The global post-consumer recycled plastics market size was estimated at USD 13.2 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 30.0 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 10.6% from 2026 to 2033. The market's growth can be attributed to the surging adoption of sustainability measures by food & beverage and packaging companies to use recycled plastic materials.

Growing efforts by end users to advance a circular economy, along with the increasing adoption of recycled plastics in packaging, textiles, and other end-use industries, are anticipated to drive global demand for post-consumer recycled plastics during the forecast period.

Technological advancements in recycling to produce highly effective, advanced post-recycled plastics have been a major market driver. For instance, in October 2023, Repsol S.A. and Signode Industrial Group LLC launched a ready-to-use strap produced from a polypropylene (PP) composition containing 30% recycled content for utilization in high-tenacity applications.
