Market Definition
Plastic recycling is a practice that addresses several environmental concerns like landfills, water pollution, environmental contamination, etc., associated with waste management & plastic pollution by reprocessing plastic into usable materials. This approach also facilitates the conservation of natural resources by producing plastic from scratch & minimizing landfill levels. The availability & active participation of several bottled water manufacturers & their intent to recycle plastic is crucially responsible for the accelerated demand for plastic recycling practices across Asia-Pacific.
Market Insights
The Asia-Pacific Plastic Recycling Market is projected to grow at around 6.4% CAGR during the forecast period, i.e., 2021-26. The growth of the market is driven primarily by the burgeoning adoption of plastic recycling activities throughout Asia-Pacific owing to the increasing focus of governments of different countries across the region on sustainable development, coupled with the urgent need to address environmental issues associated with massive plastic pollution.
In addition, the rising awareness among manufacturers about the advantages of using recycled plastics, like cost-effectiveness, environmental perks, flexibility, durability, and beneficial properties of plastics, such as impact resistance, excellent insulation, easy transformation & processing, strength, moisture resistance, etc., is another crucial aspect driving the plastic recycling market across the region.
Since recycled plastics have similar features to virgin plastics, their adoption is swiftly accelerating in automotive, textiles, packaging, construction, and other industries. Besides, the governments of China & India are laying out stringent regulations on plastic recycling in a suitable manner to reduce pollution & plastic waste into landfills or garbage dumps, which, in turn, is driving the market.

Impact of Covid-19 on the Asia-Pacific Plastic Recycling Market
The Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 had a decelerating effect on most industries across Asia-Pacific, and the Plastic Recycling Market was no exception since it witnessed several unprecedented challenges. With the imposition of stringent movement restrictions & lockdowns by governments of different countries across Asia-Pacific to curb the spread of this dreadful disease, the market observed disruptions in gathering plastic waste and processing operations like recycling since most manufacturing got shut.
Moreover, with supply chain disruptions, the distribution of raw materials & goods across several countries got hampered, which led to massive financial losses to the leading market players and reduced demand for plastic across different industries.
However, with the gradually reducing number of Covid-19 cases, governments of different Asia-Pacific countries uplifted restrictions and allowed recommencement of business operations, which enabled the market to recover from losses and regain its usual pace.
Nonetheless, in the coming years, the market is projected to generate remunerative growth opportunities for the leading players, with robust support from both private & public organizations inclining toward plastic recycling and reducing pressure from the overuse of fossil fuels & Green House Gas (GHG) emissions.
