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 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 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 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 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 Standard Recyclate September 2019: Price cuts and rollovers predominate / Expected upturn in demand did not materialise / Attacks in Saudi Arabia could stimulate interest in recyclates / Widespread rollovers expected in October	18.09.2019
POLYMER PRICES Standard Recyclate August 2019: Price reductions for individual grades / Pressure from primary markets / Holiday season dampens demand / Wider range of discounts for rPET / Few changes expected in September	19.08.2019
POLYMER PRICES Standard Recyclate July 2019: Slight discounts on some rLDPE, rPP and rPET grades / Favourable virgin material offers and onset of the holiday season dampen demand / Further discounts expected	18.07.2019
POLYMER PRICES Standard Recyclate June 2019: Prices largely unmodified despite increased purchasing costs / At most pro rata cost transfers / Significant discounts on rPET clear and rPET flakes clear	19.06.2019
POLYMER PRICES Standard Recyclate May 2019: Increasing prices predominate / Only opaque grades and rPET remain in rollover / Demand driven by virgin materials and seasonal effects / Further hikes to also predominate in June	17.05.2019
POLYMER PRICES Standard Recyclate April 2019: Prices predominantly stable / Some grades slightly more expensive / Upcoming holidays dampen demand / Recyclers still aiming to factor in increased costs	17.04.2019
POLYMER PRICES Standard Recyclate March 2019: Prices largely remain at previous month's level / Only small hikes on individual grades / Recyclers aim to catch up on missed price increases	19.03.2019
