According to IMARC Group’s latest report, titled “Recycled Plastics Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2017-2022”, the global recycled plastics market reached a value of around US$ 37 Billion in 2016. As plastic waste is non-biodegradable, it is essential to recycle plastic and reduce solid waste in the environment. Plastic recycling is the process in which selective scraps of plastic are reprocessed into new products instead of using virgin resin. This process includes collection of scraps, sorting, shredding, cleaning, melting and making of plastic pellets. This recycled plastic is then used in the manufacturing of several products such as toys, bags, plastic chairs, toothbrushes, etc.
Highlights of the global recycled plastics market:
- The rising awareness about carbon emissions among the consumers is the major driver of the market.
- On the basis of type, Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) accounts for the majority of the market share.
- North America holds the majority of the global share, representing the largest market.
The production of plastic emits huge amounts of carbon dioxide emission in the environment, thereby increasing the level of greenhouse gases in the air. Rising environmental awareness among the consumers worldwide is spurring the demand for recycled plastic products. Further, recycling of plastic reduces oil usage and the amount of discarded waste. On account of this, the recycled plastic market has witnessed a surge. Moreover, government initiatives in numerous countries aimed to reduce carbon emissions and non-biodegradable plastic waste are further contributing to the growth of the market. Owing to these factors, the market is anticipated to reach a value of US$ 51 Billion by 2022, registering a CAGR of 6% during 2017-2022.
