Only 26 suppliers are currently active in the Plastic Scrap category, which means each one is a key player in the market. With few suppliers updating their listings recently, buyers should expect a high level of engagement in conversations—this isn’t a catalog to browse passively, but a space where direct negotiation and due diligence are essential. 76 listings are currently live, offering a range of plastic types and grades. While not massive, this volume still provides a solid starting point for buyers looking for a match without needing to start from scratch or wait for a new supplier to post. Suppliers come from 11 different countries, with South Africa making up 23.1% of the total. This geographic spread gives buyers flexibility to explore alternatives beyond South Africa, especially if they're concerned about logistics, tariffs, or supply chain risks in a single region. Buyer inquiries dropped 44.4% to just 5 in the last 30 days—this is a sharp decline from the previous period. The drop suggests reduced market activity, which could mean lower competition for current suppliers, but also a need to act quickly to secure supply before demand rebounds.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Plastic Scrap listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 20 October 2026 - 76 active listings, 16 buyer requests, 57 source documents, and 430 supply observations from the same 365-day window. External export benchmarks are cited separately and never mixed into Freshdi figures.
Price and MOQ ranges are the interquartile range - the middle half of quotes, a quarter below and a quarter above - with the median reported alongside. A Plastic Scrap type is priced only once it holds at least 5% of supply price quotes and 3 priced listings with a real range; below that it is not listed. Buyer prices are compared only once there are at least 5 of them.
All prices are FOB, in USD per metric ton; quotes on other Incoterms are converted to a FOB equivalent. Freshdi does not hold a CIF price series for Plastic Scrap, so no landed-cost comparison is possible from this data.
Product freshness counts listings created or updated. Supplier activity counts sellers by their last update. The two are different measurements and will not agree.
Freshdi reprocesses market data every hour, with one snapshot a day for trends. This page's figures, certification coverage included, refresh every 14 days on a rolling 365-day window.
