3. APAC – The Asia-Pacific (APAC) region is expected to play a big part, around 43%, in the growth of plastic recycling by 2027. Analysts from Technavio have talked a lot about how things are going in different areas, like what’s driving growth and what problems might come up. One big reason for more plastic recycling in APAC is that more people are moving to cities there.
- As cities get bigger, more people want things like food and gadgets, which means more plastic. Because of this, governments and businesses in APAC are starting to do more recycling to deal with all the plastic waste. Some countries in the region are even making rules to cut down on how much plastic gets thrown away.
- APAC governments are also working on ideas like the circular economy, where things get used again instead of just thrown away. For example, in Japan, they passed a law in April 2022 to get more plastic recycled. This law is about using plastic more and more, and it’s helping to boost plastic recycling in APAC.
Research Analysis
In developed economies, the issue of plastic waste and pollution has gained significant attention. Downcycling of new plastics and the use of recycled materials have emerged as viable solutions to reduce the amount of plastic scraps ending up in landfills. Governments and public sectors have implemented tax incentives and funding to encourage plastic recycling.
Recycled plastics, such as high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and low-density polyethylene (LDPE), are increasingly used in consumer products, including consumer electronics like laptops, cellphones, and modems. Plastic design plays a crucial role in enhancing recycling rates.
The prohibition of single-use plastics and the promotion of recycled plastic use contribute to preserving aquatic biodiversity. The plastic recycling market continues to grow, offering sustainable alternatives to virgin plastics.
