10 months after its launch by WRAP, the Materials Pricing Report (MPR) is to be opened up to buyers to create a fairer/more transparent market. WRAP says the MPR is the independent & authoritative source of up-to-date price & market information for recyclable materials. From 7 Ap/05, it will no longer be restricted to collectors & sellers of recyclables. Information is provided by subscribers to the service, who agree to supply the prices paid for recyclable materials developed for re-processing or export. WRAP's aim is to see more buyers & sellers recycling more waste, and a fair system based on open & transparent pricing is seen as a way to ensure that all parties can compete on a level playing field. The report has 75 current subscribers, including a significant number of UK local authorities & councils & five leading waste management companies. See: www.wrap.org.uk
