Polymer Prices Recyclate

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

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

19.06.2015
POLYMER PRICES
Standard Recyclate June 2015: Substantial increases for almost all grades / Wave of primary market hikes hits the secondary sector / Upward pressure will persist for the weeks to come
18.06.2015
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering Recyclate May 2015: Mixed picture / rABS, rPC and rPP compounds tend upwards / Minor decreases with rPA / Wave of price hikes gradually impacting base material rates / Upturn likely to continue
21.05.2015
POLYMER PRICES
Standard Recyclate May 2015: Again increases across the board / Primary price hikes begin to affect secondary market / Feedstock scarcer and more costly / Lively demand / Upward pressure on the horizon
20.05.2015
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering Recyclate April 2015: Commodity-related secondary materials show first signs of upward movement / Some production scrap tighter and more expensive / rPA and rPOM stable / Upward pressure remains
20.04.2015
POLYMER PRICES
Standard Recyclate April 2015: Wave of primary price increases crashes into secondary market / Particularly steep rises for high-quality grades / Uptrend expected to continue
