Recently, polyester raw materials remain supported, with prices of major polyester fibers and virgin polyester chips staying firm. The price spread between virgin and recycled materials remains at a high level, providing some support to the recycled market. However, downstream and end-users are adopting a cautious purchasing approach, leading to sluggish sales and production for recycled fiber producers, who continue to maintain a cost-control mindset and a tendency to push prices lower.With the peak season for bottle collection approaching, supply is expected to increase, and most washing plants are operating on a just-in-time basis. The recycled PET flake market is anticipated to remain weak and fluctuate sideways in the short term.
