POLYMER PRICES Standard recyclate June 2021: High purchase costs and strong demand fuel new record highs / Upward momentum clearly weakens in July / Plateau emerging	16.06.2021
POLYMER PRICES Standard recyclate May 2021: Prices continue strong rise / Serious virgin material bottlenecks boost all recyclate prices / Market environment offers scope for further premiums	17.05.2021
POLYMER PRICES Standard recyclate April 2021: Strong premiums on all grades / Scarcity of feedstocks fuels demand for recyclates / Further price increases in May likely	19.04.2021
POLYMER PRICES Standard recyclate March 2021: Prices trending higher / Significant premiums after increases in virgin material prices / Demand picks up noticeably / Recyclers planning further increases	17.03.2021
POLYMER PRICES Standard recyclate February 2021: Prices continue to rise across the board / Support from poorly available and more expensive virgin materials / Demand growing / Recyclers announce further premiums	15.02.2021
POLYMER PRICES Standard recyclate January 2021: Prices mostly on the upswing / Tailwind from increasing virgin material prices and growing demand / Recyclers aim for further price increases in February	18.01.2021
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 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	17.11.2020
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
