Explanation:
Commodity - massaproduct, standaard(product) (= gemeengoed geworden)
Branded - merkproduct (iets beters kan ik er niet van maken)
Product met specifieke kwaliteiten (fysieke of niet niet-fysieke) - bijvoorbeeld (denkend aan plastic) toegepast in specifieke produkten die die kwaliteiten nodig hebben (bijv. hardheid, buigzaamheid, duurzaamheid)

... The price of any product in an open market system has a direct relationship to the cost of raw materials and the energy required to convert it to a useful product.
While many natural materials can fill niche markets, the commodity plastics polyethylene, polypropylene and polystyrene are the materials that dominate the mass market. The one attribute of current commodity plastics that is causing environmental challenges of significant proportion is that they are bioinert. They persist for a long time in the environment after they are used and discarded

Ja, ik zou gaan voor basisproduct o.i.d., op basis van onderstaand verhaal:

Thermoplastic and thermoset resins are further categorized according to the volume produced and the market demand for the resin.
The categories and the uses of the resins are listed below.
Commodity resins - These resins are produced in large quantities and are used as the raw materials for many plastic products.
These resins are labeled as commodities because they are commonly used and are not refined or differentiated by the resin manufacturers. Commodity resins, such as LDPE, PVC, and HDPE, are the least expensive resins to produce (EPA, 1990a).
Transitional resins - These resins are produced less frequently than commodity resins but more frequently than engineering/performance resins (discussed below).
Transitional resins, such as PP, ABS, and acrylics, are also more expensive to purchase than commodity resins (EPA, 1990a).
Engineering/performance resins - These resins have narrowly defined applications and are produced by only a few companies.
Engineering/performance resins, such as polycarbonate and nylon, are the most expensive resins to produce (EPA, 1990a).

Commodity grade synthetic resins are widely used in making petrochemical plastics.
The four major commodity grade resins are polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride and polystyrene.
They are used in food packaging film, supermarket plastic bags, automobile bumpers, office information equipment, home appliances, agricultural materials, water pipes and other products.
