Purpose: rCB feedstock (end-of-life tyre) price index in GLOBAL caliber - Tier 1 global categories (scrap tyre collection price / tyre pyrolysis oil / crumb rubber / recovered steel wire / rCB) with region-by-region indices benchmarked to the global weighted average = 1000, plus Tier 2 region-specific categories (EU/US gate fee and TDF; CN rubber fuzz, rubber block, 900-mesh and 24-mesh powder). The first category is the scrap tyre collection price (G-ELT) - the single largest cost item for rCB producers. Guidelines: no arguments returns the global cross-section with region spreads; pass region (EU/US/CN/CA/IN) for that region's index across categories; pass category (G-TPO/G-CRB/G-WIRE/G-RCB) for one category's region comparison. Pair with get_feedstock_overview for arisings and processing paths, and get_rcb_index for layered rCB product prices. Limits: index values, region spreads and ratios only - absolute prices and source platforms are never disclosed because no official public statistics source exists for ELT feedstock prices worldwide; some regions are excluded from a category when the product caliber is not comparable (e.g. China's bead wire is a finished product vs the recovered mixed wire traded in the EU/US). Ex: 'global tyre pyrolysis oil price index vs China', 'crumb rubber price by region', 'which region has the highest TPO price'.
