Industry Overview

The packaging industry is one of the leading consumers of plastic and accounted for nearly half of the plastic wastes market in 2015. This induced many packaging companies to shift their focus toward recycled plastics, thereby reducing their carbon footprint. Also, the growing consciousness about environment protection among consumers has prompted the packaging industry to adopt green and sustainable packaging solutions. In the US, companies are using recycled plastics in a wide range of applications such as the manufacturing of FDA approved food packaging plastic containers, bottles, closures, jars, engineered pumps, sprayers, and caps. Unilever Group has recently announced that all of its plastic packagings will be fully reusable, recyclable, and compostable by 2025. With the increasing adoption of reusable plastics in various applications, the recycled plastics market size will grow significantly during the forecast period.

Moreover, major recycled plastics market trends such as the rising demand for synthetic textiles will also influence market growth. Nylon and polyester fibers derived from recycled plastics are extensively used in the manufacture of apparel such as shirts, pants, jackets, hats, and home furnishings such as bed sheets, blankets, and other upholstered furniture fabrics. Polyester fibers have a high demand in the textile industry because of their cost-effectiveness, recyclability, superior strength, and flexibility. Despite the high price, nylon is increasingly being used in many applications including conveyor belts, ropes, carpets, parachutes, racquet strings, sleeping bags, and seat belts. The increasing use of nylon is expected to fuel the growth of the nylon filament market over the forecast period. This will have a positive impact on the global recycled plastics market size. As a result of these factors, the market will register a CAGR of close to 6% during 2019-2023.
