Recycling Commodity Valuation

Our customers know that they receive the best possible prices for their materials and can clearly calculate the cost savings.

Demand for commodities are tied to global economic growth, specifically China

Prices have seen record highs and lows in the past 3 years
Greenstar view for 2012 is demand for fiber and plastic will remain stable through the last quarter subject to global economy continuing to grow Fixed price contracts are emerging as a tool to manage price volatilityterms of 12 -24 months are common (for fiber only)
