The impact is immediate: customers save an average of 19% in their first year, with over $1B in collective resin cost savings to date. ResinSmart is the only complete platform built exclusively for smarter resin buying decisions. Powered by RTi, founded in 1998, it brings decades of hard-won market visibility and leverage to a supplier-dominated industry.
