What Are The Major Factors Driving The Plastic Recycling Global Market Growth?
The rise in plastic usage is predicted to accelerate the expansion of the plastic recycling market in the future. The term ""plastics"" refers to synthetic organic polymers predominantly derived from fossil fuels and are extensively utilized in virtually all sectors of the contemporary economy due to their lightness, affordability, resilience, and adaptability. Waste or scrapped plastic can be ingeniously transformed into workable and useful items through plastic recycling procedures. As an example, a report by the World Economic Forum, a Swiss organization, projected in 2022 that there is annual production of 400 million tons of plastic waste worldwide and packaging constitutes nearly 36% of all plastics manufactured, with a whopping 85% ending up in landfills. Hence, the surge in plastic usage is driving the expansion of the plastic recycling market.
