Prices for recycled high impact polystyrene were mostly steady earlier this month, with business reported to be muted. HIPS black pellets were quoted in the 70-72 cents per pound range, unchanged from late September, with HIPS black flake material reported at 53-56 cpp.

GPPS natural pellet prices rose a penny in early October, reaching 57-59 cents per pound. GPPS regrind prices were also slightly firmer in the first half of October, with various colors showing an increase of 1 cent per pound.
