What Is The Size Of Global Recycled Plastic Industry?
Global Recycled Plastic market is growing at a CAGR of ~% in 2017-2022 and is expected to reach ~USD Bn by 2028F.
The Recycled Plastic Market is largely driven by the growing acceptance of recycled plastics in the textile industry and the shift of the packaging industry from virgin plastics to recyclable materials.
Increasing demand for recycled plastic products from the packaging industry is expected to boost the growth of the recycled plastic market worldwide. Eco-friendly packaging products are becoming more popular as most of the key players in the market are opting for sustainable packaging designs. The most common type of plastic used in the packaging of food products is PET, which is known for showing the highest recycling rate.
Growing usage of recycled plastics in the textile industry is one of the factors driving the growth of the market in developing countries. Recycles PET (rPET) is the most widely recycled resin in fiber applications. The clothes made of recycled plastics not only provide high quality and texture but also, help in contributing to a sustainable environment.
Furthermore, the preference for virgin plastics over recycled alternatives acts as a restraint in the growth of the market. Virgin plastics have a significant advantage in terms of quality due to which these are highly preferred in applications requiring specific compositions of chemicals and additives, which is expected to hamper the market growth.
