January 2019: Prices remain stable despite falling virgin material prices/Recycled PET trending up

摘要

In January,almost all recyclate prices remained at December's level,with rPET being the only exception.What at first glance appears to be unspectacular can be interpreted as a sign of remarkable changes on closer inspection-notations have remained stable despite significantly declining virgin material prices.Some market observers see this as proof of an increasing decoupling of recyclate prices from primary material prices.
