Recycled polymers markets are shifting. Virgin margins are under pressure, volatile electricity prices and evolving legislation mean that prices are becoming increasingly challenging to predict. Yet for many commercial teams, reliable forward-looking insight remains out of reach, making it difficult to act with confidence.
Launching in January, the Argus Recycled Polymers Outlook offers a clear view of what’s ahead. This monthly service delivers a 24-month forecast for key recycled grades covering rPET and rPolyolefins (rPP, rHDPE, rLL/LDPE), with regional insight and supporting charts.
Whether you're preparing next year’s budgets, evaluating supplier strategies or responding to new sustainability targets, the Outlook supports strategic decisions with forward-looking insight grounded in current market conditions.
