Safely Ship Manufacturing Materials
Transported to and from every major trade lane, plastic and rubber goods are at the very centre of most modern global supply chains. Plastic and rubber comes in all shapes and sizes, from raw materials to finished items. MSC ship plastics, natural rubber and rubber products all around the world.
From natural polymers to petrochemical derivatives and thermoplastics, these commodities are essential to the manufacture, processing or packaging of products across countless other industries. There is also a substantial industry in the responsible recycling of plastics, rubber and scrap materials, and MSC plays a key role in the management and safe transport of these by-products to safe recycling destinations.
Is it Dangerous to Ship Plastics and Rubber?
If managed efficiently, the shipping process for plastics and rubber products is entirely safe. Ethylene and propylene are transported as small plastic pellets, which are bagged and moved to and from ports and over sea in either our 20 foot or 40 foot steel containers. Polyethylene resin can be transported by truck, barge or train safely to manufacturing facilities to make end products.
