Prices increases were seen last week for OCC and mixed papers as well as HDPE bottles.
Subscribers to Resource Efficient Business Intelligence saw in their weekly report that OCC and mixed papers both increased by £2 per tonne, while HDPE bottles also increased in value on the back of extra demand from the export market.
Certain brass and aluminium grades also saw an increase in price. Most other grades were stable.
However, as subscribers will know, despite a benefit of a weakening pound against the dollar, other factors in coming weeks may just temper any further price increases.
Intelligence is a PDF report that is emailed to subscribers every Friday and current subscribers include most of the major waste management companies and recyclers in the UK. A special edition with less information is also provided free of charge to local authorities on the LARAC website.
