17.11.2021
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering recyclate October 2021: Slowdown effect as year winds down / Prices rise for reinforced, flame-retardant grades / Demand to mostly remain high as supply often very short

20.09.2021
POLYMER PRICES
Standard recyclate September 2021: Only rPP and rPET increase significantly / For rPE costs passed on at best / Lively demand due to sustainability projects / Price momentum continues to weaken in October
17.09.2021
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering recyclate August 2021: Recyclate seen as new supply backbone / Prices of most types continue to rise / Shortage of glass fibres provides for additional increase / Further price hike on the cards
19.08.2021
POLYMER PRICES
Standard recyclate August 2021: Market remains inconsistent / Recyclers worried about scarce input materials / Sustainability projects and a fourth wave could intensify price upswing
18.08.2021
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering recyclate July 2021: Unabated high demand drives prices / Aggregates also in short supply / Processors' summer break cancelled this year / Further premiums likely
20.07.2021
POLYMER PRICES
Standard recyclate July 2021: Upward momentum cools significantly / Several grades peak / Only rPET rises again / August prices likely to increase slightly or remain stable
19.07.2021
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering recyclate June 2021: Prices continue to climb amid strong demand / Recyclers search desperately for substitute sources of base material / Holiday period will ease the pressure only slightly
17.06.2021
POLYMER PRICES
Standard recyclate June 2021: High purchase costs and strong demand fuel new record highs / Upward momentum clearly weakens in July / Plateau emerging
16.06.2021
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering recyclate May 2021: Further massive increases dominate the picture / Base material seldom available / Strong demand from all areas / Converters becoming increasingly thin-skinned
