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
22.09.2016
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering Recyclate August 2016: Virgin material surplus rings in landslide in secondary market notations / Polyamides and polycarbonate strongest affected / Despite signs of stabilisation, minor tremors still possible
22.08.2016
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering Recyclate July 2016: Notations unchanged apart from rABS and rPP compounds / Other materials reflect primary market's stability / Few changes expected in August
21.07.2016
POLYMER PRICES
