POLYMER PRICES Standard Recyclate July 2017: Pressure from primary markets drops / Number of downward corrections slumps / rPET continues upswing / Summer lull has begun / August to be a quiet month	20.07.2017
POLYMER PRICES Standard Recyclate June 2017: Notations mostly moving horizontally / Pressure on rLDPE prices limited to pure grades / Slight premiums on rPET / No important movements expected for July	22.06.2017
POLYMER PRICES Standard Recyclate May 2017: Heterogeneous notations / rLDPE still under pressure / Rollover for rPP / rPET increasing / Continued good supply in most cases / Positive stimuli only for consumer applications	19.05.2017
POLYMER PRICES Standard Recyclate April 2017: Oversupply provokes slight erosion of rPE prices / rPP and rPS mostly stable / Seasonal effects supporting rPET / Diverging trends will continue in April	21.04.2017
POLYMER PRICES Standard Recyclate March 2017: Prices almost at a standstill despite increased virgin material notations / Noticeable premiums only on rPET and rPS / Recyclers aiming for price increases across the board	20.03.2017
POLYMER PRICES Standard Recyclate February 2017: Notations broadly trending upwards / Increased virgin material prices make secondary materials more attractive / Further increases expected for March	17.02.2017
POLYMER PRICES Standard Recyclate January 2017: Prices have bottomed out / Higher virgin material prices lead to first increases / Stock build-up has been stopped / New premiums likely in February	19.01.2017
POLYMER PRICES Standard Recyclate December 2016: Notations still trending down / Only rPET rolls over / Poor demand / Bottom could soon be reached / Virgin market developments have stabilising effect	21.12.2016
POLYMER PRICES Standard Recyclate November 2016: Notations still under pressure / Oversupply results in slight erosion / Demand remains comparatively weak / Additional declines likely	18.11.2016
POLYMER PRICES Standard Recyclate October 2016: Notations are under pressure / Largest rebates for rPS and rLDPE / Demand rather weak / Amid lack of any stimuli, no trend reversal in sight	20.10.2016
POLYMER PRICES Standard Recyclate September 2016: Notations decline slightly across the board / rPP and rPS resist downtrend / Demand at times below expectations / Stability expected in October	22.09.2016
POLYMER PRICES Standard Recyclate August 2016: Falling primary prices take notations down / Demand dampened by summer holidays / Stabilisation appears to set in / Cost of some secondary materials likely to rise again	19.08.2016
