POLYMER PRICES

Engineering recyclate September 2020: Supply and demand equally low / Low-priced new material continues to exert pressure / Minor impetus from reduction in value-added tax

POLYMER PRICES

Standard recyclate September 2020: Most prices move sideways / Only occasional slight discounts / Demand often below expectations / Prices remain largely stable in the coming weeks

POLYMER PRICES

Engineering recyclate August 2020: Slump in demand in the holiday month kills off plans to hike prices / Order books slowly filling again / Recyclers hope for topping-up effects in September

POLYMER PRICES

Standard recyclate August 2020: Premiums on primary materials take some pressure off secondary materials / Optimism for autumn predominates / Lack of imports could provide a boost

POLYMER PRICES

Engineering recyclate July 2020: Further price cuts with polyamide 6 and polyamide 6.6 GF / Notations otherwise stable / Demand continues weak / Regrinders to aim for small price hikes in August

POLYMER PRICES

Standard recyclate July 2020: Prices stabilise further / Decreases only with rPET and rHDPE blow moulding grades / Demand improves slightly / Holiday season to dampen demand in August

POLYMER PRICES

Engineering recyclate June 2020: Prices recover after last month's crash / Occasional reductions for automotive grades / Regrinders look to reduce high purchasing costs

POLYMER PRICES

Standard recyclate June 2020: Recycled LDPE and rPP prices roll over / Further decreases with rHDPE and rPET / Demand remains weak / No upswing expected in the near future

POLYMER PRICES

Engineering recyclate May 2020: Reductions of as much as EUR 300/t / Large-scale cancelling of orders / Most recycling line production cut back or shut down

POLYMER PRICES

Standard recyclate May 2020: Downtrend continues / Competition from cheaper virgin materials / Covid-19-related slump in demand / Margins are eroding / Further decreases expected in June

POLYMER PRICES

Engineering recyclate April 2020: Most recycled material suppliers take prices over into April / Processing comes to a standstill and restricts plastics scrap availability / Price cuts probable

POLYMER PRICES

Standard recyclate April 2020: Coronavirus shakes up market / Dwindling demand, cutbacks and short-time working / Crash in virgin material prices pressures rPE and rPP / Lasting damage expected

POLYMER PRICES

Engineering recyclate March 2020: Reductions only for recycled polyamide 6.6 GF and polycarbonate / Supply plentiful / Wide-ranging price cuts expected in April / Fall in virgin material prices and coronavirus-related slump in demand

POLYMER PRICES

Standard recyclate March 2020: Recycled polyolefins yield noticeably / PET supply situation precarious / Demand picks up only slowly / Discounts predominate in March

POLYMER PRICES

Engineering Recyclate February 2020: Recycled ABS, PA and PC see a few price cuts / Weak demand slows business considerably / Coronavirus delays mould supplies from China

POLYMER PRICES

Standard Recyclate February 2020: Notations largely stable / Only a short breather / Further price erosion likely / Slightly higher demand generally not meeting expectations

POLYMER PRICES

Engineering Recyclate January 2020: Poor demand leads to rollovers everywhere / Prices may have bottomed out in many cases / PA 6.6 recyclate unlikely to escape reductions

POLYMER PRICES

Standard Recyclate January 2020: Downtrend in prices continues / Only rPP and rPS remain stable / Pressure from virgin materials / Demand to pick up in February / Widely stabilising prices expected

POLYMER PRICES

Engineering Recyclate December 2019: Prices down for nearly all regrind types / Significantly weaker demand at year-end / Nevertheless surprisingly strong order-book situation for January and February

POLYMER PRICES

Standard Recyclate December 2019: Sliding virgin material prices depress prices for pure grades / Oversupply for almost all grades / Demand ebbs at the end of the year / Hardly any change in January
