Markets for post-consumer PET and HDPE have shown stability, while the price of color HDPE has recently increased.
Prices for recovered PET containers have remained relatively steady. Meanwhile, values for both natural and color HDPE have climbed.
Single-use plastics are everywhere, with most of us regularly relying on the convenience of products such as plastic bags, straws, utensils, takeaway coffee cups, food packaging and water bottles.
PET prices have dropped slightly, but another key curbside plastic, natural HDPE, continues to coast along at high levels.
Bales of PET continue to rise in value, while natural HDPE prices fall slightly but remain at a relatively high level.
There’s no denying it; the world is experiencing a plastic waste crisis and it’s growing – but so is public awareness and action.
