22.12.2016
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering Recyclate November 2016: Notations mostly stable / Uptrend likely / With year-end approaching, demand takes another dip / Abundance of scrap material
21.11.2016
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering Recyclate October 2016: Notations predominantly stable / Individual peaks for rPA and rPOM are capped / Demand below expectations / Little effect felt from producers' calls for hikes on the primary market
21.10.2016
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering Recyclate September 2016: Most prices continue to crumble / Primary market developments put recyclers under pressure / Demand subdued even after end to the holidays
23.09.2016
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
