Polymer Prices Recyclate

POLYMER PRICES
Engineering recyclate April: Demand hobbles along like a wounded animal / Prices surprisingly stable
17.04.2025
POLYMER PRICES
Standard recyclate April: Demand increases slightly but no sign of a turnaround / Recyclers still under strong cost pressure / Small boom in PET market
16.04.2025
POLAND
Economic crisis takes toll on plastics recycling / Recyclate prices absurdly low / Industry braced for uncertainty
26.03.2025
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering recyclate March: Downward trend provisionally halted / Demand still weak / Plastics Recycling Show (PRSE) in Amsterdam could provide stimulus
19.03.2025
POLYMER PRICES
Standard recyclate March: Prices trending up / Supply, demand largely unchanged / Will the PRSE trade fair bring a turnaround?
18.03.2025
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering recyclate February: Market sees very little activity / Demand remains weak / Spring recovery not expected before second quarter
17.02.2025
POLYMER PRICES
Standard recyclate February: Rollover, slight premiums characterise pricing landscape / Seasonal effects expected to increase demand

PLASTICS RECYCLING NETHERLANDS
Pressure on Dutch firms continues / Local market reflects problems in Europe / “Market is flooded with virgin plastics from China”
20.01.2025
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering recyclate January: December's ordering boom comes to an end / Compounders resume production gradually / Polypropylene trends differently from the rest
17.01.2025
POLYMER PRICES
Standard recyclate January: Prices mostly roll over again / Demand remains weak / Imports further distort market
16.01.2025
YEAR-ENDER: POLYMER PRICES
Cheaper materials from Asia pressure European manufacturers / PU, PET under special focus / Trump policies could raise European production costs / “If construction doesn't take off by March, the year is over.”
17.12.2024
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering recyclate December: Recyclers, converters in year-end mode / Maintenance work starts early / Glimmer of hope for January
16.12.2024
POLYMER PRICES
Standard recyclate December: High stocks paired with low volume calls / Extended plant holidays at many companies / No improvement expected in January
13.12.2024
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering recyclate November: Price slump slows down / Converters nevertheless call for reductions / No recovery expected in December
18.11.2024
POLYMER PRICES
Standard recyclate November: Weak demand puts further pressure on prices / Processors reduce stocks before year-end
15.11.2024
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering recyclate October: No breather for recyclers at start of new quarter / Demand remains main problem
21.10.2024
POLYMER PRICES
Standard recyclate October: Year drags to a close / Weak demand, declining prices / Inventory reduction dominates
18.10.2024
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering recyclate September: Very weak demand despite price concessions / Recyclers' stocks fill up / No prospect of improvement yet
17.09.2024
POLYMER PRICES
Standard recyclate September: Prices remain mostly stable / Sluggish demand despite end of holidays / Little change likely in October
16.09.2024
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering recyclate August 2024: Prices crumble on weak demand / Recyclers' stock levels rise again / Somewhat better order book situation for converters expected in September
19.08.2024
POLYMER PRICES
Standard recyclate August 2024: Market takes a summer break / Prices mostly rollover amid weak demand / More buoyancy expected in September
16.08.2024
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering recyclate July 2024: Sales of all types at rock bottom / For most recyclers, price stability remains main issue
18.07.2024
POLYMER PRICES
Standard recyclate July 2024: Summer, summer, summer – high stock levels and next to no demand / Everyone on the lookout for sales / Hopes pinned on September
17.07.2024
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering recyclate June 2024: Prices undergo only very small upward corrections / No marked changes in either supply or demand / Stability expected in July
17.06.2024
POLYMER PRICES
Standard recyclate June 2024: Declining prices for almost all materials / No positive stimuli ahead of summer slump
