Global Plastic
Recycling Market: Snapshot
Recycling plastic
waste is a complex issue to which no real solution has proven to be
completely effective and environmentally responsible. Many recycling
techniques have in fact proven to be rather expensive, energy
inefficient, and as harmful to the environment, if not more, as
plastic itself. The global population continues its exponential rise
and economic and industrial activities thrive at an even faster rate.
This has made the issue of recycling plastic waste, which accounts
for a large portion of total waste generated on everyday basis from
several sources, is becoming increasingly severe. Thus continuous
research activities are being undertaken across the globe with an aim
of finding an effective method of recycling plastic waste or gaining
something beneficial from the process.

to the report, the global plastic recycling market will register a
promising 6.9% CAGR over the period between 2016 and 2024, rising
from a valuation of US$31.5 bn in 2015 to a revenue opportunity of
US$56.8 bn by 2024.
Demand for Recycled
PET and HDPE Plastics to Remain High
The report segments
the global plastic recycling market based on criteria such as source,
material, and application. Based on material, the market has been
segmented into high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polypropylene (PP),
polyethylene terephthalate (PET), low-density polyethylene (LDPE),
polystyrene (PS), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), acrylonitrile butadiene
styrene (ABS), nylon, and polycarbonate. Owing to the rising global
consumption of recycling PET and HDPE plastic products, these
segments are likely to retain dominance in the overall market.
Based on
application, the market has been expanded into packaging,
construction, automotive, textile, consumer goods, and industrial. Of
these, the segment of packaging is expected to serve the most demand
for recycled plastic owing to the thriving expansion of the packaging
industry and the several mandates compelling the industry to adopt
more environment-friendly processes and ways to cut-down on its
carbon footprint. The construction segment is also increasingly
becoming a notable consumer of recycled plastic and is likely to
account for a notable share in the overall market by the end of the
report’s forecast period.
Asia Pacific to
Remain Most Lucrative Regional Market as Imports of Plastic Waste
Increase
Based on geography,
the report examines the plastic recycling market for regions such as
Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East
and Africa. The market in Asia Pacific is likely to account for the
dominant share in the overall market, China expected to contribute to
nearly 50% of the global market alone by the end of the forecast
period. Asia Pacific is also the leading importer of recycled plastic
scrap, with India also accounting for a notable share in the regional
market. The region has well-established infrastructure for parings
and converting plastic scrap into resins for using them further for a
number of applications. Abundant labor pool and lenient regulations
also bode well for the regional market.

The market in Europe
is also likely to exhibit a promising pace of expansion over the
forecast period owing to the strict regulations regarding the reuse
of recyclable plastics in the region. The region is presently
recycling nearly 4.4 mn tons of plastic waste every year owing to the
several regulations that put a ban on discarding plastic waste into
landfills. Moreover, the rising awareness regarding the need to
recycle for the protection of environment also works well for the
regional market.
The vendor landscape
of the global plastic recycling market is highly fragmented and
features a large number of unstructured, small players in the largely
unorganized market in several emerging and underdeveloped economies
across the globe. International companies seeking entry into these
emerging economies, which possess vast growth opportunities due to
rising populations and swelling use of plastic products for daily
necessities, are focusing on ways of consolidating and organizing
these markets through strategic collaboration. Some of the leading
companies in the global plastic recycling market are KW plastics,
Kuusakoski Oy, Envisison Plastics, and Plasgran Ltd.
