Abstract
Key areas covered in the report include
- UK plastics recycling market - volume of post- use plastic waste
recovered for reprocessing, UK reprocessors output by volume and by value,
overseas trade. Assessment of recent developments. Forecasts and key drivers
e.g. new capacity, closedloop recycling.
- Market mixes for recovered plastic by polymer type, by origin and by
end-use applications.
- Analysis of post-consumer plastic waste arisings by origin and by polymer
type.
- Overview of plastic consumption - mix & trends by polymer type and by
product application.
- Review of supply - market structure, identification and profiles of
leading reprocessors.
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.
