POLYMER PRICES Standard Recyclate September 2016: Notations decline slightly across the board / rPP and rPS resist downtrend / Demand at times below expectations / Stability expected in October	22.09.2016
POLYMER PRICES Standard Recyclate August 2016: Falling primary prices take notations down / Demand dampened by summer holidays / Stabilisation appears to set in / Cost of some secondary materials likely to rise again	19.08.2016
POLYMER PRICES Standard Recyclate July 2016: Little movement at onset of holiday season / Solely some slight downward corrections / Availability of production scrap improves / Insiders expect rising pressure from virgin material developments	20.07.2016
POLYMER PRICES Standard Recyclate June 2016: Notations start pointing down / Only rPP and rPS resist the trend / Muted demand results in high inventory levels / Further erosion expected in July	17.06.2016
POLYMER PRICES Standard Recyclate May 2016: Lower end of the rPE spectrum is lifted / rHIPS notations follow the uptrend in virgin material prices / Remaining grades mostly stable / Further upward drift	19.05.2016
POLYMER PRICES Standard Recyclate April 2016: Notations make a turnaround / First reaction to rising virgin material prices / Seasonal business picks up / Additional hikes likely	19.04.2016
POLYMER PRICES Standard Recyclate March 2016: Prices still going down a bit / Slight aftershock of recent discounts on virgin materials / Stabilisation expected / Recyclers consider increases in the near future	17.03.2016
POLYMER PRICES Standard Recyclate February 2016: Downtrend affects all grades / Greater declines for purer grades / Demand normal for the season / Prices likely to have bottomed out	17.02.2016
