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 Engineering recyclate April 2012: Rising trend as Q2 starts / Primary polymer increases roll on /Tight supply of input material drives secondary costs upward / Triple-digit increases could be in store for May	20.04.2012
POLYMER PRICES Engineering recyclate March 2012: Secondary ABS continues to rise / Upward tendencies for rPA and rPC / rPOM and rPP compounds stay put / Production scrap increasingly tight and expensive / Price rises imminent	19.03.2012
POLYMER PRICES Engineering recyclate February 2012: Anticipated primary market increases coupled with product shortages drive ABS and PA 6 recyclate up / Rollover dominates elsewhere / Supply and demand stable at a high level / Feedstocks continue to rise	20.02.2012
POLYMER PRICES Engineering recyclate January 2012: Prices roll over across the board / Stock replenishing measures drive demand / Automotive sector gets off to a strong start / Recyclers plan significant hikes	19.01.2012
POLYMER PRICES Engineering Recyclate December 2011: Stability prevails / rPOM follows primary material down slightly / rPP producers pass on cost reductions / Automotive suppliers begin end-of-year rallye / Rollover likely	19.12.2011
POLYMER PRICES Engineering Recyclate November 2011: Pressure from crumbling primary market impacts secondary sector / Prices for rABS, rPC and rPP-Copo compounds slip / Margins suffer as plastic scrap prices remain high / Recyclers will take a tough line on a rollover	21.11.2011
POLYMER PRICES Engineering Recyclate October 2011: End to the primary market's Q3 price cap causes recyclate notations to crumble / Double-digit falls abound / rPP compounds stable / Availability of plastic scrap improves / Declining orders / Stability possible	20.10.2011
