Argus Recycled Polymers Outlook
Overview
Global recycled polymer markets are volatile and fragmented, shaped by shifting policy, feedstock dynamics and competitive pressures. Reliable forward-looking insight is essential for planning and procurement decisions.
The Argus Recycled Polymers Outlook delivers rolling 24-month forecasts for global rPET and rPolyolefins (rPP, rHDPE, rLL/LDPE), with coverage across Europe, North America and Northeast and Southeast Asia. Presented in a visual, commercially focused format, the Outlook combines forecast price tables, trend charts and concise commentary for fast decision-making.
The service also integrates virgin polymer market insight, presenting spreads between virgin and recycled prices to show how virgin trends impact recycled resin margins.
A PowerPoint PDF report is delivered to your inbox each month, and accompanying Excel data files can be accessed via Argus Direct - our interactive platform for dynamic dashboards, downloadable data and publications.
