POLYMER PRICES

Engineering Recyclate January 2019: Rollover for all types / Prices unlikely to move much until Q2 / Surprisingly strong automotive demand / Situation with base material eases

POLYMER PRICES

Standard Recyclate January 2019: Prices remain stable despite falling virgin material prices / Recycled PET trending up / Demand fuelled by policies to increase recyclate usage in products

POLYMER PRICES

Engineering Recyclate December 2018: Significant reductions with some regrind types / PA 6.6 feedstocks still short and expensive / Demand far weaker than in previous years / Automotive segment continues tending weak

POLYMER PRICES

Standard Recyclate December 2018: Slight price changes, if any / Modest discounts only for rLDPE and rPP / Restrained demand ahead of holiday shutdowns / No significant movements foreseeable

POLYMER PRICES

Engineering Recyclate November 2018: Weak demand from automotive industry erodes prices for rABS, rPC and rPP compounds / Primary market fuels strong rPA 6.6 increase / Demand remains below expectations

POLYMER PRICES

Standard Recyclate November 2018: Most recyclate prices soften slightly after decline of virgin material notations / Recycled LDPE stable / Only clear rPET grades firm slightly / Increasing pressure expected

POLYMER PRICES

Engineering Recyclate October 2018: Rollovers dominate / Production largely running normally / Demand weakens / More movement expected next month

POLYMER PRICES

Standard Recyclate October 2018: Largely stable market / Clear hikes only with clear rPET / Pressure on opaque grades of rLDPE / Seasonal lively demand / Fall in demand expected in November

POLYMER PRICES

Engineering Recyclate September 2018: General rollover in September / Upcoming hikes for polyamides set to also push up recyclates / Strong production month expected

POLYMER PRICES

Standard Recyclate September 2018: Mixed trends / Slight oversupply exerts pressure on rPP homo and rLDPE prices / Significant hikes on clear rPET / Upward potential for a few polymers in October

POLYMER PRICES

Engineering Recyclate August 2018: General uptrend loses momentum / Some notations slightly up, others take a breather / Holiday season puts damper on demand

POLYMER PRICES

Standard Recyclate August 2018: Almost all prices stagnate at previous month's level / Holiday period paralyses demand / Regular demand only for rPET / Upward potential for rHDPE and rPP

POLYMER PRICES

Engineering Recyclate July 2018: Primary product increases roll through secondary market / Large hikes for rPA 6.6 and rPC / Brisk demand continues / Varying trends in August

POLYMER PRICES

Standard Recyclate July 2018: Prices broadly trending upwards / Rising interest in recyclate usage drives demand / Recycled PET continues to soar / Holiday season to dampen demand in August

POLYMER PRICES

Engineering Recyclate June 2018: Bottleneck for rPA 6.6 dogs market / Dramatic hikes / rPC consistently tight / Demand still lively / More increases sure to come in July

POLYMER PRICES

Standard Recyclate June 2018: Prices largely sideways / Hikes only for rPET and rHDPE blow moulding grades / Demand up slightly / Costlier virgin material will drive rPP

POLYMER PRICES

Engineering Recyclate May 2018: All is still calm / rPC tends upwards / Demand reasonable despite many bank holidays / Prices expected to rise especially for rPA types and rPC / Base polymer often tight

POLYMER PRICES

Standard Recyclate May 2018: Widespread price increases despite shortened production weeks / Export demand and high waste costs fuel upswing of film grades, rHDPE pipes and rPET / Further hikes likely in June

POLYMER PRICES

Engineering Recyclate April 2018: Little change this month / Upturn probable in coming weeks / Demand quite reasonable of late / Still minor delivery delays

POLYMER PRICES

Standard Recyclate April 2018: Demand from China leads to first bottlenecks / rLDPE and rHDPE films much stronger / Recycled PET increases / Spring upswing and Chinese exports drive prices in May
