Polymer Prices Recyclate Standard Thermoplastics / Recyclate

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
POLYMER PRICES Standard Recyclate February 2019: Prices of rLDPE and rPS soften in the wake of falling virgin material notations / Brisk demand continues due to tightening recyclate policies	19.02.2019
POLYMER PRICES Standard Recyclate January 2019: Prices remain stable despite falling virgin material prices / Recycled PET trending up / Demand fuelled by policies to increase recyclate usage in products	18.01.2019

POLYMER PRICES Standard Recyclate September 2018: Mixed trends / Slight oversupply exerts pressure on rPP homo and rLDPE prices / Significant hikes on clear rPET / Upward potential for a few polymers in October	20.09.2018
POLYMER PRICES Standard Recyclate August 2018: Almost all prices stagnate at previous month's level / Holiday period paralyses demand / Regular demand only for rPET / Upward potential for rHDPE and rPP	20.08.2018
POLYMER PRICES Standard Recyclate July 2018: Prices broadly trending upwards / Rising interest in recyclate usage drives demand / Recycled PET continues to soar / Holiday season to dampen demand in August	18.07.2018
POLYMER PRICES Standard Recyclate June 2018: Prices largely sideways / Hikes only for rPET and rHDPE blow moulding grades / Demand up slightly / Costlier virgin material will drive rPP	19.06.2018
POLYMER PRICES Standard Recyclate May 2018: Widespread price increases despite shortened production weeks / Export demand and high waste costs fuel upswing of film grades, rHDPE pipes and rPET / Further hikes likely in June	17.05.2018
POLYMER PRICES Standard Recyclate April 2018: Demand from China leads to first bottlenecks / rLDPE and rHDPE films much stronger / Recycled PET increases / Spring upswing and Chinese exports drive prices in May	19.04.2018
POLYMER PRICES Standard Recyclate March 2018: Stable to solidifying market environment / Recycled LDPE film grades sole exception / Demand from China and seasonal effects provide room for hikes	16.03.2018
POLYMER PRICES Standard Recyclate February 2018: Prices turning upwards across the board / China boosts rLDPE demand / Updraught in rPET / Uptrend likely continuing into March	16.02.2018
POLYMER PRICES Standard Recyclate January 2018: Prices mainly trending sideways / Low premiums only on rPET / Increasing demand for rLDPE from China / Weak upward potential in February	18.01.2018
POLYMER PRICES 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	20.12.2017
POLYMER PRICES Standard Recyclate November 2017: Prices generally declining slightly or stagnating / Premiums only on clear rPET flakes / Further reductions or rollovers expected in December	17.11.2017
POLYMER PRICES Standard Recyclate October 2017: Hardly any price movements / Rollovers dominating / Slight premiums for clear rPET only / Prices likely to remain broadly stable in November	17.10.2017
POLYMER PRICES 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	20.09.2017
POLYMER PRICES 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	18.08.2017
