19.05.2020
POLYMER PRICES
Standard recyclate May 2020: Downtrend continues / Competition from cheaper virgin materials / Covid-19-related slump in demand / Margins are eroding / Further decreases expected in June
18.05.2020
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering recyclate April 2020: Most recycled material suppliers take prices over into April / Processing comes to a standstill and restricts plastics scrap availability / Price cuts probable
20.04.2020
POLYMER PRICES
Standard recyclate April 2020: Coronavirus shakes up market / Dwindling demand, cutbacks and short-time working / Crash in virgin material prices pressures rPE and rPP / Lasting damage expected
