POLYMER PRICES
Standard recyclate June 2022: The recycling market knows no fear of recession – but for how long? / Low imports, high demand fuel price increases / Seasonal relaxation expected for July
17.06.2022
POLYMER PRICES
Standard recyclate May 2022: Higher prices for all grades / Mostly good demand driven by weak availability of virgin material / June set to bring more cost transfers, partly with margin additions
17.05.2022
POLYMER PRICES
Standard recyclate April 2022: Material bottlenecks, high virgin material prices drive up recyclate prices / Quantities are often only sufficient for regular customers / Further inflation in May as demand grows
