According to a new report by Reports and Data, it is projected that the global food-grade recycled plastics market will reach USD 40.58 billion by 2027. In recent years, recycled plastics have gained significant importance due to increasing awareness about plastic disposal in landfills and the implementation of relevant policies. The market is being driven by the growing emphasis on manufacturing materials and methods associated with recycled plastics, as well as innovative recycling solutions developed by start-up companies.

However, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative impact on the market. One major impact is the difficulty in collecting raw materials due to staff shortages, resulting in delayed manufacturing of recycled plastics. Additionally, fire incidents in paper, waste, and plastic facilities have caused disruptions and shutdowns, further affecting market players. The pandemic has also caused delays in pickups for recycling and reduced charitable donations, leading to resource scarcity and potential market decline. Nevertheless, the outbreak has also created new opportunities for the application of food-grade recycled plastics, especially in food packaging for enhanced protection and increased shelf life.

Food-Grade Recycled Plastics Market: Drive factors

Factors Driving the Food-Grade Recycled Plastics Market:

  1. Increasing Awareness of Plastic Disposal: Growing awareness about the environmental impact of plastic waste and the need for sustainable waste management practices has led to a surge in demand for food-grade recycled plastics. Consumers and governments are actively seeking solutions to reduce plastic waste and promote recycling.
  2. Policy Formulation: The formulation and implementation of policies and regulations related to plastic waste management have played a significant role in driving the food-grade recycled plastics market. Governments worldwide are introducing measures to promote recycling, such as setting recycling targets, implementing extended producer responsibility (EPR) programs, and imposing restrictions on single-use plastics.
  3. Shift towards Circular Economy: The transition towards a circular economy, which focuses on reducing waste generation and maximizing resource utilization, has propelled the demand for food-grade recycled plastics. Companies are increasingly adopting circular economy principles by integrating recycled materials into their production processes and supply chains.
  4. Environmental and Health Concerns: Growing concerns about the environmental impact and potential health risks associated with conventional plastics have prompted consumers to seek safer and more sustainable alternatives. Food-grade recycled plastics offer a solution that addresses these concerns by providing a reliable source of packaging materials that meet regulatory requirements for food contact.

Overall, the food-grade recycled plastics market is driven by a combination of environmental awareness, regulatory measures, technological advancements, and shifting consumer preferences towards sustainable packaging solutions. These factors are expected to continue supporting the growth of the market in the foreseeable future.
