Polymer Prices Recyclate Standard Thermoplastics / Recyclate

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
POLYMER PRICES
Standard Recyclate March 2011: Rises in primary sector hit secondary market in full force / Demand for high quality product strong / Waste availability narrows / Further hikes are likely this month
18.03.2011
POLYMER PRICES
Standard recyclate February 2011: Excessive demand leads to supply battles for secondary material / Recyclers pass on only part of higher costs, but bleeding margins could force their hand going forward
16.02.2011
POLYMER PRICES
Standard recyclate January 2011: Notations still climbing as new year begins / Hikes in primary sector drive the market / Material supply tighter / Fresh wave of costs leads producers to announce hikes
19.01.2011
POLYMER PRICES
Standard recyclate December 2010: Most hikes go through / rHDPE recyclate stable / rPP and rPS corrected upward again / Run on primary polymer trickles down / Producers are seeking fresh increases
17.12.2010
POLYMER PRICES
Standard recyclate November 2010: Planned increases for rLDPE not all realised / rHDPE remains stable, rPP and rPS move up only slightly / Demand mostly continues good / Risk of hikes is still present
18.11.2010
POLYMER PRICES
Standard recyclate October 2010: Upswing for rLDPE / Weakening seen for rHDPE / Other notations firm / Trend toward undersupply / Demand strong on the whole / Continuing risk of hikes
20.10.2010
POLYMER PRICES
Recyclate September 2010: Diverging movements in standard segment / Adequate supply meets normal demand / Trend in primary sector caps polyolefins / For engineering grades, the calm before the storm
20.09.2010
POLYMER PRICES
Recyclate August 2010: Standard grades firm despite crumbling primary notations / Shortage of material drives rPA and rPC up steeply
19.08.2010
POLYMER PRICES
Recyclate July 2010: Some standard grades point sharply upward / Low end of engineering plastics range lifted
20.07.2010
POLYMER PRICES
Standard thermoplastic recyclate remains stable in June / Some prices decrease / Secondary engineering polymers still caught in upward spiral / Polyamide leads the price upswing
21.06.2010
POLYMER PRICES
Recyclate prices continue their upward climb in May / Hikes for almost all products as market remains tight
21.05.2010
POLYMER PRICES
Tightness of primary market spills over into secondary sector / Regrind prices rise for both standard and engineering grades / No relief likely in the short term
