Market Segmentation
Plastic recycling is a process of collecting and re-using different types of plastic wastes. Before recycling, the waste and scrap plastic undergo a series of five stages that include sorting, washing, shredding, identification and classification of plastic, and extruding. Products manufactured from plastics are generally non-biodegradable, which can lead to various environmental concerns. Consequently, recycling plastics helps in reducing the amount of waste disposed at landfill sites, which in turn lowers the amount of greenhouse gas emissions released from landfills.
On the basis of plastic type, the global recycled plastics market is segregated into:
- Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET)
- High Density Polyethylene (HDPE)
- Polypropylene (PP)
- Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE)
- Others
Based on the raw material types, the industry is divided into:
- Plastic bottles
- Plastic films
- Rigid Plastic and Foam
- Fibres
- Others
The industry is majorly categorised on the basis of the application segment into:
- Non-Food Contact Packaging
- Food Contact Packaging
- Construction
- Automotive
- Others
