Global Plastic Recycling Market is projected to grow at an impressive rate through 2028 due to growing environmental concerns. In 2021, the total consumption of plastic in India amounted to approximately 18 million tonnes.

Plastic can contribute to environmental pollution and litter. These impacts may endanger both people and the environment. Additionally, if plastic is used correctly, it might be a good use of resources instead of manufacturing new ones. Therefore, it makes sense to recycle and reuse plastic to reduce waste. Recycling plastic involves collecting used plastic waste and turning it into functional plastic items. Approximately trillion pounds of plastic are produced and used globally. This huge volume of plastic is recycled to guarantee that it is not wasted. As an alternative, you might reprocess the raw materials to create new goods. As per recent studies, if the business continues in the usual manner for virgin plastic, 7.7 billion metric tonnes of plastic are expected to be improperly disposed of, burned, or released into the environment, between now and 2040.

Action must be taken to minimize plastic manufacturing, primarily through innovation, better product design, and the creation of ecologically friendly alternatives, as well as initiatives to enhance waste management and boost recycling. Reducing pollution will require international cooperation by recycling plastic.

Revolutionary Technical Advancement for Sustainable Development

Most plastics used today are virgin or produced from gas or crude oil. From 2000 to 2019, there has been a four-fold rise in the amount of recycled, or secondary, plastics produced globally, yet this still accounts for only 6% of all plastics produced. More efforts are required to create a distinct and well-diversified market for recycled plastics, which could be considered as the substitute market for virgin plastic. It could be done by investing in an improvement in recycling technologies and setting recycling targets which will reflect more demand for recycled plastic, making it more competitive and profitable. According to recent studies, only 9% of plastic waste is recycled (15% is collected for recycling, but 40% is disposed of as residue). Another 19% is incinerated, 50% ends up in landfill, and 22% evades waste management systems and goes into uncontrolled dumpsites, is burned in open pits, or ends up in terrestrial or aquatic environments, especially in poorer countries.

Recent Developments

  • In November 2022, LyondellBasell announced to build of an advanced recycling plant at Wesseling, Germany, site. This will be in collaboration with Moretec Technology, and this commercial-scale advanced recycling plant will convert pre-treated plastic waste into feedstock for new plastic production.
  • In June 2021, L'Oréal announced the creation of the first cosmetic bottle made entirely of recycled plastic using Carbios' enzymatic technology and plans to begin mass-producing the bottles based on this game-changing invention in 2025. The first brand in the group to introduce a product in this futuristic bottle would be Biotherm.
