Polymer prices recyclate
POLYMER PRICES
Standard Recyclate April 2013: Sinking virgin prices have little effect / Building season lends impetus / rPE uneven / rPP continues sideways / Primary market provides a damper
18.04.2013
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering Recyclate March 2013: Primary market price hikes drive triple-digit increases for rPA and rPC / rABS, rPOM and rPP remain stable / Brisk ordering / Rises in base polymer costs will continue in Q2 / Further price hikes in April
20.03.2013
POLYMER PRICES
Standard Recyclate March 2013: Strong rollover in shadow of rising virgin prices / Slight upwind for rPE and rHIPS / rPP sideways / Input costs higher / Season starts will boost demand
19.03.2013
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering Recyclate February 2013: Notations mostly firm / Automotive demand rising greatly / OEMs switch to cheaper secondary material / Muted upward pressure
22.02.2013
POLYMER PRICES
Standard Recyclate February 2013: Flat notations reflect primary market weakness / Hike plans run aground on stable but expensive input costs / Budding spring demand and firm oil could support higher prices in March
21.02.2013
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering Recyclate January 2013: Notations mostly firm as new year gets underway / rPA sheds a few feathers / Inventory top-ups lead to large volume sales / Primary market surge could engulf secondary materials, too
21.01.2013
POLYMER PRICES
Standard Recyclate January 2013: Neater rLDPE moves up with virgin material / rHDPE, rPP and rPS firm / Restocking of LDPE regrind slower than expected / Base material prices rise
18.01.2013
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering recyclate December 2012: Most grades end 2012 on a stable footing / Some PA materials suffer bruises / Quarterly contracts ensure base polymer will remain expensive / Threat of major virgin price hikes likely to drive recyclate notations up
17.12.2012
POLYMER PRICES
Standard Recyclate December 2012: Wide price gap to virgin material takes pressure off rLDPE / Few weak spots in rHDPE / Weak rollover for rPP / Rises in primary notations expected for January
14.12.2012
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering recyclate November 2012: Most grades roll over / Weak primary market pressures rABS and rPC/ABS / Orders decline considerably / Early production shut-downs aimed at supporting rollover
20.11.2012
POLYMER PRICES
Standard recyclate November 2012: Dramatic declines for transparent material / Oversupply and seasonal weakness pressure rHDPE and rPP / rPS stable / Production cuts aimed at forcing rollover
19.11.2012
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering recyclate October 2012: Recyclate prices not yet affected by weakness of primary market / Rollover predominates / First signs of notations crumbling for rPA and rPC / Demand slows down / Prices likely to remain stable for the time being
19.10.2012
POLYMER PRICES
Standard Recyclate October 2012: Polyolefins in a strong rollover / Knock-on effect of downswing in primary market pressures rPS / Output slacker / Expensive input material drives recyclate notations
18.10.2012
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering Recyclate September 2012: Most polymers see a rollover / Search for alternatives to expensive virgin material compensates weakening trend / Demand slowdown not yet visible
20.09.2012
POLYMER PRICES
Standard Recyclate September 2012: rPE and rPP prices rising / Expensive primary polymers drive demand for neat regrind / More expensive base material costs / Pressure on margins brings risk of increase
