This week's issue breaks open construction season with a deep dive at the housing outlook for 2023 and what to expect in 2024. Look for it later this week on PlasticsNews.com. Reporter Catherine Kavanaugh covers composite decking improvements, cladding, trim and even toilet seats. She also writes about all the plastics featured in the 2023 home presented by National Association of Home Builders.

Banks have been making global headlines in the last week, but now more than 740 financial institutions are holding assets as they seek plastics pollution-related environmental impact disclosures from thousands of companies.

Machinery maker KraussMaffei Technologies GmbH is in talks with workers' representatives in Europe over "several hundred" layoffs for the German company, although it says those job cuts will not impact its North American subsidiary.

Plastics News tapped correspondent Satnam Singh to cover the 2023 Plastindia show, which was held Feb. 1-5 in New Delhi. This issue features several of the stories from the show and what's in the future for India's plastics sector.
