Recycled Polypropylene (R-PP) Price Trend Q3 2025
In the third quarter of 2025, the recycled polypropylene price trend has been mixed between regions. While the recycled polypropylene price trend has declined in Germany and China because of lower demand from the automotive and packaging industries, the price trend has been stabling in Saudi Arabia and India because of higher regional demand and limitations on supply.
