Germany Recycled Plastics Market Trends:

Thriving E-commerce Industry

According to the International Trade Administration report of 2023, Germany e-commerce penetration reached 80% in 2022. With the increase in online shopping, there is a corresponding rise in the demand for packaging materials, including plastics. Many products purchased online require protective packaging, such as bubble wrap, air pillows, and plastic envelopes. As e-commerce volumes is growing, so is the demand for packaging materials, including recycled plastics. In addition, the use of recycled plastics in packaging plays a part in lessening the impact on the environment that is caused by online retail. Large online stores, as well as other small businesses, are offering and adopting sustainable packaging to meet individual demands and regulatory requirements. Besides this, as people are becoming more environmentally conscious, they are choosing retailers and brands that prioritize sustainability. E-commerce companies are responding to this demand by adopting eco-friendly practices throughout their operations, including packaging. Offering products in packaging made from recycled plastics can appeal to environmentally conscious people, thereby driving the demand for recycled materials.

Rising Vehicle Production

As per the Germany Trade and Invest report 2023, German automobile manufacturers produced over 15.6 million vehicles in 2021. Modern cars use many plastics in their interior trims, including instrument cluster, door linings, glove compartment, and seating. As vehicle production is increasing, so is the demand for these plastic parts. Using recycled plastics in interior components allows automotive manufacturers to meet sustainability targets and reduce their environmental footprint. Furthermore, plastic is also used in the manufacturing of engine compartments in the vehicles, such as engine hoods, air intake systems, and covers among others. The production of these under-the-hood components increases with rising vehicle manufacturing volumes. Utilizing recycled plastics in these applications contributes to resource conservation and environmental sustainability. Automotive manufacturers and their supply chain partners are managing sustainability initiatives throughout the supply chains. Thus, using recycled plastics in the production of vehicles complies with these sustainability goals and enables automotive businesses to minimize their contributions to environmental degradation. Besides this, the rising demand for sustainable vehicles encourages automotive manufacturers to incorporate recycled materials into their products.
