Post-Consumer Recycled Plastics Database

Industry Overview

The post-consumer recycled plastics market has witnessed significant growth in recent years, owing to rising environmental concerns and resource depletion. Post-consumer recycled plastics are utilized across various industries such as packaging, textiles, building & construction, automotive, electrical & electronics, and furniture & bedding. Post-consumer recycled plastics are more beneficial than virgin plastics with advantages such as reduced landfills, lower carbon footprint, cost-effectiveness, and reduced dependency on crude oil.

Asia Pacific dominated the post-consumer recycled plastics market, owing to rising demand from the building & construction industry. Countries across Asia Pacific, especially emerging economies such as China and India are major attracters for the market owing to the rising demand for affordable housing boosting the building & construction industry. Increasing investments in infrastructural development is also a major market booster. For instance, in 2023, the Government of India announced an investment of USD 1.20 billion in their annual budget announcement for urban infrastructure development.

Post-consumer recycled polypropylene (PP) resin offers superior chemical and mechanical properties, which make it suitable for use in various industries including consumer electronics. This recycled polypropylene resin is used to manufacture electric kettles owing to its durability, flexibility, and higher thermal resistance. In addition, its higher electrical resistance makes it suitable for manufacturing components for electrical & electronic devices. The rising demand for durable electrical & electronic devices is expected to propel the demand for post-consumer recycled polypropylene over the forecast period.
