Show Notes
Recycling Editors Sam Lovatt and Matt Tudball speak about the indirect impact the Middle East conflict is having on the recycled polymers markets in Europe, and why some markets such as recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) and recycled low density polyethylene (rLDPE) are feeling the consequences much quicker than recycled high density polyethylene (rHDPE) and recycled polypropylene (rPP).
Topics covered include:
- Indirect impact of virgin polymer price rises
- Reaction from recycled market participants
- How rising fuel costs factor into recycled markets
- Concerns about higher energy and production costs
- Longer-term impact of the conflict on consumer spending
