The global multi-layer film recycling market size was estimated at USD 45.43 Million in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 82.95 million by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 7.8% from 2025 to 2033. The market represents a critical evolution within the broader plastic waste management sector, focusing on films made from combined materials such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyamide (PA), and aluminum foils.

These films are widely used in food, beverage, personal care, agriculture, and industrial packaging due to their superior barrier properties, lightweight design, and cost efficiency

Growing environmental concerns, coupled with stricter regulatory frameworks targeting single-use plastics and non-recyclable packaging, have accelerated the demand for innovative recycling technologies for multi-layer films. Chemical recycling, solvent-based separation, compatibilizers, and pyrolysis are increasingly being explored as viable methods to close the loop on difficult-to-recycle laminates. This positions the market at the intersection of packaging innovation and circular economy goals.
