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
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 December 2018: Slight price changes, if any / Modest discounts only for rLDPE and rPP / Restrained demand ahead of holiday shutdowns / No significant movements foreseeable	19.12.2018
POLYMER PRICES Standard Recyclate November 2018: Most recyclate prices soften slightly after decline of virgin material notations / Recycled LDPE stable / Only clear rPET grades firm slightly / Increasing pressure expected	20.11.2018
POLYMER PRICES Standard Recyclate October 2018: Largely stable market / Clear hikes only with clear rPET / Pressure on opaque grades of rLDPE / Seasonal lively demand / Fall in demand expected in November	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
