18.10.2018
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
