Polymer Prices Recyclate

Engineering Recyclate February 2018: Prices for all types on the up / Extremely tight supply situation with base material / No relief on the horizon / Significantly longer delivery times

Standard Recyclate February 2018: Prices turning upwards across the board / China boosts rLDPE demand / Updraught in rPET / Uptrend likely continuing into March

Engineering Recyclate January 2018: Rollovers predominate in December / Hikes probably only as of February / Base material scarce and expensive in part / Order situation still good

Standard Recyclate January 2018: Prices mainly trending sideways / Low premiums only on rPET / Increasing demand for rLDPE from China / Weak upward potential in February

Engineering Recyclate December 2017: Only a few minor increases / Strong demand for regrind material expected in new year / Availability of base material likely to deteriorate

Standard Recyclate December 2017: Downward momentum of previous months is flattening / Significant reductions only on rLDPE and rPS / Prospect of accumulation of inventories strengthens recyclers' positions

Engineering Recyclate November 2017: Prices remain unchanged apart from ABS / Tense situation with base material / Strong demand for time of year / Stability should prevail until end of 2017 / Small increases likely in January for some products

Standard Recyclate November 2017: Prices generally declining slightly or stagnating / Premiums only on clear rPET flakes / Further reductions or rollovers expected in December

Engineering Recyclate October 2017: Prices move in different directions / Uptrend for rABS, rPOM, rPP and rPC/ABS blends / Some decreases for rPA 6 / Demand reasonable / Base material remains expensive

Standard Recyclate October 2017: Hardly any price movements / Rollovers dominating / Slight premiums for clear rPET only / Prices likely to remain broadly stable in November

Engineering Recyclate September 2017: Recycled ABS and PP compounds up slightly / Demand grows after holiday season / Few supply restrictions / Base material remains expensive

Standard Recyclate September 2017: Minor price movements / rPET gains a bit / Slight discounts on rLDPE / Demand is growing / Rising virgin prices will bring an upturn in October

Engineering Recyclate August 2017: Prices rollover in all cases / Base material remains expensive / Situation eased by fall in demand / Minor reductions likely for rPA and rPOM in September / Secondary PP compounds tending upwards

Standard Recyclate August 2017: Holiday period dampens demand / Deductions on rLDPE and rPS / rPP mostly stable / Premiums on clear rPET grades / Only moderate change expected in September

Engineering Recyclate July 2017: Prices calm down as the holiday season gets underway / Stability predominates / Only rPOM rises again / Next few weeks likely quiet

Standard Recyclate July 2017: Pressure from primary markets drops / Number of downward corrections slumps / rPET continues upswing / Summer lull has begun / August to be a quiet month

Engineering Recyclate June 2017: PC and POM regrind material partly see marked increases / Lively demand from all segments / Rollover probable in July with the exception of polyamides

Standard Recyclate June 2017: Notations mostly moving horizontally / Pressure on rLDPE prices limited to pure grades / Slight premiums on rPET / No important movements expected for July

Engineering Recyclate May 2017: Most prices tend sideways / June expected to see only little price movement as adjustments on the primary market trickle through / Ongoing strong demand likely to ease

Standard Recyclate May 2017: Heterogeneous notations / rLDPE still under pressure / Rollover for rPP / rPET increasing / Continued good supply in most cases / Positive stimuli only for consumer applications

Engineering Recyclate April 2017: Recent price increases across the entire portfolio / Boom in demand / Availability of production scrap considerably tighter in some cases / Demand only minimally slowed by holiday period

Standard Recyclate April 2017: Oversupply provokes slight erosion of rPE prices / rPP and rPS mostly stable / Seasonal effects supporting rPET / Diverging trends will continue in April

Engineering Recyclate March 2017: Massive price increases / Peak still not reached / Lively demand results in the first bottlenecks / Recycling companies near to their capacity limits

Standard Recyclate March 2017: Prices almost at a standstill despite increased virgin material notations / Noticeable premiums only on rPET and rPS / Recyclers aiming for price increases across the board

Engineering Recyclate February 2017: Increases on the primary market begin to impact secondary products / Response with PA and PC/ABS blends / Adequate supply, demand and capacity utilisation / Base material likely to become more expensive in March
