Resin Pricing
Welcome to our Resin Pricing page. No single line item on a processor's ledger is larger than plastics purchasing. We developed this page to keep you informed on current resin prices and on the news that can move those prices, in the hopes you can use this information to keep your resin spend as low as possible.
Each workday we will update the spot and contract pricing charts below with the help of our friends at The Plastics Exchange. We are working with the London Metal Exchange to offer daily updates on its plastics future contracts. Here the editors of Injection Molding Magazine and Modern Plastics Worldwide will post articles and commentary on supply/demand issues and other pricing topics. More developments are in the pipeline so check back daily.
