Strengthening Stable Procurement Support for Plastic Raw Materials like PE and PP via China Routes

Supporting molding factories and raw material traders facing supply delays and price surges. With a long-established network of overseas suppliers, we assist in sustainable procurement, from alternative proposals tailored to specific uses, quality, and deadlines to cost reviews.

Uprise Corp (Headquarters: Higashiyodogawa-ku, Osaka; CEO: Naoko Taira), a specialized trading company for plastic raw materials, will strengthen its support services, including raw material procurement and alternative proposals via unique China routes, starting May 1, 2026. This initiative targets molding factories and traders struggling with procurement due to naphtha price hikes and supply instability caused by Middle East tensions. Leveraging years of overseas networking, we support the discovery of optimal suppliers and contribute to the stability of the manufacturing supply chain.

1. Background of Service Enhancement In recent years, naphtha, the primary raw material for plastic resins, has been significantly affected by geopolitical risks. The supply environment is increasingly uncertain due to instability in the Middle East, raising concerns about price increases for resins like PE and PP. Uprise is strengthening its material proposals by utilizing overseas procurement routes, particularly in China, alongside existing domestic procurement.

2. What Uprise Can Do Leveraging a network of Chinese suppliers built over 20 years, we address the following challenges: - Procurement consultation for various materials such as PE, PP, PS, ABS, and HIPS. - Alternative proposals for virgin and recycled materials. - Proposals for eco-friendly materials, including PCR 100% recycled resins. - Proposals for cost reduction and supply stabilization.

3. About Uprise Corp Uprise is a specialized trading company involved in the import, export, and sale of recycled plastic materials, virgin resins, and biodegradable resins. We promote resource recycling to balance environmental protection with economic activity.
