S&P Global Commodity Insights Launches Platts Mixed Plastic Waste Price Assessments for US and Europe
S&P Global Commodity Insights has launched the first-in-market independent price assessments for mixed plastic waste in the United States and Europe through its Platts division. The announcement, made on March 12, 2025, coincides with the 40th anniversary of the World Petrochemical Conference.
The assessments will track process-ready mixed plastic waste prices, focusing on materials used in chemical recycling. According to S&P Global analysts, pyrolysis represents about 70% of the 230 chemical recycling projects they monitor. The company projects that US pyrolysis-based recycling capacity could exceed 600,000 mt/year by 2027, while Europe is expected to add 4-5 new pyrolysis units to its existing two plants.
The new price assessments will be expressed as delivered duty paid (DDP) in both US dollars and cents for the US market, and in US dollars and Euros for the European market. These assessments aim to bring transparency to the recycling value chain and potentially stimulate investments in recycling technologies.
S&P Global Commodity Insights ha lanciato le prime valutazioni di prezzo indipendenti sul mercato per i rifiuti di plastica misti negli Stati Uniti e in Europa attraverso la sua divisione Platts. L'annuncio, fatto il 12 marzo 2025, coincide con il 40° anniversario della Conferenza Mondiale sulle Petrochimiche.
Le valutazioni monitoreranno i prezzi dei rifiuti di plastica misti pronti per il processo, concentrandosi sui materiali utilizzati nel riciclaggio chimico. Secondo gli analisti di S&P Global, la pirolisi rappresenta circa il 70% dei 230 progetti di riciclaggio chimico che monitorano. L'azienda prevede che la capacità di riciclaggio basata sulla pirolisi negli Stati Uniti potrebbe superare 600.000 tonnellate/anno entro il 2027, mentre l'Europa dovrebbe aggiungere 4-5 nuove unità di pirolisi alle sue due impianti esistenti.
Le nuove valutazioni di prezzo saranno espresse come consegna con dazi pagati (DDP) sia in dollari statunitensi che in centesimi per il mercato statunitense, e in dollari statunitensi ed Euro per il mercato europeo. Queste valutazioni mirano a portare trasparenza nella catena del valore del riciclaggio e potenzialmente stimolare investimenti nelle tecnologie di riciclaggio.

S&P Global Commodity Insights는 플라스틱 혼합 폐기물에 대한 시장 최초의 독립 가격 평가를 미국과 유럽에서 Platts 부서를 통해 출시했습니다. 2025년 3월 12일 발표된 이 소식은 세계 석유화학 회의 40주년과 일치합니다.
이 평가는 화학 재활용에 사용되는 소재에 초점을 맞추어 공정 준비 완료 혼합 플라스틱 폐기물의 가격을 추적합니다. S&P Global 분석가들에 따르면, 열분해는 그들이 모니터링하는 230개의 화학 재활용 프로젝트 중 약 70%를 차지합니다. 이 회사는 미국의 열분해 기반 재활용 용량이 2027년까지 600,000 mt/년을 초과할 수 있다고 예측하고 있으며, 유럽은 기존의 두 개 공장에 4-5개의 새로운 열분해 유닛을 추가할 것으로 예상됩니다.
새로운 가격 평가는 미국 시장에서는 미국 달러와 센트로, 유럽 시장에서는 미국 달러와 유로로 DDP(관세 포함 배송)로 표현됩니다. 이러한 평가는 재활용 가치 사슬에 투명성을 제공하고 재활용 기술에 대한 투자를 자극할 수 있는 것을 목표로 하고 있습니다.

The First in Market in the US Independent Price Assessments Bring Transparency and Aid Circular Economy
Analysts at S&P Global Commodity Insights believe that mixed plastic waste, mainly polyolefins, will play a significant role in chemical recycling as the global energy transition progresses, offering advantages over mechanical recycling. Traditional mechanical recycling continues to face challenges of mixed and/or contaminated plastics that frequently results in these materials being sent to landfills or incinerated, releasing harmful pollutants and greenhouse gases. Conversely, chemical recycling can decompose complex waste streams into their basic components, enabling greater recycling of plastics that would otherwise be discarded.
Olivier Maronneaud, Global Research Lead for Methanol and Plastic Circularity, S&P Global Commodity Insights, said, "Pyrolysis plants focus on polyolefin waste feedstocks, and this feedstock accounts for the lion's share of all chemical recycling projects. Among the 230 projects we track, pyrolysis represents approximately
