20.09.2012
POLYMER PRICES
Standard Recyclate September 2012: rPE and rPP prices rising / Expensive primary polymers drive demand for neat regrind / More expensive base material costs / Pressure on margins brings risk of increase
19.09.2012
POLYMER PRICES

20.07.2012
POLYMER PRICES
Standard Recyclate July 2012: Bottoming out of primary notations curbs secondary sector rebates / rPS still in stable sideways mode / Renewed petrochemical price rally has recyclers ready to pounce
19.07.2012
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering Recyclate June 2012: All grades roll over / Most plastic scrap easily available / rABS and rPP compounds tight / Approaching summer break could dampen demand / Slight risk of hikes for rPC
