Polymer Prices Recyclate

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
18.09.2020
POLYMER PRICES
Standard recyclate September 2020: Most prices move sideways / Only occasional slight discounts / Demand often below expectations / Prices remain largely stable in the coming weeks
17.09.2020
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering recyclate August 2020: Slump in demand in the holiday month kills off plans to hike prices / Order books slowly filling again / Recyclers hope for topping-up effects in September
19.08.2020
POLYMER PRICES

18.08.2020
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering recyclate July 2020: Further price cuts with polyamide 6 and polyamide 6.6 GF / Notations otherwise stable / Demand continues weak / Regrinders to aim for small price hikes in August
21.07.2020
POLYMER PRICES
Standard recyclate July 2020: Prices stabilise further / Decreases only with rPET and rHDPE blow moulding grades / Demand improves slightly / Holiday season to dampen demand in August

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

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
18.10.2019
POLYMER PRICES
Standard Recyclate October 2019: Prices still under pressure / Rollover only for rPP and rPS / Demand remains weak / Recyclers reduce output / Measures for more price stability in November
17.10.2019
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering Recyclate September 2019: First price cuts in mid-month / Order activity expected to remain slow in October / Price cuts likely to spread
