NEW: Butadiene Prices

With the contracts for October 2024, PIE – Plastics Information Europe is also introducing the plastic precursor, butadiene (C4), as a Western European contract and as a spot quotation.

Both price variants are available immediately and retroactively for one year. The corresponding detail pages in the PIE price section are now available.

The monthly butadiene contract is accessible for free to PIE subscribers. The weekly spot price, on the other hand, is part of the additional Spot Price Monitor offer.
