Global Post-consumer Recycled Plastic Market Forecast (2025–2035):
According to recent analysis, the global post-consumer recycled plastic market is expected to grow from USD 67.2 Billion in 2025 to USD 188.1 Billion by 2035, with a strong CAGR of 10.8% during the forecast period. This growth is fueled by increasing sustainability mandates, circular economy efforts and industry-wide attempts to lower dependency on virgin plastics.
The worldwide post-consumer recycled plastic market is likely to achieve stable growth as stricter packaging regulations drive demand, chemical recycling processes evolve, and utilization in food & beverage, cosmetics, and e-commerce increases. For Instance, Amcor plc has launched packaging that is made from more than 50% PCR content for snack brands in Europe, while achieving food grade certification as well as lower carbon emissions.
This strategy has enhanced and strengthened Amcor’s collaborations with FMCG companies who are looking to meet packaging recycling targets while improving brand reputations through the use of sustainable packaging solutions that position the company as a key partner in driving sustainable material innovation worldwide.
“Key Driver, Restraint, and Growth Opportunity Shaping the Post-consumer Recycled Plastic Market Forecast
The growth of the post-consumer recycled plastic market globally is being pushed forward by the increasing demand for sustainable packaging and the circular economy. Recycled plastics help divert waste from landfills, save resources, and meet legislation limiting single-use plastics. For instance, Unilever, in 2024, launched 100% PCR plastic bottles for its Dove and Sunlight brands in Southeast Asia showing their commitment to moving towards sustainability in accordance with consumer demands for conscious forms of packaging.
One of the main challenges is there is a fragmented collection and recycling infrastructure that leaves consumers inconsistently with the quality and volume of supply. The place of feedstock and the level of contamination has clear implications on operational processes costs and efficiency. For Instance, in 2023, Veolia was limited in production at one of its plants in Europe, due to bad quality input material which resulted in higher processing fees and subsequently the amount of supply they could provide packaging companies.
With increasing regulations companies are using advanced recycling methods including chemical recycling, and sorting and streaming choices using AI, without the intervention of a person. Companies are also including recyclers in partnerships to secure fixed supply chains which will allow for broader use of high-quality recycled plastics in the supply chain of packaging and goods production.
