JULY 2011 – Plastic Scrap Prices in China
Due to the summer months (and rainy season), the plastic scrap market in China is slowing down for some varieties, however, I have seen increases in items such as ABS, ABS/PC, PS, and others. While there are slight ups and downs depending on material, the market in general is relatively stable.
1 U.S. dollar = 6.4634974 Chinese yuan
