8. Mexico
$1.7 billion
2.6% of Total Exports
In January of 2017 alone, Mexico that ranks 8th in our list of countries that export the most plastic in the world has produced and exported over $14.5 million in plastic products. Much of this comes from major producing companies such as Plasticos Herol and Osterman Plastics de Mexico, which cuts out the middleman and serves as a direct line between manufacturers and plastics producers throughout the country. This results in the production of a number of popular products, including Bose speakers–two manufacturing plants are located in Mexico–and made in Mexico (MIM) fender stratocaster guitars.
