Otherwise, plastics were stable on last week.

In the paper market, there was a lot of demand for mixed paper, which pushed up the price by £4 per tonne. There was no change seen for other paper grades.

Metals saw price falls with copper down by £75 per tonne, while brass fell by £25 per tonne. Aluminium and steel grades were both unchanged on last week.
