Polymer Prices Recyclate

POLYMER PRICES
Standard Recyclate March 2017: Prices almost at a standstill despite increased virgin material notations / Noticeable premiums only on rPET and rPS / Recyclers aiming for price increases across the board
20.03.2017
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering Recyclate February 2017: Increases on the primary market begin to impact secondary products / Response with PA and PC/ABS blends / Adequate supply, demand and capacity utilisation / Base material likely to become more expensive in March
20.02.2017
POLYMER PRICES
Standard Recyclate February 2017: Notations broadly trending upwards / Increased virgin material prices make secondary materials more attractive / Further increases expected for March
17.02.2017
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering Recyclate January 2017: Little movement in January / Reasonable ordering activity with availability normal / Price rises likely in February on a broad front / ABS will be affected most
20.01.2017
POLYMER PRICES
Standard Recyclate January 2017: Prices have bottomed out / Higher virgin material prices lead to first increases / Stock build-up has been stopped / New premiums likely in February
19.01.2017
POLYMER PRICES

POLYMER PRICES
Standard Recyclate July 2016: Little movement at onset of holiday season / Solely some slight downward corrections / Availability of production scrap improves / Insiders expect rising pressure from virgin material developments
20.07.2016
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering Recyclate June 2016: Higher feedstock notations have little effect on recyclate prices / Small upward corrections for rABS, rPA 6 and rPC / Market jitters about future indexing of PP
20.06.2016
POLYMER PRICES
Standard Recyclate June 2016: Notations start pointing down / Only rPP and rPS resist the trend / Muted demand results in high inventory levels / Further erosion expected in July
17.06.2016
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering Recyclate May 2016: General uptrend increasingly impacts secondary market / Threat of widespread hikes / Only exception is rPOM
20.05.2016
POLYMER PRICES
Standard Recyclate May 2016: Lower end of the rPE spectrum is lifted / rHIPS notations follow the uptrend in virgin material prices / Remaining grades mostly stable / Further upward drift

POLYMER PRICES
Engineering Recyclate April 2016: Downtrend comes to an end / Initial hikes for rABS, rPC and rPP / Notations likely to continue rising in May / Numerous holidays will impact business activity
20.04.2016
POLYMER PRICES
Standard Recyclate April 2016: Notations make a turnaround / First reaction to rising virgin material prices / Seasonal business picks up / Additional hikes likely
19.04.2016
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering Recyclate March 2016: Only minor price reductions / Feedstocks expected to rise / Upward trend with primary material should stabilise recyclate prices / Early Easter will put a damper on demand
18.03.2016
POLYMER PRICES
