On the basis of plastic type, the polyethylene terephthalate (PET) segment accounted for the most significant market share in 2020. The segment growth is attributed to the increased uses of recycled plastics in the manufacturing of containers, automobile parts, shoes, and luggage, among others.

Based on the application type, the non-food contact packaging segment dominated the recycled plastics market and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. It is widely used in industrial processing for the protection of the products from harsh weather conditions.

On the basis of raw material type, the plastic bottles segment is estimated to account for the largest market share as they are used in numerous applications such as storing carbonated drinks, medicines, and oils, among others.

Regionally, North America dominated the industry in 2020 owing to the increasing demand for recycled plastics and the growing government and organisational initiatives in the region.

Market Segmentation

Plastic recycling is a process of collecting and re-using different types of plastic wastes. Before recycling, the waste and scrap plastic undergo a series of five stages that include sorting, washing, shredding, identification and classification of plastic, and extruding. Products manufactured from plastics are generally non-biodegradable, which can lead to various environmental concerns. Consequently, recycling plastics helps in reducing the amount of waste disposed at landfill sites, which in turn lowers the amount of greenhouse gas emissions released from landfills.
