Platts to change frequency of European and UK Recycled PET assessments to daily

In light of evolving market dynamics, S&P Global Platts has decided to change the frequency of its Recycled-PET assessments in Europe and the UK from weekly to daily, effective May 13, 2020.

This will align R-PET with daily coverage of recycled plastics globally.

The assessments, previously published every Wednesday, will now be published every UK working day.
