Via Lets Recycle, I see that WRAP's latest gate fee survey suggests that Local Authorities (and others) are receiving lower income for recyclate (notwithstanding the misleading headline).
Regular readers will know my view that we're heading for a sustained period of lower prices for both primary and secondary commodities and that this will inevitably lead to higher charges for waste producers.
This tells me that the principal driver for the currently in vogue 'circular economy' will continue to be regulation and government intervention rather than market dynamics. And waste producers will just have to get used to higher bills for their waste.
