Market Overview:
The Japan recycled plastics market is expected to exhibit moderate growth during 2021-2026. Keeping in mind the uncertainties of COVID-19, we are continuously tracking and evaluating the direct as well as the indirect influence of the pandemic on different end use industries. These insights are included in the report as a major market contributor.
Plastic recycling is the procedure of recovering and reprocessing scrap plastic materials into valuable products. Some of the common types of plastic include polyethylene terephthalate (PET), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polypropylene (PP), and low-density polyethylene (LDPE). The waste majorly goes through five stages, namely, sorting, washing, shredding, identification and classification, and extruding. Products manufactured through plastic recycling are biodegradable and environment-friendly. Plastic recycling aids in reducing landfill dependence, conserving resources, lowering plastic pollution, and preventing greenhouse gas emissions.
Japan recycled plastics market is primarily being driven by rapid industrialization and shifting focus towards sustainability. Lower labor costs and increasing awareness regarding the eco-friendly benefits of recycling plastics are further contributing to the market growth. Additionally, the escalating demand for plastic material across the food and beverage (F&B), healthcare, and packaging industries is fueling the market growth. This can be attributed to the rising population, continuous product innovations, and inflating national income. Moreover, the Government of Japan (GoJ) is introducing numerous recycling programs and implementing policies for controlling waste production, encouraging reuse and recycling of scrap plastic. Apart from this, leading players are consistently investing in research and development (R&D) activities to enhance the quality performance of recycled plastic products, which is creating a positive outlook for the market.
