Prices for recycled polyester are tracked in China, India, and Pakistan, covering Recycled Polyester Staple Fibers (Re-PSF), including GRS Close Virgin in China, and Recycled Polyester Oriented Yarns (Re-POY), with benchmarks certified by the Global Recycled Standard (GRS).

These prices are compared against virgin polyester prices across the three countries. Additionally, Re-PSF and Re-POY prices are analyzed alongside PET bottle flake prices to assess gross margin trends in recycled fiber manufacturing.

Our database offers up to 8 years of historical data, all readily available for download.
