In the latest development from Europe’s recycled plastics market, a UK-based producer has reportedly put forward an offer for recycled high-density polyethylene (R-HDPE) blow moulding grade. According to a source, the offer pertains to mixed colour material with a melt flow index (MFI) of 0.95, and is being made available in 20-ton lots.
The material is being offered at GBP 687.50/mt, with shipment expected in October 2025 on an Ex Works basis. Market participants note that the pricing reflects current supply-demand conditions, where recycled polymer availability has been steady but demand signals remain cautious.
Industry insiders suggest that buyers are likely to weigh such offers carefully against virgin HDPE price trends and overall consumption needs, particularly in packaging and container applications where blow moulding grades are widely utilized. With regulatory pressures encouraging greater adoption of recycled content in Europe, competitive pricing strategies from regional producers are expected to play a critical role in shaping buying interest over the coming weeks.
The offer also comes at a time when energy costs and logistics considerations continue to influence the broader recycled plastics market in Europe. Traders indicate that October transactions will provide clearer insight into whether downstream converters are prepared to commit to larger volumes or continue adopting a wait-and-watch approach.
