What is PET waste?
PET waste denotes collected post-consumer PET waste such as baled beverage bottles, which serves as the input material (feedstock) for recycling.
Quality, sorting, and collection volumes determine its value.
For procurement, pricing and commercial teams these prices are relevant because they determine the cost base of the entire rPET chain.

Where is PET waste used?
PET waste is the starting point of the PET recycling chain and is reprocessed into flakes (regrind) and regranulate, which flow back into packaging and fibres.
This ties PET waste indirectly to beverage and food packaging and to textiles.

What makes PET waste distinctive?
PET waste is the entry point into the rPET value chain. Price series help place the cost base of collection and reprocessing in context.
Material and price logic
The value of PET waste depends on collection volumes, sorting purity, and rPET demand. Sorting quality shapes price formation.
- Input material: baled post-consumer PET waste for recycling.
- Trade types: contract prices form the price basis for planning and calculation.
- Chain relevance: determines the cost base of flakes and regranulate.
Market relevance
Prices for PET waste are relevant to companies that purchase, cost or have to account for recyclate-based and circular PET 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.
