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
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 Standard recyclate August 2020: Premiums on primary materials take some pressure off secondary materials / Optimism for autumn predominates / Lack of imports could provide a boost	18.08.2020
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	20.07.2020
POLYMER PRICES Standard recyclate June 2020: Recycled LDPE and rPP prices roll over / Further decreases with rHDPE and rPET / Demand remains weak / No upswing expected in the near future	17.06.2020
POLYMER PRICES Standard recyclate May 2020: Downtrend continues / Competition from cheaper virgin materials / Covid-19-related slump in demand / Margins are eroding / Further decreases expected in June	18.05.2020
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 Standard recyclate March 2020: Recycled polyolefins yield noticeably / PET supply situation precarious / Demand picks up only slowly / Discounts predominate in March	18.03.2020
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 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
