Standard Recyclate August 2013: Only occasional increases / Substantial price hikes targeted

摘要

The third straight month of price increases on the primary market has had virtually no impact on standard recyclate notations in August. There were small increases of up to EUR 10/t for some LDPE film grades and EUR 15/t for rPP, but there were also few reductions in the portfolio for rHDPE material, where prices slipped by an average of EUR 10/t. Recycled HIPS was the only product to see any significant increase, moving up EUR 30/t. However, as the virgin material went up in price by an average of EUR 55/t in August, the price gap to the regrind material widened.
