From Volatility to Stability: Challenging the Age of Oil-Based Plastics

The global economy is entering a new era of material risk and businesses dependent on oil-based plastics are increasingly exposed. Between geopolitical instability, energy-related commodity swings, and a tightening web of global environmental mandates, traditional predictable material sourcing is over. 

Historic reliance on fossil fuel-based materials like plastic is now a significant risk to the balance sheet. These materials – among the most volatile commodities – are creating financial, operational, and regulatory risks across sectors. Decoupling products from oil-based plastics is no longer a long-term ambition, it’s an urgent strategic imperative. 

Building from UBQ Materials’ decade of experience pioneering the world’s first alternative to oil-based plastic made entirely from unsorted household waste (UBQ™), this paper offers businesses the tools to adopt stable, reliable, long-term material solutions. Leaders from consumer durables to automotive to retail to logistics are equipped with real world case studies with best practices for innovation, growth and leadership.
