20.08.2015
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering Recyclate July 2015: Most grades trend sideways / Availability of production scrap largely suffices to meet demand / rPC and rPP compounds the sole exceptions / rABS prices could erode in August
22.07.2015
POLYMER PRICES
Standard Recyclate July 2015: Prices turn around / Most notations roll over / Slight increases only for rHDPE and rPET flakes / First erosions for rPS and rPET / Downtrend likely in August
