The reference 15ml-200ml PE squeeze tube carries a delivered cost of roughly USD 0.18 per unit, of which PE resin (LDPE/HDPE) accounts for 45%. The dominant supply risk is not volume shortage but specification mismatch: legacy EVOH/foil laminate tubes face recyclability penalties under PPWR design-for-recycling rules that take effect 1 January 2030, while mono-PE tubes aligned to APR D-PE and RecyClass standards are p
