The Middle East multi-layer film recycling market size was estimated at USD 2.06 million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 3.80 million by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 7.1% from 2025 to 2033. The market is steadily gaining traction as governments and regional industries are embracing circular economy initiatives in the region.
Multi-layer films are widely used across the region in food packaging, consumer goods, agriculture (such as greenhouse films and silage wraps), and industrial sectors. However, their complex structure-often combining polyethylene (PE), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyamide (PA), polypropylene (PP), and even foil layers-creates significant recycling challenges.
Growing waste volumes, coupled with limited landfill capacity and stricter regulations on single-use plastics, are pushing stakeholders in the Middle East to explore both mechanical and advanced recycling methods. Investments in plastic waste management infrastructure, particularly in the GCC countries, are expected to accelerate market development.
In addition, the Middle East is uniquely positioned to leverage its petrochemical base and technological collaborations for scaling multi-layer film recycling. Countries such as Saudi Arabia and the UAE are introducing national sustainability agendas, such as Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 and the UAE's Circular Economy Policy, which emphasize plastic waste reduction and recycling innovation.
Partnerships between global FMCG brands, local packaging converters, and recycling technology providers are beginning to establish pilot projects targeting flexible packaging waste streams. With demand for sustainable packaging solutions growing rapidly in the food, beverage, and agriculture sectors, the Middle East multi-layer film recycling market is poised for steady growth, supported by policy momentum and private sector investments.
