Market Pricing Summary ConclusionsMarket Pricing Summary Conclusions
2008 market pricing reflects a severe decline for all the traditional commodities (OCC, ONP, metals, plastics, and glass containers).
Recyclable materials pricing in 2008 for several commodities (OCC, ONP, mixed paper, and PET) reflects a dramatic change from historical highs to historical lows.
Cyclical nature of pricing in the past reflects a likely upturn in pricing in the future.
