Dependent on petroleum derivatives and metal production from the Gulf, manufacturers are seeing their costs skyrocket. The surge in oil prices has a direct impact on naphtha, the raw material used to make plastics. At the same time, logistical disruptions are slowing imports from the Middle East to Europe. The result: more expensive bottles, jars and flexible packaging, and an increased risk of shortages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With regard to aluminium: The Gulf accounts for nearly 9% of global production. With prices reaching $3,200\/tonne in early March and premiums on the rise, supplies are tightening. Aerosols, tubes and premium packaging are therefore likely to see their costs rise sharply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>&nbsp;Ingr\u00e9dients : l\u2019effet du p\u00e9trole sur les formulations<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The industry is experiencing a double impact: petrochemical derivatives and plant-based raw materials are becoming more expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Ingr\u00e9dients synth\u00e9tiques<\/strong> : Les solvants et conservateurs issus de la p\u00e9trochimie suivent m\u00e9caniquement la hausse du p\u00e9trole.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Huiles v\u00e9g\u00e9tales et ol\u00e9ochimie<\/strong> : La mont\u00e9e des prix du p\u00e9trole favorise les biocarburants, r\u00e9duisant la disponibilit\u00e9 d\u2019huiles comme le palme ou le colza pour la cosm\u00e9tique.
