AMA Research have published a comprehensive review
entitled ‘Plastics Recycling Market.’ Incorporating original input and
primary research, the report provides a comprehensive and informative
review of this developing market. The report contains a detailed
assessment of the plastics recycling market, with interpretation of
recent and future developments, key influencing factors, product trends
and opportunities.
Of
particular interest:
-
Expansion of UK
plastic reprocessing capacity
with a key focus on HDPE and PET ‘bottle-to-bottle’ recycling, also
plastics from the ELV and WEEE streams.
-
Increased levels of
use of PET and HDPE recyclate among leading plastic packaging and
beverage manufacturers.
-
Substantial year on
year increase
in PET and HDPE bottle collections.
-
Significant increase
in PVC recycling volumes
through Recovinyl initiative.
-
Shift in focus
towards recycling mixed packaging waste ELV and WEEE plastics.
-
Anticipated shift in
focus towards PP closed loop reprocessing.
-
Recent
implementation of key legislation to drive up plastic recycling
volumes from the WEEE, ELV, agricultural and construction waste
streams.
