What Are the Key Factors Contributing to Plastic Recycling Market Growth?
The increase in the consumption of plastics is expected to propel the growth of the plastic recycling market going forward. Plastics refer to synthetic organic polymers derived primarily from fossil fuels widely used in almost every sector of the modern economy due to their lightweight, low cost, durability, and versatility. Through plastic recycling processes waste or scrap plastic can be recovered into functional and useful products. For instance, in 2022, according to an article published by World Economic Forum, a Switzerland-based organization, estimated that 400 million tons of plastic waste are generated yearly across the world, and packaging accounts for approximately 36% of all plastic produced, with 85% ending up in landfills. Therefore, the increased consumption of plastics is propelling the growth of the plastic recycling market.
