SINGAPORE (ICIS) -- Recycled polymers markets in Asia faced different market dynamics, driven by various factors like additional capacities, inflationary pressures and support from downstream demand.

Asia R-PET trade to gain support from new extrusion capacities within Asia and long-haul markets
Asia R-PE to continue to perform poorly in H2 in line with cheaper virgin PE prices and inflationary pressure which impacts finished goods demand
Uptake from the automotive sector lends support to Asia R-PP, with trade expected to be moderate until end of the year

In this podcast, Asia recycling editor Arianne Perez discusses trends in the market as well as what lies ahead.
