Good morning! What effects might the new Trump administration have on the plastics industry? We heard from several OEMs and processors immediately after the election, and more as we gathered reactions to our annual machinery investment survey. See if their expectations line up with yours.

We have new and updated equipment from Geiss and Shining 3D, and news from the Flexible Film Recycling Alliance and Proco Machinery. And if you missed it, check out our PMM Insight podcast from last Thursday on where the global plastics treaty negotiations may lead.
