Polymer Prices Recyclate Engineering Thermoplastics / Recyclate

POLYMER PRICES
Engineering Recyclate March 2018: Respite for price rises / rPA 6.6 and rPOM nevertheless on the up / rABS and rPA 6 rather quiet / rPC awaits next surge
19.03.2018
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering Recyclate February 2018: Prices for all types on the up / Extremely tight supply situation with base material / No relief on the horizon / Significantly longer delivery times
19.02.2018
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering Recyclate January 2018: Rollovers predominate in December / Hikes probably only as of February / Base material scarce and expensive in part / Order situation still good
19.01.2018
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering Recyclate December 2017: Only a few minor increases / Strong demand for regrind material expected in new year / Availability of base material likely to deteriorate
21.12.2017
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering Recyclate November 2017: Prices remain unchanged apart from ABS / Tense situation with base material / Strong demand for time of year / Stability should prevail until end of 2017 / Small increases likely in January for some products

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

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
Engineering Recyclate June 2016: Higher feedstock notations have little effect on recyclate prices / Small upward corrections for rABS, rPA 6 and rPC / Market jitters about future indexing of PP
20.06.2016
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering Recyclate May 2016: General uptrend increasingly impacts secondary market / Threat of widespread hikes / Only exception is rPOM
