What it does
Submit your polymer resin requirements (grades, volumes, lead time tolerance). The Global Resin Arbitrage agent compares PP, PE, and PET prices across Europe, USA, Middle East, and Asia — accounting for freight, duties, and currency — to identify the lowest landed cost sourcing region.
Example use case
A converter buying 800 tonnes/year of PP is paying $1,200/t European price. The arbitrage agent identifies that Saudi Arabian PP at $980/t + $85/t freight + 3% duty lands at $1,094/t — a $106/t saving = $84,800 annual opportunity. It flags the lead time extension (6 weeks vs 2 weeks local) as the key trade-off.
