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

Standard Recyclate December 2011: Prices slide again despite weak rollover for primary material and run on recyclate / Short month and high output limit stock-building efforts / Rollover likely despite high costs

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

Standard Recyclate November 2011: Downswing trend in primary market pressures rLDPE, rPP / Weak rollover for rHDPE and rHIPS / Building absorbs large output / High costs / Rollover mostly sought

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

Standard Recyclate October 2011: Primary market corrections have little impact / rLLDPE mostly flat / rPP and rPS shaky / Input material tight and expensive / Stability likely despite waning building season

Engineering Recyclate September 2011: Virgin material's instability hits rPA, rPOM and rPC / Plastic scrap still tight and expensive / Demand for inexpensive recyclate remains strong / Suppliers intend to take hard line

Standard Recyclate September 2011: Notations mostly roll over / Gains for opaque rPE and rPS / Occasional concessions for rPE and rPP / Base material tight / Building market may continue to drive

Engineering Recyclate August 2011: Notations remain stable to firm / rPA and rPC/ABS blends still tight / Demand appears to be holding up well / rPP compounds may come under some degree of pressure

Standard Recyclate August 2011: Notations mostly stable / Minor declines seen for film recyclate at the upper end of the range / Procurement costs still high / Market's direction at the moment still unclear

Engineering Recyclate July 2011: Secondary market remains resistant despite pressure from virgin material / rPA 6.6 and rPC see reductions / Higher primary cost also impacts production scrap / Situation likely to stabilise despite slack ordering

Standard Recyclate July 2011: Secondary market unfazed by lower primary prices / Gains for rHDPE / Plastics waste still costly / Building industry dominates buying / Higher feedstocks end virgin price slide

Engineering Recyclate June 2011: Stability pervades / Price rises for rPA 6 and rPC blends / Ultra-low rPOM prices brought into line / Production scrap remains short / Margins threatened by price hikes in primary sector

Standard Recyclate June 2011: Secondary market not yet hit by monomer-related slide / Stable with firming trend / Most buyers on allocation / Building demand nears peak / Producers still seeking hikes

Engineering Recyclate May 2011: Range narrows with rPA, rPC and rPP / Availability of production scrap improves slightly / Demand still lively / No consensus on price hikes
