Recycled polymer prices have decoupled from their virgin counterparts. They’ve driven higher as R-PET buyers compete to secure their share of limited supplies. Beverage bottle producers are competing for the limited supply of food-grate R-PET flakes in order to meet regional legislative targets for amounts of recycled content being used.
Price & market indicators
Acetic Acid producers and end users rely on ICIS price assessments to settle contract prices. Ours is the most frequently used benchmark, and our price data reflects constant shifts in supply and demand. China is the biggest market driver – both of demand and production capacity. In the US, the market is slower moving with the supply as main driver.
