What is polyethylene recyclate?
Polyethylene recyclate (rPE) is a secondary material made from polyethylene.
The grades recorded here come predominantly from post-consumer streams that are sorted, washed, and reprocessed (recyclate, or regrind/flakes). This secondary material partially replaces virgin material.
For procurement, pricing and commercial teams these prices are relevant because they reflect the cost base of sustainable PE applications and influence compliance with recycling rates.

Where is polyethylene regranulate used?
rPE is used above all for films (refuse sacks and industrial films, for example), sacks, pipes, and containers, frequently as a blend with virgin material.
This ties rPE closely to industrial and consumer packaging, construction, and agriculture.

Top 5 application markets for polyethylene regranulate
pricenxt provides structured price data and analysis views for polyethylene regranulate, supporting a consistent basis for planning, procurement, and pricing.
-
Industrial packagingIndustrial packaging consumes large volumes of PE and PP – from stretch films to jerrycans, polymer prices feed directly into unit costs.Learn more
-
Non-food packagingNon-food packaging combines PP, PE, PS, PVC, and PET – a broad material mix with differing price dynamics.Learn more
-
PipesPipes consist predominantly of HDPE, PVC, and PP – price movements feed directly into the cost per metre.Learn more
-
Greenhouses & agricultural filmsGreenhouse, mulch and silage films consist predominantly of LDPE and LLDPE – price movements hit film costs immediately.Learn more
-
Tools & DIYTools & DIY use ABS, PA-GF, POM, and PC/ABS – price movements feed straight into robust, impact-resistant components.Learn more

What makes polyethylene regranulate distinctive?
Polyethylene regranulate links the circular economy with material costs. Price series help place movements against virgin material in a traceable way.
Material and price logic
rPE depends on collection volumes, sorting quality, and virgin material prices. Availability and quality shape price formation.
- Secondary raw material: sorted, washed PE recyclate as a virgin-material substitute.
- Trade types: contract prices form the price basis for planning and calculation.
- Circularity relevance: important for recycling rates and sustainable packaging.
Market relevance
Prices for polyethylene regranulate are relevant to companies that purchase, cost or have to account for recyclate-based and circular PE materials in price negotiations.
- Procurement: teams can factor price movements into their purchasing plans at an early stage.
- Pricing: price series support structured discussions on material costs and price adjustment mechanisms.
- Controlling: price histories help document cost assumptions in a traceable way.
