Recycling & Material Recovery

Week of July 13–17, 2026

OLD CORRUGATED CONTAINERS (OCC)

Market Status: Stable

OCC markets remain steady as domestic paper mills continue consistent purchasing and inventories remain well balanced. Seasonal shipping activity continues to support demand, with clean, dry corrugated cardboard maintaining the highest value and strongest mill interest.

MIXED PAPER

Market Status: Stable

Mixed paper pricing remains relatively unchanged as domestic mills continue to absorb available supply. Export markets remain moderate, making material quality and proper sorting increasingly important for maximizing commodity value.

PET PLASTIC

Market Status: Slightly Up

Demand for high-quality PET continues to strengthen as beverage manufacturers increase recycled content goals. Clean, contamination-free PET bales continue to outperform lower-quality material as reclaimers seek reliable feedstock.

ALUMINUM USED BEVERAGE CANS (UBC)

Market Status: Strong

Aluminum continues to lead the recycling market with healthy demand from manufacturers and consistently strong consumer recycling rates. UBC pricing remains among the strongest of all recyclable commodities, supported by ongoing sustainability initiatives.

STEEL SCRAP

Market Status: Slightly Up

Steel scrap markets have shown modest improvement as manufacturing activity remains steady and mills continue purchasing for late-summer production schedules. Industrial grades continue to outperform obsolete scrap in many regional markets.

Overall Market Outlook

Recycling commodity markets remain healthy heading into mid-July. Aluminum continues to deliver exceptional value, while OCC and steel have shown modest strengthening. PET demand is gradually improving as recycled content requirements increase, and mixed paper remains stable despite softer export activity. Maintaining clean, well-sorted recyclables continues to be the best way to maximize revenue while reducing disposal costs.
