20.07.2012
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering Recyclate June 2012: All grades roll over / Most plastic scrap easily available / rABS and rPP compounds tight / Approaching summer break could dampen demand / Slight risk of hikes for rPC
21.06.2012
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering recyclate May 2012: rPA 6 and rPC prices rise despite slack bank holiday business / Other grades roll over / Plastic scrap still expensive but more readily available / Despite poor margins, prices likely to roll over at the end of Q2
17.05.2012
POLYMER PRICES
