高级回收，也称为化学回收或原料回收，是将废料分解到分子层面并将其转化为新原料的过程。随着利益相关者寻求解决以前无法回收的塑胶废弃物问题的解决方案，发达的回收市场显示出强劲成长。与主要重塑聚合物的机械回收不同，先进的回收将材料分解成分子成分，实现更广泛的塑胶和其他材料的真正循环。

这个市场受到不断增加的监管压力、企业永续发展计画以及跨多个转型平台的成熟技术的推动。主要技术包括热解、气化、溶剂裂解和解聚，每种技术都针对特定的聚合物流或最终产品应用。该产业的投资流入急剧加速，自2020年以来已承诺投资超过 75亿美元。先进的回收与传统石化基础设施的结合，透过现有的分销网路和技术专长创造了部署优势。

监理架构越来越支持采用先进的回收方法。欧盟的循环经济行动计画和塑胶包装税为再生产品创造了直接的经济激励，而美国环保署和州级法律越来越承认化学回收是合法的回收，而不是废弃物处理。儘管取得了这些进展，但挑战依然存在。资本密集度仍然很高，为每吨年产能 1,500-4,000 美元，这给快速扩张造成了经济障碍。透过催化剂开发和製程整合，不断提高製程产量和能源效率，逐步提高製程的经济性。原料品质和一致性是操作上的挑战，污染物会影响催化剂的性能和产品品质。

市场预测显示，到2030年，先进的回收技术每年将处理 2,000万至 2,500万吨塑胶垃圾，相当于全球塑胶产量的约 5%至 7%。虽然这仍然只占塑胶总量的一小部分，但与目前的水准（不到 1%）相比，这将是一个显着的成长，并为以前被掩埋或焚烧的材料创造了一条有意义的循环途径。该行业的发展越来越集中在先进回收提供独特价值的专业应用，而不是直接与机械回收竞争清洁、同质的流程。这种互补方法解决了各种塑胶废弃物的问题，同时最佳化了各种材料品质和污染程度的环境和经济绩效。

本报告探讨了全球先进的化学品和原料回收市场，对快速发展的技术、市场动态和成长机会进行调查分析。

Advanced recycling, sometimes referred to as chemical or feedstock recycling, is a process that breaks down waste to the molecular level so it can be converted to new raw materials. The advanced recycling market is experiencing major growth as stakeholders seek solutions for previously unrecyclable plastic waste. Unlike mechanical recycling, which primarily reshapes polymers, advanced recycling breaks materials down to molecular building blocks, enabling true circularity for a wider range of plastics and other materials.

The market is driven by increasing regulatory pressure, corporate sustainability commitments, and technological maturation across multiple conversion platforms. Leading technologies include pyrolysis, gasification, solvolysis, and depolymerization, each targeting specific polymer streams or end-product applications. Investment flows into the sector have accelerated dramatically, with over $7.5 billion committed since 2020. This integration of advanced recycling with conventional petrochemical infrastructure creates deployment advantages through existing distribution networks and technical expertise.

Regulatory frameworks increasingly support advanced recycling adoption. The European Union's Circular Economy Action Plan and Plastic Packaging Levy create direct economic incentives for recycled content, while the U.S. EPA and state-level legislation increasingly recognize chemical recycling as legitimate recycling rather than waste disposal. Challenges persist despite these advances. Capital intensity remains high at $1,500-4,000 per ton of annual capacity, creating economic barriers to rapid scaling. Process yield and energy efficiency improvements continue through catalyst development and process integration, gradually improving economics. Feedstock quality and consistency represent operational challenges, with contaminants potentially affecting catalyst performance and product quality.

Market forecasts suggest advanced recycling will process 20-25 million tons of plastic waste annually by 2030, representing approximately 5-7% of global plastic production. While still a modest fraction of total plastics volume, this represents significant growth from current levels (<1%) and creates meaningful circular pathways for materials previously destined for landfills or incineration. The sector's evolution increasingly focuses on specialized applications where advanced recycling provides unique value rather than competing directly with mechanical recycling for clean, homogeneous streams. This complementary approach addresses the full spectrum of plastic waste while optimizing environmental and economic performance across different material qualities and contamination levels.

"The Advanced (Chemical or Feedstock) Recycling Market 2025-2040" report provides an in-depth analysis of the rapidly evolving technologies, market dynamics, and growth opportunities in the advanced (chemical or feedstock) recycling sector. As global plastic production reaches unprecedented levels and environmental concerns intensify, advanced recycling emerges as a critical solution for transforming plastic waste into valuable chemical feedstocks and materials. This report delivers essential insights for stakeholders across the value chain, from technology developers and investors to consumer product companies and policymakers.
