U.S. Recycled Polyolefin Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Product, By Application (Plastic Bottles, Plastic Films, Polymer Foam, Others), By Source, And Segment Forecasts, 2025 - 2030
U.S. Recycled Polyolefin Market Summary
The U.S. recycled polyolefin market size was estimated at USD 8.01 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 13.52 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 9.2% from 2025 to 2030. The market is poised for growth due to increasing environmental awareness, stringent regulatory frameworks, and rising demand for sustainable materials across various industries.
As the country intensifies its focus on circular economy principles, the recycling of polyolefin-primarily polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) has gained momentum. These recycled materials are increasingly being integrated into manufacturing processes, reducing reliance on virgin plastics and minimizing environmental impact. The market benefits from advanced recycling technologies such as mechanical recycling and chemical recycling, which improve the quality and usability of recycled polyolefin.
The U.S. polyolefin market, especially thermoplastic polyolefins (TPOs), is expected to grow steadily due to increasing healthcare, automotive, and construction demand. Growing health awareness has led to higher use of polyolefin-based medical products such as masks, gloves, and protective gear, supporting consistent market growth. TPOs are valued for their durability, weather resistance, and recyclability, making them suitable for roofing, insulation, and automotive parts such as bumpers and dashboards. Additionally, the automotive industry's focus on lightweight materials to improve fuel efficiency and meet emissions standards is further boosting TPO demand.
A key factor supporting this growth is the significant use of recycled materials, which helps reduce the demand for virgin plastics and delivers substantial environmental benefits. In fiscal 2024, major U.S. recyclers purchased over 540 million pounds of recycled plastic, accounting for about 50% of their total plastic resin purchases. According to research by the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory in October 2023, advanced recycling methods such as pyrolysis can lower greenhouse gas emissions by up to 23% compared to traditional fossil-based plastic production. Moreover, using recycled plastics reduces fossil fuel consumption by 65% to 70% and cuts water use by nearly half.
