In the waste management and recycling industry prices for the offered and demanded secondary raw materials and waste treatment services are often difficult to compare and not very transparent. Prices fluctuate strongly depending on the economic situation, waste emergence and plant utilization are changing during the year, offered prices vary significantly from one region to another and optimum opportunities for waste recyling are often unknown.
Recycling companies, paper mills, steel mills, plastics producers and plastic recyclers, operators of waste incineration plants or waste producing manufacturers can often not be sure that they have realized the best price for their situation. Additionally the availability of services for short-term spot market deals and mid-term contracts is either not transparent or can only be assessed with a lot of research effort - be it nearby or in the distance.
recyclingplatform has been founded to improve this situation.
