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
17.04.2020
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering recyclate March 2020: Reductions only for recycled polyamide 6.6 GF and polycarbonate / Supply plentiful / Wide-ranging price cuts expected in April / Fall in virgin material prices and coronavirus-related slump in demand
19.03.2020
POLYMER PRICES
Standard recyclate March 2020: Recycled polyolefins yield noticeably / PET supply situation precarious / Demand picks up only slowly / Discounts predominate in March
18.03.2020
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering Recyclate February 2020: Recycled ABS, PA and PC see a few price cuts / Weak demand slows business considerably / Coronavirus delays mould supplies from China
19.02.2020
POLYMER PRICES
Standard Recyclate February 2020: Notations largely stable / Only a short breather / Further price erosion likely / Slightly higher demand generally not meeting expectations
18.02.2020
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering Recyclate January 2020: Poor demand leads to rollovers everywhere / Prices may have bottomed out in many cases / PA 6.6 recyclate unlikely to escape reductions
21.01.2020
POLYMER PRICES
Standard Recyclate January 2020: Downtrend in prices continues / Only rPP and rPS remain stable / Pressure from virgin materials / Demand to pick up in February / Widely stabilising prices expected
20.01.2020
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering Recyclate December 2019: Prices down for nearly all regrind types / Significantly weaker demand at year-end / Nevertheless surprisingly strong order-book situation for January and February
19.12.2019
POLYMER PRICES
Standard Recyclate December 2019: Sliding virgin material prices depress prices for pure grades / Oversupply for almost all grades / Demand ebbs at the end of the year / Hardly any change in January
18.12.2019
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering Recyclate November 2019: Notations unchanged with an uninspiring month / Demand picks up only slightly / Pressure from primary sector continues
20.11.2019
POLYMER PRICES
Standard Recyclate November 2019: Price erosion continues / Reductions granted across the board / Only rPET clearly rolls over / Demand remains weak / Further decreases expected before end of year
19.11.2019
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering Recyclate October 2019: Prices roll over / Demand very weak for the time of year / Many recyclate producers have their backs to the wall / Gap between primary and secondary PA is too small
