial raw material to the production of ABS, and its supply and price trends will also have an impact on the production of recycled ABS. discarded materials plastics: The main raw materials to recycled ABS/PS come from discarded materials plastics, such as discarded home appliance shells and auto parts. For example Recycling and reuse of discarded materials plastics is essential to the production of recycled ABS/PS.

2. In my experience, Downstream related items:

domestic appliances: Regenerated ABS/PS is able to be applied to create housings to domestic appliances, such as televisions, washing machines, refrigerators, etc. And Therefore, the demand to home appliances has a direct impact on the market to recycled ABS/PS. Based on my observations, Automotive parts: Regenerated ABS/PS is able to also be applied to create automotive parts, such as dashboards, door panels, etc. The research and demand of the automotive sector will also have an impact on the market to recycled ABS/PS. Building materials: Recycled ABS/PS is able to be applied to create building materials, such as pipes, plates, etc. Therefore, the demand and policy direction of the construction sector will also have an impact on the market to recycled ABS/PS. Moreover In summary, the upstream and downstream related items of regenerative ABS/PS cover many fields, and its market is affected by many factors. Based on my observations, Therefore, in the production and sales process, it's necessary to pay close attention to the market dynamics of upstream and downstream items in order to adjust production and sales strategies in time.
