REQUEST FREE SAMPLE PDF

The global recycled plastics market is likely to showcase a growth of around 7% during the forecast period. Global plastic production reached 460 million tons (Mt) in 2019, which has doubled from 234 Mt in 2000, showcasing a rapid increase in demand owing to population growth and higher incomes. In addition, during the same period, plastic waste generation has increased by 197 Mt surpassing the growth of plastic production. As a result, increasing the concern among the environmental bodies to control the production and use of primary plastic, hence promoting the use of recycled plastic. PET is one of the most widely used plastics today used in a range of industries including packaging foods and beverages especially convenience-sized soft drinks, juices, and water. Furthermore, it is completely recyclable and is the most recycled plastic worldwide. Moreover, companies across the globe are making efforts to promote sustainability thereby opting for a circular economy model, thus promoting the global plastic recycling business including recycled PET. For instance, in December 2020, PepsiCo Inc. announced that the company has set the target to eliminate all virgin plastic from its Pepsi brand beverage bottles sold in nine European Union markets by 2022. The company will package the entire range of beverages under that brand with plastics recycled from post-consumer packaging (recycled PET).
