A Polymerduniya source in Europe reports that a UK-based producer is offering recycled PET, specifically clear bottle flake with an intrinsic viscosity of 0.74, in 20-tonne batch sizes at GBP 1,400 per metric tonne. The offer is available on an Ex-Works basis and is slated for September 2025 shipment.
This offer underscores growing activity in high-grade recycled PET (R-PET) markets, especially in Europe where demand for clear, high-IV content flakes suitable for bottle-to-bottle applications remains strong. The pricing and shipment terms suggest the supplier is targeting converters with sufficient scale to procure full-lot volumes under straightforward logistics.
Given the batch size and delivery terms, buyers will likely need to coordinate transport and further handling from the UK site. As Europe advances circular plastics frameworks and the UK continues developing its domestic recycling infrastructure, offers like this hint at both tightening supply for premium R-PET and opportunities for forward contracting in late-summer procurement cycles.
