POLYMER PRICES Engineering recyclate August 2020: Slump in demand in the holiday month kills off plans to hike prices / Order books slowly filling again / Recyclers hope for topping-up effects in September	19.08.2020
POLYMER PRICES Engineering recyclate July 2020: Further price cuts with polyamide 6 and polyamide 6.6 GF / Notations otherwise stable / Demand continues weak / Regrinders to aim for small price hikes in August	21.07.2020
POLYMER PRICES Engineering recyclate June 2020: Prices recover after last month's crash / Occasional reductions for automotive grades / Regrinders look to reduce high purchasing costs	18.06.2020
POLYMER PRICES Engineering recyclate May 2020: Reductions of as much as EUR 300/t / Large-scale cancelling of orders / Most recycling line production cut back or shut down	19.05.2020
POLYMER PRICES Engineering recyclate April 2020: Most recycled material suppliers take prices over into April / Processing comes to a standstill and restricts plastics scrap availability / Price cuts probable	20.04.2020
POLYMER PRICES Engineering recyclate March 2020: Reductions only for recycled polyamide 6.6 GF and polycarbonate / Supply plentiful / Wide-ranging price cuts expected in April / Fall in virgin material prices and coronavirus-related slump in demand	19.03.2020
POLYMER PRICES Engineering Recyclate February 2020: Recycled ABS, PA and PC see a few price cuts / Weak demand slows business considerably / Coronavirus delays mould supplies from China	19.02.2020
POLYMER PRICES Engineering Recyclate January 2020: Poor demand leads to rollovers everywhere / Prices may have bottomed out in many cases / PA 6.6 recyclate unlikely to escape reductions	21.01.2020
POLYMER PRICES Engineering Recyclate December 2019: Prices down for nearly all regrind types / Significantly weaker demand at year-end / Nevertheless surprisingly strong order-book situation for January and February	19.12.2019
POLYMER PRICES Engineering Recyclate November 2019: Notations unchanged with an uninspiring month / Demand picks up only slightly / Pressure from primary sector continues	20.11.2019
POLYMER PRICES Engineering Recyclate October 2019: Prices roll over / Demand very weak for the time of year / Many recyclate producers have their backs to the wall / Gap between primary and secondary PA is too small	18.10.2019
POLYMER PRICES Engineering Recyclate September 2019: First price cuts in mid-month / Order activity expected to remain slow in October / Price cuts likely to spread	19.09.2019
POLYMER PRICES Engineering Recyclate August 2019: Only a few minor price reductions / Rollover predicted across the board in September	20.08.2019
