The mandatory adherence to the Electronic Invoice by manufacturers and importers of thermoplastic resins, in force as of April, is seen with positive expectation by the Brazilian Plastic Industry Association. Merheg Cachum, president of the entity, hopes that the novelty will result in cost reduction and expansion of logistics efficiency in the plastic chain.
In his assessment, the supply chain automation tools, fundamental for the operationalization of the Electronic Invoice, also contribute to the improvement of the interaction between input suppliers and the industry. In the case of plastics, it would be important if there was a cost reduction.
