ResinSmart Launches Market Intel Platform to Level the Playing Field for Resin Buyers

FORT WORTH, Texas, Sept. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Today marks a monumental day for the plastics industry: the official launch of ResinSmart (powered by RTi), the first platform built to scale and simplify the market intelligence that RTi has provided resin buyers for over 25 years.

For decades, plastic resin suppliers have had the upper hand—armed with endless data, while resin buyers have been forced to navigate a fragmented, supplier-biased information landscape. ResinSmart changes that. By combining unbiased pricing benchmarks, predictive forecasts, real-time market insights, and expert negotiation guidance—all informed by RTi's proprietary data built from 3B+ pounds of resin transactions—the platform levels the playing field for buyers everywhere.

The results speak for themselves: ResinSmart clients save an average of 19% in their first year—and to date, resin buyers using the program have already saved more than $1 billion collectively.

"For more than two decades, we've equipped resin buyers with intelligence that suppliers wish they didn't have," said Bob Vargo, CEO of RTi & ResinSmart. "ResinSmart takes that same proven market intelligence and puts it in a modern, intuitive analytics platform that makes it faster and easier to act. This is a turning point for our industry."

ResinSmart offers buyers the ability to:

• Know the right resin price—now and in the future with predictive forecasting.
• Access unbiased benchmarks informed by real transaction data—not supplier estimates
• React faster with weekly resin market drivers and monthly market snapshots that cut through the noise.
• Negotiate with confidence using expert guidance and proven methodologies that deliver measurable savings while securing the supply chain.

"We built ResinSmart for one audience—resin buyers—and we're giving many of them tools they've never had before," said Michael Workman, Director of Growth. "The launch is more than new software; it's a major shift in how buyers can compete in a market that's been stacked against them for too long."

Capping the Launch at MAPP's Benchmarking & Best Practices Conference

To celebrate the launch, ResinSmart will host the ResinSmart Launch Party at Punch Bowl Social during next month's MAPP Benchmarking & Best Practices Conference in Indianapolis—the premier gathering of the very audience ResinSmart was built for: plastic processors and their resin buyers.
