Engineering Recyclate March 2017: Massive price increases / Peak still not reached / Lively demand results in the first bottlenecks / Recycling companies near to their capacity limits

Standard Recyclate March 2017: Prices almost at a standstill despite increased virgin material notations / Noticeable premiums only on rPET and rPS / Recyclers aiming for price increases across the board

Engineering Recyclate February 2017: Increases on the primary market begin to impact secondary products / Response with PA and PC/ABS blends / Adequate supply, demand and capacity utilisation / Base material likely to become more expensive in March

Standard Recyclate February 2017: Notations broadly trending upwards / Increased virgin material prices make secondary materials more attractive / Further increases expected for March

Engineering Recyclate January 2017: Little movement in January / Reasonable ordering activity with availability normal / Price rises likely in February on a broad front / ABS will be affected most

Standard Recyclate January 2017: Prices have bottomed out / Higher virgin material prices lead to first increases / Stock build-up has been stopped / New premiums likely in February

Engineering Recyclate December 2016: Secondary materials unchanged at year's end / Demand significantly weaker / Flood of orders for Q1 / Price hikes likely for some grades in new year

Standard Recyclate December 2016: Notations still trending down / Only rPET rolls over / Poor demand / Bottom could soon be reached / Virgin market developments have stabilising effect

Engineering Recyclate November 2016: Notations mostly stable / Uptrend likely / With year-end approaching, demand takes another dip / Abundance of scrap material

Standard Recyclate November 2016: Notations still under pressure / Oversupply results in slight erosion / Demand remains comparatively weak / Additional declines likely

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

Standard Recyclate October 2016: Notations are under pressure / Largest rebates for rPS and rLDPE / Demand rather weak / Amid lack of any stimuli, no trend reversal in sight

Engineering Recyclate September 2016: Most prices continue to crumble / Primary market developments put recyclers under pressure / Demand subdued even after end to the holidays

Standard Recyclate September 2016: Notations decline slightly across the board / rPP and rPS resist downtrend / Demand at times below expectations / Stability expected in October

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
