Recycled polyester staple fiber fluctuated and rose in the first half of the year, or rebounded after falling in the second half of the year

In 2022, the price of polyester staple fiber will fluctuate and rise, and the price difference with recycled general fiber will gradually expand. As a substitute for polyester staple fiber, with the expansion of the price difference between the two, the replacement effect of recycled general fiber will be enhanced, and the price trend of recycled general fiber will be saved and withdrawn. Vibration. In the first half of 2022, the demand side performed poorly, and polyester staple fiber has been running at a loss for a long time.
