ICIS Launches 1 New rLDPE Price as 2030 PPWR Rules Reshape Europe Market

Summary
ICIS added a flexible natural transparent rLDPE pellet assessment with a 1.5-2.0 melt flow index and renamed two existing natural transparent pellet prices to sharpen grade distinctions.
The changes reflect growing segmentation in Europe’s recycled LDPE market as the PPWR’s 2030 mandatory recycled-content targets push packaging buyers toward tighter specifications and new material grades.
The updated coverage now separates flexible natural transparent pellets at MFI 0.8-1.5 from rigid natural transparent pellets at MFI 0.3-0.8, while the new higher-MFI grade targets stretch-film applications.
ICIS said the added granularity should help converters, film and sheet makers, and consumer brands make procurement, contracting and investment decisions as Europe’s circular plastics market matures.
