POLYMER PRICES Standard recyclate February 2012: Upward momentum across the board / Primary market price surge pulls secondary sector out of the dregs / Rapid draw-down of inventories / Fresh hikes a strong possibility	17.02.2012
POLYMER PRICES Standard recyclate January 2012: Firming primary market ends secondary price slide / Rollover for rPP and weak rollover for rPE / Early gains for PS / Output normal despite building off-season / Increasing risk of hikes	18.01.2012
POLYMER PRICES Standard Recyclate December 2011: Prices slide again despite weak rollover for primary material and run on recyclate / Short month and high output limit stock-building efforts / Rollover likely despite high costs	16.12.2011
POLYMER PRICES Standard Recyclate November 2011: Downswing trend in primary market pressures rLDPE, rPP / Weak rollover for rHDPE and rHIPS / Building absorbs large output / High costs / Rollover mostly sought	18.11.2011
POLYMER PRICES Standard Recyclate October 2011: Primary market corrections have little impact / rLLDPE mostly flat / rPP and rPS shaky / Input material tight and expensive / Stability likely despite waning building season	19.10.2011
POLYMER PRICES Standard Recyclate September 2011: Notations mostly roll over / Gains for opaque rPE and rPS / Occasional concessions for rPE and rPP / Base material tight / Building market may continue to drive	19.09.2011
POLYMER PRICES Standard Recyclate August 2011: Notations mostly stable / Minor declines seen for film recyclate at the upper end of the range / Procurement costs still high / Market's direction at the moment still unclear	19.08.2011
POLYMER PRICES Standard Recyclate July 2011: Secondary market unfazed by lower primary prices / Gains for rHDPE / Plastics waste still costly / Building industry dominates buying / Higher feedstocks end virgin price slide	19.07.2011
POLYMER PRICES Standard Recyclate June 2011: Secondary market not yet hit by monomer-related slide / Stable with firming trend / Most buyers on allocation / Building demand nears peak / Producers still seeking hikes	17.06.2011
POLYMER PRICES Standard Recyclate May 2011: Recyclers pass costs through despite primary market at zenith / rHIPS moves sideways on virgin weakness / rPE partly on allocation / Demand drives / Continued risk of hikes	19.05.2011
POLYMER PRICES Standard Recyclate April 2011: Price hikes dominate the scene despite easing of primary market / Many polyolefins rise significantly / Only rPS stable / Scarcity of plastic scrap drives notations further up	19.04.2011
