For each grade, we compared the average price of Q1 2025 (January–March) with the average price of H2 2025 (July–December).
The percentage change between these two periods shows how much prices fell during the year. Grades with the largest declines were ranked as the top losers.

Grades Covered in This Ranking
This analysis includes major recycled polymer segments across r-PP, r-HDPE and r-LDPE, covering injection, extrusion, blow molding and filled grades commonly traded in the market. 

📉 Top 5 Price Losers of 2025

1. r-PP Mineral Filled – Black | ▼ 29.0% (Worst Performer)
The sharpest fall across all recycled polymers, driven by weak engineering plastics demand and heavy price corrections after mid-year.

2. r-PP Injection – Black | ▼ 29.0%
Strong early-year prices collapsed in H2 amid slowdown in automotive and appliance segments.

3. r-PP Injection – Color | ▼ 22.0%
Sustained oversupply and cautious buying sentiment dragged prices sharply lower.

4. r-PP Extrusion – Black | ▼ 16.8%
Steady erosion through the second half as downstream pipe and sheet demand weakened.

5. r-HDPE Blow – Color | ▼ 14.3%
The weakest HDPE grade of the year, reflecting declining packaging demand and comfortable supply conditions.

📝 Market Insight

Polypropylene grades dominated the losers list in 2025, especially mineral filled and black injection grades. Blow molding grades in HDPE were the next most vulnerable, highlighting the pressure on industrial and packaging-linked segments during the second half of the year.
