The Europe recycled plastics market size accounted for US$ 11.53 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 15.13 billion by 2030; the market is estimated to record a CAGR of 3.5% from 2022 to 2030.
The recycled plastics materials include polypropylene, polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, and polyethylene terephthalate. The utilization of recycled plastics is majorly driven by several end-use industries, including automotive, building & construction, packaging, and electrical & electronics. The manufacturing companies provide recycled plastic to other companies in different industries such as automotive and building & construction. Plastic is recycled using recycling technologies such as mechanical recycling or chemical recycling. Mechanical recycling is a commonly used technology wherein plastics are melted and reprocessed into new plastic products. Chemical recycling involves the breakdown of plastics at the scale of their chemical constituents, enabling the formation of high-quality recycled materials.
Based on source, the Europe recycled plastics market is segmented into residential waste, commercial waste, and industrial waste. The industrial waste segment accounted for the largest Europe recycled plastics market share in 2022. Industrial waste comprises electrical and electronic wastes, plastic coverings and enclosures, and non-food packaging. Industrial waste generally includes many types of materials, including plastic, metal, composites, wood, paper, and fiber depending on the type of operations and manufacturing process. Therefore, sorting and pre-processing of industrial waste form crucial steps of recycling process. Industrial waste can generally contain toxins, contaminants, additives, pigments, and other hazardous chemicals.
Based on country, the Europe recycled plastics market is segmented into countries such as Germany, France, Italy, the UK, Netherlands, and the Rest of Europe. Germany accounted for the largest Europe recycled plastics market share in 2022. The growing demand for recycled plastics from industries such as packaging, automotive, building and construction, consumer goods, and others is driving the recycled plastics market growth in Germany. According to Germany Trade & Investment, in 2021, the automotive sector reported a turnover of US$ 407.76 billion, which is around 20% of total German industry revenue. The demand for vehicles made in the country is growing consistently. Germany marks the presence of Mercedes-Benz AG, Bayerische Motoren Werke AG, Audi AG, and Volkswagen AG. Growing utilization of recycled plastics-based automotive components and government initiatives for regulating plastic waste would create potential business opportunities for the recycled plastics market in Germany. Moreover, increasing demand for green construction materials due to rising preference for sustainable construction supports the market growth in the country.
