As per a McKinsey report, if plastics demand follows its current trajectory, global plastic waste volumes would grow from260 million tons per year in 2016 to 460 million tons per year by 2030, taking what is already a serious environmentalproblem to a whole new level.
As per an article by Fortune Business Insights, the global recycled plastic market size was US$ 55.46 billion in 2024 isprojected to grow to USD 107.13 billion by 2032. Favourable initiatives to promote the use of recycled plastics indeveloped countries, growing acceptance of recycled plastics consumption in the textile industry as fibers in developingcountries of the Asia Pacific, and cost effective, sophisticated recycling technologies are some of the key factors driving theglobal recycled plastics market.
The Indian plastics industry has been developing fast with market growth and diversification in recent years. Latest marketreports indicate that the industry is the likely to be increasing in total exports of the Plastic raw materials. According to theDirectorate General of Commercial Intelligence and Statistics (DGCIS) of India, the Indian plastics industry hosts more than2,000 exporters.
Recycled plastic is scrap or waste plastic materials that are processed and re-purposed into useful products. Since most ofthe polymer materials used globally are non-biodegradable, recycling these materials is the solution to reduce the burdenof polymers present in the environment. Furthermore, increasing restrictions on the usage of single use polymers andinitiatives taken by governments in Europe, China, India and Brazil are expected to promote recycling on fast-track basis.For instance, the European Union has prohibited single use plastic polymer products since 2021. Moreover, the shift of enduse industries, especially packaging and consumer goods, towards sustainable or recyclable materials will drive marketgrowth. Further, the innovation and development of products, including packaging bottles, films, containers, and cutleryusing post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastics will provide huge opportunities for the market in the future.
Many Industries are regularly modifying the Plastic to make it environment friendly. In India, Plastic has a higher edge interms of Trust, Ability and Technology to leverage the global market. Corporate Houses are vigorously innovating &competing to provide the most efficient Plastics for making manufacturing easier, recyclable and more cost effective.However, for the corporate sector, recycling plastic is also a complicated issue. There are so many different grades ofplastic, each requiring their own recycling processes. Some non-durable plastic types are not even recyclable in acommercially viable manner.
Currently, India generates 26,000 tonnes of Plastic Waste every day. Even though they have such great advantages, thegovernment and many Environmental Activists are calling for a ban on Plastics. For tackling the menace of Plastic Waste inIndia, the Government has completely banned import of Solid Plastic waste/ scrap in the Country. However, the veryproperties that make Plastic so dangerous - its durability and long lifespan - also make it a great asset. Plastic is such amaterial that can be constantly recycled. This helps Ecology and the Economy, especially when the human population isgrowing rapidly, and our lifestyle demands are increasing exponentially. The solution is not to Ban Plastic, but to ensurethat it is used responsibly and recycled properly. India generates around 9.3 million tons of plastic waste each year, whichis about 0.12 kilograms per person per day. This makes India the world's largest producer of plastic waste, according to astudy published in Nature.
Meanwhile, there are around 30,000 plastic processing units of which 85-90% are small and medium-sized enterprises,over 7000 recycling units and numerous end-users, which ensure an effective industry chain in the country. Theseenterprises employ more than 4 million people. The Government of India intends to take the plastic industry from acurrent level of Rs. 3 lakh crore (US$ 37.8 billion) of economic activity to Rs. 10 lakh crore (US$ 126 billion) in four-five years.

Future Prospects
Plastics are lightweight, durable and inexpensive materials that can be molded into a diverse variety of products. As a result,production of plastics has increased manifold over the past few decades. However, their current usage has also led to thegeneration of a huge amount of waste, resulting in major environmental concerns. The landfill is the conventional methodfor waste disposal; however, landfill area has become scarce in many countries. Although this method has limitedenvironmental impacts, there are long-term risks of contamination of soil and groundwater associated with it, thuspolluting the natural environment.
Plastic recycling is the reprocessing of plastic waste into new and useful products. When performed correctly, this canreduce dependence on landfills, conserve resources and protect the environment from plastic pollution and greenhousegas emissions. Furthermore, consistent support from the government and increasing penetration of recycled plasticproducts is presenting lucrative opportunities for the global plastic recycling market. A major opportunity lies in increasinguse of recycled plastics to other industries and its market is forecasted to grow even more in the following years.
Plastic recycling is a mechanical and chemical process of recovering plastic waste or scrap discarded during the productionof plastic products (pre-consumer plastic waste) or after the use of these products by consumers (post-consumer plasticwaste). It is cost effective process and helps decrease carbon emissions.
The global plastic recycling market is projected to grow from an estimated $42.4 billion in 2024 to $57.9 billion by 2029,exhibiting a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 6.4%. Plastic recycling is the process of retrieving waste or usedplastic materials and converting them into new products. Plastic waste is collected, sorted, cleaned, and processed in thisprocess to produce a new material that can be utilized to make other products. The major objective of plastic recycling is todecrease the amount of plastic waste that ends up dumping grounds and oceans and to conserve natural resources byusing recycled plastic instead of new plastic. These programs promote recycling plastic bags to mitigate landfill hazards.People are also increasingly preferring to recycle plastic products to reduce waste. It is a crucial aspect of wastemanagement and environmental conservation efforts. Several key factors are driving the plastic recycling market.
The rising awareness of the negative impacts of plastic waste on the environment, such as ocean pollution and harm towildlife, is one of the major factors driving the growth of the market. Due to this, there is now more demand for plasticrecycling as a means of reducing plastic waste and lowering its environmental impact. The growing desire by consumersand businesses for environmentally friendly and sustainable goods is another factor driving the plastic recycling industry.Recycled plastic is increasingly being used in goods by many businesses, which has increased demand for the material.
