POLYMER PRICES
Engineering recyclate December 2020: Occasional increases filter through to recyclate material / Further movement expected in January / Supply of base material sometimes inadequate / Bottlenecks on primary markets
18.12.2020
POLYMER PRICES
Standard recyclate December 2020: Prices mostly unchanged / Still no effects from increased virgin-material prices / Notable premiums only for rPET / Recyclers aim for price increases in the New Year
17.12.2020
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering recyclate November 2020: Prices of reinforced types rise due to bottleneck with short glass fibres / Automotive demand much livelier / Across-the-board increases for secondary material unlikely before January
18.11.2020
POLYMER PRICES
Standard recyclate November 2020: Prices trending horizontally / Only rPET continues downward trend / Increased demand for rPE and rPP / No major movements expected for rest of year

20.10.2020
POLYMER PRICES
Standard recyclate October 2020: Discounts on rLDPE and rPET / Other grades remain stable / Demand still mostly subdued / Price pressure in the weeks to come most likely for rHDPE pipes and rPET
19.10.2020
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering recyclate September 2020: Supply and demand equally low / Low-priced new material continues to exert pressure / Minor impetus from reduction in value-added tax
