Plastics Recycling Update Magazine: PetroChem Wire: Recycled polyethylene pricing mixed in November

## _PetroChem Wire_: Recycled polyethylene pricing mixed in November


_By Editorial Staff, Resource Recycling_

Prices for various grades of polyethylene slipped in November on weak demand and lower bale prices.

HDPE bales were sold at 28-30 cents per pound in late November on the East Coast, down 2 cents from October. HMW film grade pellets dropped 1-2 cents, with mixed color material selling for 48 cents per pound in late November. Frac melt dairy natural pellets consolidated slightly lower from mid-November to 58-62 cents per pound. HDPE fractional melt pipe flake material, mixed color, sold at 35 cents per pound near the end of November, down a penny from earlier in the month. Some grades of recycled polyethylene firmed slightly toward the end of the month though. HMW mixed color HDPE sold in late November for 43-45 cents per pound, up a penny from mid-November. Virgin HDPE HMW prices were down in November, with railcars selling at end-November in the US Gulf down 2-4 cents per pound from October.
