POLYMER PRICES

Engineering Recyclate June 2019: Minor corrections with ABS and polycarbonate / Sluggish demand in automotive segment / Overall demand for regrind material nevertheless good / Price cuts likely with PA and PP compounds

POLYMER PRICES

Standard Recyclate June 2019: Prices largely unmodified despite increased purchasing costs / At most pro rata cost transfers / Significant discounts on rPET clear and rPET flakes clear

POLYMER PRICES

Engineering Recyclate May 2019: Secondary market quiet / Recycled PP compounds an exception / Demand improves slowly / Little change likely in June

POLYMER PRICES

Standard Recyclate May 2019: Increasing prices predominate / Only opaque grades and rPET remain in rollover / Demand driven by virgin materials and seasonal effects / Further hikes to also predominate in June

POLYMER PRICES

Engineering Recyclate April 2019: Notations largely stabilise / Only occasional softening with rPA 6 and rPC / Little change expected in May

POLYMER PRICES

Standard Recyclate April 2019: Prices predominantly stable / Some grades slightly more expensive / Upcoming holidays dampen demand / Recyclers still aiming to factor in increased costs

POLYMER PRICES

Engineering Recyclate March 2019: Weak volume calls from automotive industry depress prices / Some further discounts in April

POLYMER PRICES

Standard Recyclate March 2019: Prices largely remain at previous month's level / Only small hikes on individual grades / Recyclers aim to catch up on missed price increases

POLYMER PRICES

Engineering Recyclate February 2019: Most prices roll over as expected / Little movement likely in March / Demand picking up / Reasonable supply of base material and situation easing with PA 6.6

POLYMER PRICES

Standard Recyclate February 2019: Prices of rLDPE and rPS soften in the wake of falling virgin material notations / Brisk demand continues due to tightening recyclate policies

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
