Report on Markets for Recycled Materials

Requirements

We are looking for background information, appropriately referenced, on the markets and end uses for the following materials which have been separated from residual household waste (also called “black bag waste”) at a materials recovery facility.

• Ferrous metals
• Non ferrous metals
• Mixed Plastics
• Paper
• Cardboard

The recycling facility is based in the UK.

We require the following:

a) Commentary on the factors affecting the markets for each of the materials

b) Commentary on the likely trends of demand and prices for each of the material types

c) Identification of the risks to each market. This should include legislative change and the potential impacts of Brexit

Please note that these materials are not dry recyclables materials that may have been collected separately from householders or as part of a co-mingled dry recyclables collection.
