Material price data: plastics recyclates
Secondary material price data brings together the cost base of the regranulates and helps place them against virgin material.

What are plastics recyclates?
The plastics recyclates section covers a range of secondary materials – processed regranulates (rPE, rPET and rABS, for example) and recyclates that can be used in place of virgin material.
Added to these are collected plastics waste and the regrind obtained from it, which can be processed into granulate.
For procurement, pricing, and commercial teams, this overview brings the related price series together in one place.

Where is secondary material used?
Secondary material goes into packaging, construction products, consumer goods, and technical parts, frequently blended with virgin material.
The price development of virgin material above all, but regulatory requirements too, decides how much secondary material is processed; availability and a stable level of quality are decisive mainly in project business.
In pricenxt, individual secondary material price series can be related to virgin material price data by regression analysis.

What defines recyclates?
Recyclates link the circular economy with material costs. Price series help place developments against virgin material transparently.
Secondary raw materials in the loop
Processed regranulates and waste replace virgin material and support recycling rates. Collection volumes and quality shape price formation.
- Regranulates: sorted, processed secondary plastics as a substitute for virgin material.
- Waste streams: collected post-consumer streams as feedstock.
- Circularity relevance: key to recycling rates and sustainable procurement.
Market relevance
Prices for plastics recyclates are relevant for companies that purchase, cost or have to account for recyclate and circular-economy 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.
