Polymer Prices Recyclate Standard Thermoplastics / Recyclate

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

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
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
