Global Plastics Recycling Markets Report 2022: Plastics Recycling Process, Significant Market Trends, Recent Strategic Initiatives

DUBLIN, June 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Plastics Recycling: Global Markets" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

This report will be concerned with activities in four regions: North America, Europe, Asia, and the Rest of the World (Rest of the World). All figures are reported to the nearest million dollars or million lbs. Growth rates given are compound annual growth rates (CAGRs) for the period 2022-2027.

In 2019, the global plastics recycling industry rebounded back to nearly the level of 2017, before China started to ban its post-consumer plastics imports in January 2018. It was increased significantly from 2018.

There are two major sources of post-consumer plastics for recycling: nondurable products and durable products. Nondurable products are mostly plastic bottles, containers, and films. Durable products include plastics used in electronics, carpets, automotive products, and other industrial and commercial products.

Profile descriptions of the leading industry players, including Indorama Ventures, LyondellBasell, Teijin, JK Plastics, ACI Plastics and Phoenix Technologies LP.
