The “India Plastic Recycling Market, By Type, (Polyethylene, Polypropylene, Polyvinyl Chloride, Polystyrene and Others), By Source, By Method, By End User, By Region, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, FY2027” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
“India Plastic Recycling Market, By Type, (Polyethylene, Polypropylene, Polyvinyl Chloride, Polystyrene and Others), By Source, By Method, By End User, By Region, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, FY2027”
India plastic recycling market is projected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period, 2023-2027. Green-hydrogen – Plastic-Recycling
The market growth can be attributed to the increasing production of plastic and rising demands for the same across various end user industries. Besides, increasing government investments in the recycling process and machinery coupled with the growing application of lightweight plastic components are some of the factors propelling the growth of the India plastic recycling market.
Plastic trash and its growing accumulation on landfills and ocean pose a serious environmental danger. Plastic components lack the ability to biodegrade and survive for many years. Plastic waste is dumped into bodies of water, where it is carried deep into the oceans and seas, where it is either swallowed by larger marine life or traps smaller marine life.
Advances in research for efficient utilization of plastic and growing environmental awareness about plastic waste are also fueling the growth of the India plastic recycling market during the forecast period.
Plastic recycling is the process of reusing and reprocessing plastic to create new products and other valuable items while minimizing the amount of waste being produced. The practice is expanding quickly to reduce reliance on landfills, conserve resources, and safeguard the environment from plastic waste and greenhouse gas emissions. Active recycling is done with plastics like polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polystyrene (PS), etc.
In India, the weight of garbage build-up on landfills is growing, fueling the demand for plastic recycling and expanding the country’s plastic recycling market over the next five years. The country’s rising waste generation from the household, industrial, and commercial sectors is mostly to blame for the country’s declining ecology.
The total amount of plastic garbage produced in FY2020 was 3,469,780 tons.
Additionally, the country’s conditions for producing plastic garbage were made worse by the recent pandemic emergency. With increased single-use product consumption and disposables made of plastic, the generation of plastic has increased during the past two years, which has generated a greater need for plastic recycling. Investments by market players to introduce new and improve plastic recycling technologies for reducing carbon footprint are also adding to the market growth. Green-hydrogen – Plastic-Recycling
The Indian government is making a lot of effort to reduce pollution brought upon by plastic garbage. The wastewater management criteria support the Yamuna Bachao Andolan and other environmental measures developed by the Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC). If these requirements are met, the filthy water in Delhi will be cleaned.
Further supporting the expansion of the India plastic recycling market over the next five years are government programs like the Swachh Bharat Mission and the prohibition of single-use plastic items by 2022 under the authority of the Plastic Waste Management Amendment Rules, 2021.
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is expected to hold the highest share in the India plastic recycling market, owing to the easy and cost-efficient recycling process and growing PET use in most plastic products.
-Program to beef up plastics recycling
A joint working group consisting of industrial associations, plastics producers and recyclers has initiated a program to beef up the recycling of flexible plastics in China, a move experts believe will reduce waste and help with national climate targets.
Launched by the Green Recycled Plastics Supply Chain Joint Working Group and the plastic recycling branch of the China National Resource Recycling Association in Beijing on Thursday, the program aims to build up a recycling system across the entire industrial chain of flexible plastic packaging. Green-hydrogen – Plastic-Recycling
By 2025, the system is expected to help annually recycle 50,000 metric tons of packaging.
The working group was established in 2020 by the recycling association, the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation, and 16 other companies, including the China Petrochemical Corp.
As the world’s largest plastics producer and consumer, over 60 million tons of waste plastic is generated every year in China and only around 30 percent is recycled, according to the two organizations.
Due to the low return value of recycling, roughly 43 million tons of waste plastic was incinerated or landfilled, the production of which used up some 76 million tons of high-quality crude oil.
Zhou Yunfei, director of the office for the program, said that starting from pilot and demonstration projects, the program will be gradually extended to first, second and third-tier cities across the country by 2025.
Li Jinghong, a professor from Tsinghua University’s Department of Chemistry and an academician at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said the recycling of flexible plastic is always a challenge.
The proportion of flexible plastic that is recycled is far below the average level for all plastic products, he said. In addition to its low return value in recycling, its high possibility of becoming tainted and low consumer awareness of recycling are also factors to blame.
Wei Honglian, chief engineer of China Solid Waste and Chemicals Management, an affiliate of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, spoke highly of the program’s design.
The disposal of waste plastic via incineration and landfills has not only resulted in a huge waste of resources, but also prevented the unleashing of their potential through recycling to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, he said.
China aims to peak carbon dioxide emissions before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality before 2060. Green-hydrogen – Plastic-Recycling
Based on certain types of flexible plastic packaging, the program intends to choose pilot cities to promote the construction of recycling and utilization systems, in an effort to explore viable paths to optimize the entire industrial chain.
“The program is well-designed and also very forward-looking, with its focuses on bottlenecks and difficulties in plastic pollution control,” he said.
-Treofan Terni could start again
Two buyers for the Umbrian site of Jindal, which has declared its willingness to sell the BOPP film production plants as well.
There are two offers on the table of the consultant who is dealing with the sale of the former Treofan plant in Terni, which the Indian group Jindal decided last year to divest (read the article). Green-hydrogen – Plastic-Recycling
At the end of a meeting held before Christmas at the Ministry of Business and Made in Italy (MIMIT), it was announced that the two potential buyers will present the industrial plans for the revitalization of the Terni site in two weeks’ time, thus giving substance to the proposal . According to rumors it would be the HGM company, active in electronics and telecommunications, and the entrepreneur Stefano Bandecchi.
The novelty is that Jindal has declared its willingness to sell, in addition to the plant, also the plants to restart production. Before closing, Treofan extruded biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) film for packaging on three lines.
By the first half of January, subject to verification by Treofan’s advisor, the operation will be examined by the crisis table coordinated by MIMIT with local institutions.
-Stabilizer for polyamides in E/E
Brüggemann has introduced Bruggolen TP-H2217, an electrically neutral heat stabilizer that does not induce corrosive effects on metal components.
Bruggemann Bruggolen TP-H2217The German company Brüggemann has introduced the plastic additive Bruggolen TP-H2217 on the market, part of a new family of electrically neutral heat stabilizers.
Developed specifically for reinforced and unreinforced aliphatic polyamides containing metal- and halogen-free flame retardants, this grade is suitable for use in electrical and electronic applications, including electric mobility, as it does not induce corrosive effects on metallic components, such as overmolded sensors, and does not significantly affect the electrical properties of the material.
