Plastic Waste Management Market by Service (Collection, Recycling), By Polymer Type (PP, LDPE), By Source (Residential, Commercial, Industrial), By End-Use Applications (Packaging, Building & Construction), Region - Global Forecast to 2024
Updated on : March 08, 2023
Plastic Waste Management Market
Plastic Waste Management Market was valued at USD 32.6 billion in 2019 and is projected to reach USD 37.9 billion by 2024, growing at a cagr 3.1% from 2019 to 2024. Factors such as economic growth, increasing urbanization, industrialization, and changing lifestyles of people have raised the levels of plastic waste generation, which has resulted in an increasing threat to the environment. The awareness about plastic waste management has increased significantly with the progress in consumer education and rising awareness about health & environment. The growing population and the growing income levels of people have generated new opportunities for the plastic waste management industry.
In terms of volume, the landfills segment is projected to lead the plastic waste management market from 2019 to 2024.
Based on service, the landfills segment is projected to dominate the plastic waste management market, in terms of volume, from 2019 to 2024. Presence of less number of recycling plants and incinerators leads to mismanagement of waste, contributing to the rise in plastic waste disposals and landfills.
In terms of value, the packaging segment in the recycled plastic waste market is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
Based on the end-use application, the packaging segment in the recycled plastic waste market is projected to grow at the highest CAGR, in terms of value, during the forecast period. Various benefits of recycled plastics (such as reduction of pollution and lesser dependence on fossil fuels) and its wide application in sustainable packaging solutions (such as containers, bottles, bags, films, and other protective packaging products) drive its demand.
In terms of value, the Asia Pacific plastic waste management market is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
The Asia Pacific plastic waste management industry is projected to grow at the highest CAGR from 2019 to 2024, in terms of value. The growing population, rising GDP, and increasing disposable income in Asia Pacific are leading to the generation of more solid waste (including plastic waste), which, in turn, is creating opportunities for the market in the region. Infrastructural development in under-developed and developing countries of Asia Pacific is driving the growth of various methods of plastic waste management in this region.
Key Market Players
Veolia Environnement (France), SUEZ (France), Waste Management, Inc. (US), Republic Services (US), Waste Connections Inc (Canada), Clean Harbors (US), Biffa (UK), Covanta Holding Corporation (US), Stericycle (US), and Remondis SE & Co. KG (Germany) are the key players operating in the plastic waste management market.
SUEZ is one of the key waste management service providers. It offers various services, such as collection & transportation of domestic & hazardous waste, treatment & storage, decontaminating, and marketing of recycled, secondary raw materials to help the municipalities, industries, and healthcare professionals in waste management. The company’s strong presence in the European market, along with its robust product & service portfolio, has helped it to establish a key position in the plastic waste management market. Its focus on growth strategies, such as expansions, contracts, new service developments, new product developments, joint ventures, and partnerships, will aid in its growth in the emerging and developed markets. For instance, in May 2018, SUEZ entered into a partnership with the French Confederation of Construction Tradesmen and Contractors (CAPEB) for raising awareness and knowledge among the construction contractors about improvement in the sorting and recovery of waste from building materials. This partnership also aimed at forecasting the co-development of solutions, which will enable construction specialists to meet the target set by France’s Energy Transition Law (for recovering 70% of building waste by 2020).
