Europe Recycled Plastics Market Size and Forecasts (2020-2030)

According to our latest study on “Europe Recycled Plastics Market Forecast to 2030 – Regional Analysis – by Type, Source, and Application”, the Europe recycled plastics market size accounted for US$ 11.53 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 15.13 billion by 2030; the market is estimated to record a CAGR of 3.5% from 2022 to 2030. The report highlights key factors driving the Europe recycled plastics market growth and prominent players along with their developments in the market.

In Europe, the demand growth of recycled plastics is majorly driven by its utilization in several end-use industries, including automotive, building & construction, packaging, and electrical & electronics. Europe policymakers are highly focusing on recycling targets and measures and are supporting the industry toward reaching targets. However, there are a few challenges that European plastic recycler faces, such as unstandardized and poor product recyclability and the volatility in customer demand. Further, many institutes and universities across Europe are conducting studies on various aspects of recycled plastics, including material science, recycling technologies, and the environmental impact of plastics. Rising investment in advanced recycling technologies presents potential growth opportunities for plastics recycling companies in Europe.

The European automotive sector has a significant stake in boosting the circular economy and sustainability. Government regulations pertaining to circular economy and sustainable growth have encouraged automobile manufacturers to recover and recycle end-of-life vehicles. In 2022, Renault Group aimed to increase the recycled materials content in the production of automobiles. Further, high amounts of plastic packaging waste generated in European countries offer lucrative opportunities for plastic recycling companies. Recycled plastics are widely used in construction materials such as polyvinyl chloride windows, roofing tiles, fencing, and composites. According to Plastics Europe, in 2020, 45% of post-consumer recycled plastic was consumed by the construction sector in the EU, Norway, Switzerland, and the UK. Therefore, the rising adoption of recycled plastics in the automotive, packaging, and construction industries drives the demand for recycled plastics in Europe.

Biffa Plc, Remondis SE & Co KG, Veolia Environnement SA, Jayplas Ltd, Plastipak Holdings Inc, Recyclex SA, Enva UK Ltd, Vanden Recycling Ltd, 3P Plast srl, and CY Plastic Recycling are among the key players operating in the Europe recycled plastics market.
