Final decision on open consultation on methodology review for PIX European Recovered Paper indices: pricing notice

Fastmarkets invited feedback from the industry on the pricing methodology for Recovered Paper Europe and Germany indices via an open consultation process between February 27 and March 27, 2025. This consultation was done as part of our published annual methodology review process.

Full details of the prices covered by this consultation can be found here.

No feedback was received during the consultation period and therefore no changes will be made to the methodology at this stage.

This open consultation sought to ensure that our methodologies continue to reflect the physical market under indexation, in compliance with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) principles for Price Reporting Agencies (PRAs). This includes all elements of our pricing process, our price specifications and publication frequency.
