The fall in plastics prices was maintained last week, while other materials were more or less stable.
LDPE 98/2 dropped by a further £20 per tonne, meaning the material has lost around £40 per tonne in the past month.
PET bottles were down £15 per tonne, while HDPE natural bottles were unchanged.
Although news&pam remained unchanged, both OCC and mixed paper saw a £1 increase.
Looking at metals, copper was up by just £25 per tonne as too was brass. Aluminium was down by the same amount.
