Standard Recyclate June 2013: Scant momentum despite higher virgin prices / Hope for revival in June

摘要

Though prices for virgin polymers saw increases at the beginning of June in German-speaking Europe, notations for most recyclate products remained unchanged. While it takes some time for primary market hikes to trickle down to the secondary sector, another factor hampering recyclate price hikes in June was the overall slack market. The tendency toward over-supply prevented recyclers from pushing through price hikes for some products such as rLDPE film.
