Platts launches daily recycled polymers table in Polymerscan, PCA

S&P Global Platts is launching a new Recycled Polymers Daily Spot Assessments table on page 2 of Polymerscan and a new European Recycled Polymers daily fixed page on PCA, from May 13, 2020.

Platts strives to provide essential market information on key commodities. As interest in the global recycled plastics markets grows, this stand-alone table for recycled polymers assessments has been added to support Platts' growing portfolio of global recycled polymer markets.

Recycled assessments will move from their existing tables to the new table on page 2:
