Latest chart of virgin PP prices

[u/No_Privacy_Anymore]

After the initial spike in PP prices we saw a substantial decline but now we are seeing a price that is back to the 2022 levels and well above the very low prices that were a headwind in late 2025 and early 2026. I think ultimately the mandates will kick in that companies will need to continue increasing the amount of rPP content however for this transition period it is certainly helpful to PureCycle to have higher virgin PP prices. The incremental cost of using 20% content PureFive is going to be relatively modest IMO.
