North America Plastic Recycling Market Introduction and Overview
According to SPER Market Research, the North America Plastic Recycling Market is estimated to reach USD 9.15 billion by 2033 with a CAGR of 13.31%.
The report includes an in-depth analysis of the North America Plastic Recycling Market, including market size and trends, product mix, applications, and supplier analysis. The plastic recycling market is an important economic sector that involves the collecting, sorting, processing, and resale of plastic materials at the end of their life cycle. Its relevance lies in reducing the environmental impact of plastic waste by redirecting it away from landfills, so preserving natural resources and lowering greenhouse gas emissions related with virgin plastic manufacture. This market is run by a network of firms, including waste management companies, recycling facilities, and manufacturers who convert recycled plastics into new items. By supporting a circular economy strategy in which products are reused rather than discarded, the market not only solves environmental issues but also promotes sustainable development goals.
- November 2023; Eastman, a global specialty materials manufacturer, has announced the launch of its Advanced Circular Recycling facility in Kingsport, TN. This factory uses molecular recycling methods to convert waste plastics, such as polyethylene and polypropylene, into high-quality recycled materials for use in a number of industries, including cosmetic packaging and textiles.
- September 2022; LyondellBasell, a worldwide chemical corporation, has formed a joint venture with Suez, a global leader in environmental services, to develop chemical recycling capabilities in North America. This collaboration intends to improve post-consumer plastic waste recycling by employing novel technologies to convert plastic waste into new raw materials, resulting in a more sustainable plastic recycling infrastructure in the region.
Market Opportunities and Challenges
The opportunities occur as a result of the development and implementation of advanced recycling technologies that increase the efficiency and efficacy of plastic waste management procedures. Chemical recycling, which turns plastic waste into chemical building blocks for new plastics or other products, is a promising innovation for growing the market. Companies who invest in research and development to improve recycling methods and create value-added products from recycled plastics are well positioned to take advantage of these opportunities. Furthermore, partnerships and collaborations among technology developers, waste management businesses, and manufacturers can speed up innovation and boost market growth by tackling issues like contamination and material quality.
One major issue in this market is insufficient recycling infrastructure, which includes collecting systems, sorting facilities, and recycling plants. Insufficient investment in infrastructure development hinders the ability to adequately handle and treat increasing volumes of plastic garbage. This bottleneck frequently results in logistical issues, greater operational expenses, and poorer recycling efficiency. Companies and stakeholders encounter opposition to expanding recycling efforts due to infrastructure gaps that require significant expenditures and concerted efforts across the value chain to solve. Furthermore, uncertainty in legal frameworks and economic incentives can discourage investment in recycling infrastructure, exacerbating market resistance.
Market Competitive Landscape
The competitive landscape of the plastic recycling market is defined by a varied range of stakeholders, including waste management companies, recycling facilities, and manufacturers who use recycled materials. Competition is based on technological innovation, operational efficiency, and the capacity to achieve strict quality criteria for recycled products. The major players in the market are Agilyx, Brightmark LLC, PLASTIPAK HOLDINGS INC., MBA Polymers Inc., Custom Polymers, UltrePET LLC, KW Plastics, Carbonlite Inc., Seraphim Plastics, Post Plastic Inc., Others.

COVID-19 Impact on North America Plastic Recycling Market
The COVID-19 epidemic largely impacted the plastic recycling business by disrupting supply chains. Lockdowns and limitations enforced around the world hampered plastic garbage collection and sorting, posing operational issues for municipal services and recycling facilities. During lockdowns, reduced consumer activity and industry production resulted in a fall in post-consumer and post-industrial plastic trash generation, impacting recycling input quantities. Furthermore, logistical obstacles and transportation restrictions slowed the flow of recycled materials and finished goods, compounding supply chain inefficiencies. These disruptions exposed flaws in the market's supply chain resilience, emphasizing the importance of contingency planning and diverse supply sources for mitigating future risks.
