NEW YORK, Dec. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:

Plastic Bottle Recycling - Worldwide Market Trends

http://www.reportlinker.com/p0164562/Plastic-Bottle-Recycling---Worldwide-Market-Trends.html

The consumption graph of plastics across the globe is increasing swiftly, owing to the enhanced benefits displayed by plastics over other heavier metals. With plastics finding application in a wide range of manufacturing industries, recycling of the material is of critical importance from the environment's point of view. Issues such as depleting ozone layer, emission of harmful gases, growing concern about the waste management have all propelled plastic bottle recycling market.

Capacity to recycle plastics and demand for recycled plastics continue to grow and exceed the volume of waste plastics collected each year. Even as the volume of recycled bottles continue to surge, the rate of recycling remains steady indicating a parallel surge in using plastic bottles to pack a wider range of products. Recycled PET is predominantly consumed as fiber for textiles and carpets, while recycled HDPE is consumed in the manufacture of bottles. New end-use applications such as corrugated paper coating, waterproof shipping containers and other food packaging, impel the demand growth for recycled PET. Growing popularity of plastic lumber and garden plastic products such as chairs and fences impel the growth of recycled HDPE plastics.

These and other market data and trends are presented in "Plastic Bottle Recycling: Worldwide Market Trends" by BizAcumen, Inc. Our reports are designed to be most comprehensive in geographic coverage and vertical market analyses.
