Global recycled polyethylene terephthalate (RPET) market is anticipated to grow significantly through 2028. The growing environmental awareness and paradigm shift towards more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives are expected to spur market growth through 2028. Additionally, the growing trend to minimize plastic usage and adopt sustainable alternative solutions in the packaging industry is further expected to spur market growth. Besides, various companies operating in the market are focusing on developing environmentally friendly packaging materials and on programs that help the reduction of waste from plastic packaging. For example, PepsiCo and Evian aim to recycle 75% of their packaging waste and 100% of their plastics by 2030 and 2025, respectively. Governments across the globe are taking initiatives to address these challenges. Polyethylene terephthalate, also called PET, is a clear, strong, lightweight, and 100% recyclable plastic. This material is a polymer produced by combining purified terephthalic acid and modified ethylene glycol. Recycled PET requires low energy consumption during production. Due to its lightweight, its transportation cost is also less. Additionally, Recycled PET is 75% more environmentally benign than virgin PET, which has a better ecological balance, according to a Swiss Climate study.
The growing awareness among the population towards adopting sustainable alternatives in order to protect the environment is expected to create lucrative opportunities for the growth of the recycled polyethylene terephthalate market. Plastic pollution is one of the major causes of different forms of environmental pollution. It is expected that the global plastic waste volume will reach 12 billion metric tonnes by 2050. Hence, it is required to effectively manage and reduce plastic waste. This has increased the focus on plastic recycling. Recycling rates are rising on account of growing awareness and aggressive attempts to eliminate plastic waste. The recycling rate of plastic packaging waste in the United Kingdom was around 44.2% in 2021.
Recycled PET is similar in characteristics and properties to PET, which is commonly used in packaging and various other applications like clothes, sheets & films, food & beverage containers, cushions, and automobile parts. The demand for recycled polyethylene terephthalate is primarily driven by the packaging demand created by the food & beverage industries. Additionally, various companies operating in the market have committed to implementing at least 50% of recycled plastic in packaging by 2030. This will, in turn, increase the demand for the food grade certified recycled polyethylene terephthalate market.
