The Good, the Bad and the Meh: Midsummer Recycling Markets
2024-07-22 14:15:40| Waste Age
A bit more than halfway through the year, MRF recycling markets are blowing hot, cold, and indifferent. On the hot side are old corrugated containers (OCC), residential mixed paper (RMP), PET bottles, and aluminum cans. Steel cans and colored HDPE bottles are cold. Natural HDPE bottles and polypropylene (PP) packaging are kind of meh. At least prices arent as volatile as the summer of 2021 when most recyclables set record highs only to watch them disappear.
