Our next piece of news relating to the auto scrap and recycling business focuses on how the market price for oil has impacted many US recyclers. On Saturday January 2, 2016 the site pressofatlanticcity.com posted an article titled ‘Recycling industry a victim of cheaper oil’ authored by Maxwell Reil, which told us the following: “Lower oil costs cost has meant cheaper gas & heating bills for consumers; for many recycling companies, it has led to a decrease in revenue. As oil prices fall, so have the value of plastics made with oil.
Bob Anderson, Regional Development Manager for ReCommunity Recycling, says low oil prices are affecting revenue for recycling companies. The commodity markets are at historic lows & we’ve seen steep reduction in the value of scrap materials. Spot prices for oil were around $36/ barrel last week, according to the U.S. EIA, compared with $98.89 in 2014 and $108.56 in 2013. Scrap plastic was selling at $2,000/ton, and now has fallen to $30/ton. The material comes in fast every week, and in NJ recycling is mandatory. Kim Holmes, Director of Recycling at SPI, says it’s a challenging time in the recycling industry. Holmes says recycling companies should take advantage of the market & seek companies that want to work specifically with recyclable materials.
Anderson’s experts expect to see the same pricing for 3-5 years. He said the company has hired more workers for a higher quality product, something buyers are interested in; buyers have higher tolerance with non-recoverable items, and when demand is low you must produce a better product. When competing versus competitors, the cleaner the product is then the better chance you have. Those choosing to use recycled content cite cost savings as the main reason, but another reason was because companies had internally stated eco-goals requested by customers.” The complete article is available at this link.
