The U.S. recycled styrenics market size was valued at USD 821.1 million in 2024 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2025 to 2030. Environmental regulations, the escalating cost of traditional styrenic resins, and increasing consumer preference for sustainable products are expected to propel market growth. The demand for recycled styrenics is expected to rise due to concerns about plastics pollution and product demand from various application industries such as packaging, automotive, electronics & electrical, building & construction, and furniture. Recycled styrenics offer a lower carbon footprint and support sustainability goals. Styrenics can be mechanically recycled using processes similar to those for other plastics, which include sorting, cleaning, and melting the material into flakes or pellets. These recycled materials can then be reused in the manufacturing of new products.
Recycled styrenics refer to styrene-based plastic that is reprocessed after its initial use; some of them include recycled polystyrene (rPS), Recycled Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (rABS), and Recycled Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (rSBS). Various companies are focusing on reducing the use of plastics and promote the use of recycled plastic at a major scale which will reduce carbon footprint. According to Gar plastics using recycled plastic instead of virgin plastic can reduce the carbon footprint by up to 50%. This helps reduce your products' start-to-finish environmental costs and is a sustainable solution for future generations.
The market presents numerous growth opportunities driven by the push for sustainable solutions, growing environmental regulations, and technological advancements. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has developed the National Recycling Strategy to enhance the nation's recycling infrastructure and promote a circular economy. This strategy emphasizes improving markets for recycled commodities, increasing the collection of recyclable materials, and enhancing policies to support recyclability.
