Polymer Prices Recyclate Engineering Thermoplastics / Recyclate

POLYMER PRICES
Engineering recyclate November 2021: Converters force rollover for all types / Calm prices expected well into January / Vicious cycle of low processing rate and lack of base material
18.11.2021
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering recyclate October 2021: Slowdown effect as year winds down / Prices rise for reinforced, flame-retardant grades / Demand to mostly remain high as supply often very short
19.10.2021
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering recyclate September 2021: Increases for ABS, PC, POM / Additional bottleneck for reinforced types / Signs of demand easing / Upward price trend gradually flattening
20.09.2021
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering recyclate August 2021: Recyclate seen as new supply backbone / Prices of most types continue to rise / Shortage of glass fibres provides for additional increase / Further price hike on the cards
19.08.2021
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering recyclate July 2021: Unabated high demand drives prices / Aggregates also in short supply / Processors' summer break cancelled this year / Further premiums likely
20.07.2021
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering recyclate June 2021: Prices continue to climb amid strong demand / Recyclers search desperately for substitute sources of base material / Holiday period will ease the pressure only slightly
17.06.2021
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering recyclate May 2021: Further massive increases dominate the picture / Base material seldom available / Strong demand from all areas / Converters becoming increasingly thin-skinned
18.05.2021
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering recyclate April 2021: Price spiral rises even faster / May will be the worst month so far
20.04.2021
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering recyclate March 2021: Notations increase significantly / Polymers, additives and reinforcing materials contribute to price rise / Further hikes expected in April
18.03.2021
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering recyclate February 2021: Major increases predominate / Base material mostly tight and expensive / Higher prices expected in March 2021 as well / No easing of the situation with PA 6.6 recyclate
16.02.2021
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering recyclates January 2021: Considerable hikes across the board / Tight primary markets creating a shortage of base materials / Good demand expected to result in considerable price hikes
19.01.2021
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering recyclate December 2020: Occasional increases filter through to recyclate material / Further movement expected in January / Supply of base material sometimes inadequate / Bottlenecks on primary markets
18.12.2020
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering recyclate November 2020: Prices of reinforced types rise due to bottleneck with short glass fibres / Automotive demand much livelier / Across-the-board increases for secondary material unlikely before January
18.11.2020
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering recyclate October 2020: Prices stay put in October / First signs of a possible move to lift prices for some polycarbonate and polyamide materials / Demand mostly modest
20.10.2020
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering recyclate September 2020: Supply and demand equally low / Low-priced new material continues to exert pressure / Minor impetus from reduction in value-added tax
18.09.2020
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
