In 2021, the global plastic cable tie market was worth $133.77 million. According to our survey, the market is expected to register a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.47% during the forecast period at $234.1 million in 2031. The nylon material in the cable tie is difficult to naturally decompose, which may have an adverse long-term impact on the environment. In 2019, an average of 171 trillion and 2.3 million tons of plastic particles would have been floating in the sea. International measures are needed to minimize the ecological, social, and economic damage caused by marine plastics. Let me introduce TIEIT, a solution to the above problem. The product is easy to carry and easy to use by improving expertise. It improves economic feasibility and ESG to prevent unnecessary waste of materials. Cable ties are unlimited in length and can be used multiple times.
