Prices pressure keeps waste sector from seeing benefits of UK growth

摘要

The prices of secondary materials are declining and costs for recy-clers are increasing, the Recycling Association (RA) has warned. The trade body said that market conditions for the waste industry are deteriorating, and the sector has not seen the same signs of recovery as the rest of the economy. RA president Adrian Jackson said this was in part due to weaker demand for recyclate from China and other Asian markets, which traditionally have been the main importers of secondary materials from the UK.
