POLYMER PRICES Standard recyclate September: Prices remain under pressure / Demand weakness perpetuates / Recyclers aim to keep prices stable in October	16.09.2025
POLYMER PRICES Standard recyclate August: Prices remain at previous month's level / Recyclers experience eroded margins / Little improvement expected for September	15.08.2025
POLYMER PRICES Standard Recyclate July: Weak demand leads to widespread production cutbacks / Off-spec material puts additional pressure on prices	17.07.2025
POLYMER PRICES Standard recyclate June: Expensive input material, cheap virgin material, many imports – a toxic cocktail for producers / Uncertain development in July	16.06.2025
POLYMER PRICES Standard recyclate May: Heterogenous price development / Construction, logistics sectors pick up slightly / Off-spec material, imports generate pressure	15.05.2025
POLYMER PRICES Standard recyclate April: Demand increases slightly but no sign of a turnaround / Recyclers still under strong cost pressure / Small boom in PET market	16.04.2025
POLYMER PRICES Standard recyclate March: Prices trending up / Supply, demand largely unchanged / Will the PRSE trade fair bring a turnaround?	18.03.2025
