Platts proposes discontinuing Global Recycled Packaging Index from Dec 19, 2025

Platts, part of S&P Global Commodity Insights, proposes to discontinue Platts Global Recycled Packaging Index (ARPGI00) and the corresponding monthly average (ARPGI03) effective Dec. 19, 2025.

This is a daily weighted average index representing the global physical price of some of Platts' key recycled material assessments used across the consumer packaging sector.

The index weightings are determined by the market value of the commodity relative to the total market value of all the commodities represented in this index.

Platts is proposing to discontinue this index with a view to replacing it with a more representative index featuring fewer components for the recycled packaging sector. Market feedback indicates that the current focus is on granular, destination-specific pricing.

Platts will notify subscribers of the replacement of this index through the publication of subscriber notes.

This proposal does not include any of the underlying recycled assessments.

Please send all feedback, comments, or questions to pricegroup@spglobal.com by Sept. 15, 2025.
