The increased demand for recycled plastics from the packaging industry is notably driving the post-consumer recycled plastics market growth, although factors such as low recycling rate of plastics may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the post-consumer recycled plastics industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Post-consumer Recycled Plastics Market Driver
One of the key factors driving growth in the post-consumer recycled plastics market is the increased demand for recycled plastics from the packaging industry. Many industries are adopting green and sustainable solutions, with the increase in awareness about healthy living. Therefore, consumers are using post-consumer recycled post-consumer recycled plastics. Hence, considerable attention is being drawn to plastic recycling. The packaging industry uses post-consumer recycled plastics substantially. With the growing awareness among consumers about environmental protection, the packaging industry is shifting to the use of post-consumer recycled plastics. This has drastically driven the packaging industry to switch to recycled plastic for reducing the carbon footprint and contributing to a green environment. Post-consumer recycled plastics are also useful in increasing shelf life and offering product protection. Thus, with an increase in the adoption of green options in various applications in day-to-day businesses, the global post-consumer recycled plastics market is expected to grow at a significant pace during 2022-2026.
Key Post-consumer Recycled Plastics Market Trend
The rise in awareness about using recycled plastics through social media is another factor supporting the post-consumer recycled plastics market share growth. Plastic is hazardous to the environment. Every year, more than 300 tons of plastic is produced globally, of which 8-10 million tons of plastic is dumped in oceans. Plastic waste has been drawing attention globally. Marine life, as well as terrestrial life, is considerably affected by the dumping or incineration of plastics. Many associations and non-governmental organizations, such as The Association of Plastic Recyclers, 5 Gyres, Recycling of Used Plastics Limited (RECOUP), have undertaken the initiative of promoting the use of recycled plastics through social media by sharing videos and pictures of its effect on the environment. Furthermore, the use of hashtags across media platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, is adding significantly to the promotion of solutions for a green environment. Government campaigns that are promoted over social media contribute to the demand for recycled plastics. Easy access to social media and an increase in awareness about the negative impact of nondegradable plastics is creating a positive impact on the global post-consumer recycled plastics market.
Key Post-consumer Recycled Plastics Market Challenge
The low recycling rate of plastics will be a major challenge for the post-consumer recycled plastics market during the forecast period. Plastic is inexpensive and possesses versatile properties that render it ideal for a wide range of applications. It is produced by transforming petroleum and natural gas into their constituent monomers; therefore, its decomposition rate is negligible, which makes it an unsustainable waste. To reduce the impact of plastics on the environment, plastics recycling is promoted by governments across the world. However, recycling rates have been low. The separation of different plastic polymers is an additional challenge, which lowers the recycling rates of plastics. Furthermore, new plastic tends to be of much better quality than recycled plastics. The high cost of recycling, tedious polymer separation methods, and poor quality of recycled plastics lead to low recovery rates of consumed plastic wastes. This is one of the major challenges faced by the global post-consumer recycled plastics market, which would negatively affect market growth.
This post-consumer recycled plastics market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2022-2026.
