Platts assessed recycled low-density polyethylene translucent pellets at Eur950/mt DDP Northwest Europe Sept. 27, up Eur30/mt on the day and up Eur40/mt on the week, weighing a recycler's indication heard at Eur950/mt against a second recycler indication of prices above the same level. The assessment also considered a range of indications heard at between Eur1,000-Eur1,200/mt and market feedback of increased demand moving past an offer heard at Eur930/mt.
R-LDPE black pellets were assessed at Eur610/mt DDP NWE, up Eur20/mt on the day and on the week, moving to the lower end of a recycler's indication heard at Eur600-Eur650/mt and partially tracking a trader indication of deal levels for off grade materials heard at Eur650/mt, pending further corroboration of higher levels.
R-LDPE grey pellets were assessed at Eur690/mt DDP NWE, up Eur20/mt on the day and on the week, moving to the bottom range of a recycler's indication heard at Eur680-Eur730/mt and tracking the weekly rise in black pellet pricing.
Post-use LDPE Grade B bales were assessed at Eur360/mt DDP NWE, up Eur45/mt on the day and Eur60/mt on the week, in line with the most competitive recycler's indication heard at Eur360/mt, and moving toward two recyclers' indications heard at Eur380-Eur400/mt and Eur380-Eur450/mt respectively, pending further corroboration of higher levels.
Post-use Grade A bales were assessed at Eur380/mt DDP NWE, up Eur40/mt on the day and Eur55/mt on the week, in line with a recycler's indication heard at Eur380/mt and moving toward a second recycler's indication heard at Eur400/mt, pending further corroboration at higher levels.
