Performance was measured by comparing the average price of Q1 2025 (January–March) with the average price of H2 2025 (July–December) for each grade.
Grades with the highest gains or the smallest declines were ranked as the top performers.

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 Performers of 2025

1. r-HDPE Injection – Natural | ▲ 7.9% (Best Performer)
Premium natural grades benefited from strong packaging and FMCG demand, ending the year with solid gains.

2. r-HDPE Injection – Color | ▲ 2.4%
Improved buying interest in the second half supported steady price appreciation.

3. r-LDPE Extrusion – Natural | ▲ 2.0%
Stable film extrusion demand helped this grade post moderate gains.

4. r-LDPE Extrusion – Color | ▲ 0.6%
One of the few LDPE grades to close the year in positive territory.

5. r-PP Injection – Natural | ▼ 1.7% (Most Resilient PP Grade)
Despite weakness across PP markets, natural injection grades limited losses and remained comparatively stable.

📝 Market Insight

Natural grades clearly outperformed in 2025, supported by steady packaging and FMCG-linked demand. While filled and black compounds faced sharp corrections, premium natural injection and extrusion grades emerged as the most resilient segments of the year.
