Following industry feedback, Platts, part of S&P Global Commodity Insights, will launch a weekly ex-works India spot price assessment for recycled high density polyethylene (rHDPE) blow molding non-food grade pellets, effective Aug. 20, 2025.

Pricing information for material with other specifications and terms may be normalized to the standard above.
The assessment would be published alongside Platts' existing recycled plastics assessments in the Polymerscan, Asia PetrochemicalScan, Sustainable Polymerscan, and on the Platts real-time petrochemical service, Platts Chemical Alert and Platts Connect.
