Dublin, Sept. 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "India Plastic Recycling Market Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2020-2030F" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
India's Plastic Recycling Market achieved a market size of USD 2.18 billion in 2024, and is poised for strong growth during the forecast period, with a projected Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 10.76% through 2030.
Plastic waste has emerged as a significant environmental challenge, prompting global efforts towards sustainable waste management. India has taken a prominent role in this transformative journey, marked by a growing emphasis on plastic recycling.
The proliferation of plastic waste poses a severe threat to the environment, leading nations, including India, to intensify their efforts in effective plastic waste management. The Indian plastic recycling market has undergone noteworthy developments, driven by an increasing awareness of environmental sustainability and the imperative to reduce the environmental impact of plastic waste. Presently, there are 1,419 registered plastic waste processors operating in accordance with the Plastic Waste Management Rules.
India, as one of the largest global consumers of plastic, grapples with substantial challenges in managing its plastic waste. The current scenario involves a mix of informal and formal recycling processes, with a growing demand for recycled plastic materials across various industries. Around 34.7 lakh tonnes per annum (TPA) of plastic wastes was generated by India during 2019-20, as per the Ministry of Environment.
Technological advancements play a pivotal role in shaping the plastic recycling industry in India. Innovations, ranging from advanced sorting mechanisms to state-of-the-art recycling processes, are enhancing efficiency and scalability. Simultaneously, circular economy initiatives, including extended producer responsibility (EPR) programs, gain momentum as governments and corporations commit to taking responsibility for the entire lifecycle of plastic products.
The challenges within India's plastic recycling landscape are characterized by a fragmented infrastructure, encompassing both formal and informal players. This fragmentation poses difficulties in terms of standardization, regulation, and the overall efficiency of the recycling process. Maintaining the quality of recycled plastic materials remains a persistent challenge, with a priority placed on meeting industry standards for acceptance in various sectors.
Amidst these challenges lie significant opportunities. Rising consumer awareness about the environmental impact of plastic waste is driving demand for sustainable products. This presents a substantial opportunity for businesses engaged in plastic recycling. Government support through policy interventions, financial incentives, and regulatory frameworks is creating a conducive environment for the growth of the plastic recycling market in India.
Research plays a pivotal role in addressing existing challenges and unlocking new opportunities in the plastic recycling market. Key research areas include improving recycling technologies, developing sustainable packaging alternatives, and assessing the environmental and economic impact of plastic recycling initiatives.
India's plastic recycling market stands at a crucial juncture, necessitating sustainable solutions. This market overview underscores the evolving landscape and the critical role of research in shaping the future of plastic recycling in India. As the nation strives for a more sustainable and circular economy, collaborative efforts from government, industry players, and researchers are essential to drive positive change in the plastic recycling sector.
