Europe Plastic Recycling Market Introduction and Overview

According to SPER Market Research, the Europe Plastic Recycling Market is estimated to reach USD XX Billion by 2033 with a CAGR of 4.8%.

The report includes an in-depth analysis of the Europe Plastic Recycling Market, including market size and trends, product mix, applications, and supplier analysis. Plastic materials that have experienced a transformation process—in which waste plastic is gathered, sorted, cleaned, and turned into new, useable products—are referred to as recycled plastic. The plastic is broken down into tiny pieces, melted, and then reshaped into different forms, such fibres, bottles, and containers. This recycling method lessens the demand for the manufacturing of virgin plastic, keeps plastic trash out of landfills, and conserves natural resources.

  • October 2020: Nestle and Plastic Energy collaborated to assess the potential for the UK's first commercial large-scale facility. The recycling process developed by Plastic Energy provides a novel and environmentally friendly supply of premium recycled materials that can be included into Nestle goods.

Market Opportunities and Challenges

Opportunities: 
Technological Developments in Plastic Recycling: Technological developments are always viewed as a chance to broaden the market because they will inevitably lead to improved and superior products as well as cost and energy savings, among other benefits. Modern recycling incorporates a variety of cutting edge technologies, including sophisticated sorting systems, mechanical recycling, and chemical recycling. In addition to assisting in overcoming obstacles like contamination and limited recyclability, this will help achieve a more effective and efficient recycling process and even produce higher-quality recycling goods.

Transitioning to a Circular Economy: An economic approach known as the "circular economy" aims to maximise resource utilisation, lessen waste, and encourage sustainability. Planning for waste and pollution is necessary in order to keep resources and objects in use for as long as possible by utilising strategies like recycling, reuse, and repair. The circular economy seeks to disentangle resource consumption from economic growth by encouraging regenerative behaviours, reducing reliance on finite resources, and closing the material flow loop. It aims to create a system where resources are used efficiently, waste is decreased, and the environment is protected in order to reap long-term economic, social, and environmental advantages.

Challenges: 
Exorbitant Production Costs for Recycled Plastics: Plastic recycling faces many obstacles, one of which is that recycling plastic is more expensive than producing plastic from virgin ingredients. The difficulties in recycling are related to the intricate process of separating and processing plastic trash, as well as the wide range of plastic types. Geographically distributed garbage generation is one potential cause driving up the cost of producing recovered plastics. Plastic garbage is produced at various locations, which presents a significant difficulty for waste collection. Furthermore, recycling plastics is less financially viable when waste is sourced from remote locations due to the high expenses associated with collection and transportation.

High Installation Cost and Operational Errors: Recycling plastics presents challenges like high costs due to complex sorting processes and geographically dispersed waste generation, reducing economic feasibility.

COVID-19 Impact on Europe Plastic Recycling Market
The COVID-19 epidemic affected the European market for recycled plastics in both positive and negative ways. Positively, the epidemic raised consumer awareness of environmental effects of plastic waste and sustainability, which in turn raised demand for recycled plastic-based sustainable products. On the other hand, supply chain interruptions, a decline in production, and unstable economic conditions had a detrimental effect on the recycling sector. The supply of feedstock was hampered by recycling facility closures and a decline in the collecting of plastic waste. Long-term prospects for the European recycled plastics business are positive despite immediate obstacles, thanks to a persistent emphasis on sustainability and the circular economy.
