Polymer Prices Recyclate

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
Engineering Recyclate December 2016: Secondary materials unchanged at year's end / Demand significantly weaker / Flood of orders for Q1 / Price hikes likely for some grades in new year
22.12.2016
POLYMER PRICES
Standard Recyclate December 2016: Notations still trending down / Only rPET rolls over / Poor demand / Bottom could soon be reached / Virgin market developments have stabilising effect
21.12.2016
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering Recyclate November 2016: Notations mostly stable / Uptrend likely / With year-end approaching, demand takes another dip / Abundance of scrap material
21.11.2016
POLYMER PRICES
Standard Recyclate November 2016: Notations still under pressure / Oversupply results in slight erosion / Demand remains comparatively weak / Additional declines likely
18.11.2016
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering Recyclate October 2016: Notations predominantly stable / Individual peaks for rPA and rPOM are capped / Demand below expectations / Little effect felt from producers' calls for hikes on the primary market
21.10.2016

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
Standard Recyclate March 2016: Prices still going down a bit / Slight aftershock of recent discounts on virgin materials / Stabilisation expected / Recyclers consider increases in the near future
17.03.2016
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering Recyclate February 2016: Declines become more widespread / Cheaper virgin material increasingly pressures regrind / Primary market slide expected to bottom out
18.02.2016
POLYMER PRICES
Standard Recyclate February 2016: Downtrend affects all grades / Greater declines for purer grades / Demand normal for the season / Prices likely to have bottomed out
17.02.2016
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering Recyclate January 2016: Virgin material declines ring in slight fall for most regrind grades / Only rABS and rPOM hold stable / Top-up effect drives demand / Notations expected to bottom out
20.01.2016
POLYMER PRICES
Standard Recyclate January 2016: Declines across the entire rLDPE spectrum / Other regrind materials mostly stable / Demand surprisingly lively / Primary market sends mixed signals for the weeks to come
