18.08.2017
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
