To reduce costs said very general , we need more information about production for example : number of workers, machine, production quantity per day, etc. For the first you should check whole process one by one, observe workers

All costs of manufacturing process are capitalized to inventory on a systematic basis based on normal capacity.  

Acceptable methods of allocation of costs of manufacturing costs are absorption costing and Activity Based Costing.

Activity based costing is a method which best allocates fixed overhead based on actual production activity levels.   May be low volume product, but utilizes high labour or machinery set ups and costs., so must be allocated with the commensurate fixed overhead costs.

ABC also identifies less cost efficient products that perhaps should be considered for "discontinued line / product".

Reducing the cost of the plastic means compromising on the quality. the best way to reduce overall  cost would be sourcing in the right quantity at the right time and from the right place. This will reduce wastage's. ABC is a good method to control quantity and cost. Try to reduce the lead time this will give you more opportunity to be in the market and eventually you will have more capital to innovate. Hence you will have more power to negotiate  with the suppliers.
