For instance, in October 2022, Coca-Cola signed an agreement with Indorama Ventures to start a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) recycling facility in the Philippines.
Furthermore, for instance, Unilever has partnered with Ioniqa, a Dutch recycling start-up, to develop a technology that can convert PET waste into high-quality recycled PET.
Thus, increasing demand for food-grade certified recycled PET led to the growth of Global Recycled PET Flakes market in the upcoming years.
In addition, recycled PET is helping to save energy and landfill space as they are used in new building and construction applications every day. Recycled PET can be blended with virgin PET (that has not been processed before) to reduce cost without sacrificing performance. Such recycled PET is used to make polymeric timbers for use in everything from picnic tables to fences, thus helping to save trees. Moreover, recycled PET fibers are used for concrete reinforcement as fiber addition in concrete makes it resistant to cracks, wear, and tear, enhances tensile strength, and improves ductility and impact strength.
Therefore, increasing utilization of recycled PET in the construction industry anticipates the growth of Global Recycled PET Flakes market in the projected years.
Clear recycled PET flakes are lightweight and non-reactive in nature. They possess the characteristics that resist the growth of mold, bacteria, and fungi. Clear recycled PET flakes are majorly used in the packaging of food products, beverages, pharmaceuticals, electronic goods, and cosmetics. Along with this, clear recycled PET flakes are also used to make plastic vehicle components, clothing, textiles, and more packaging materials.
In addition, many companies prefer clear recycled PET flakes to produce containers and bottles than opaque or colored recycled PET flakes, thus helping in the easy detection of variations in products packaged inside containers and bottles.
For instance, in 2022, the PQRenew brand of recycled bottle flake and resins, which is a distinctive product line pushing sustainability solutions, was legally trademarked by PolyQuest, Inc.
High durability, wide utilization in food and non-food applications, and the low processing costs associated with clear recycled PET flakes led to the growth of Global Recycled PET Flakes market in the projected years.
However, rapid industrialization and economic expansion resulted in the drastic growth in municipal solid waste due to a lack of waste management alternatives and ineffective waste policy implementation. These are the major challenges for governments to materialize a sustainable solid waste management framework, and there is no proper framework for plastic waste management at the moment. Along with this, the lack of standardized recycling technology could result in inconsistent quality and performance of recycled PET flakes. This could deter end-users from using recycled PET flakes and limit their market penetration. In addition, mechanical recycling weakens used plastic over time and may cause discoloration because it involves washing, shredding, and melting the material (yellowing). The lower mechanical strength of recycled PET is made up for during both the recycling process and use phase by adding virgin PET as well as the presence of impurities in the recycling feedstock, making it difficult to maintain color consistency between batches, which is a factor that restrains the growth of the market. Moreover, Virgin PET is cheaper than recycled PET flakes, primarily due to the cost of raw materials. The price competition with virgin PET could make recycled PET flakes less attractive to end-users, particularly in price-sensitive markets as well as the availability of alternative sustainable materials, such as bioplastics, paper, and glass, due to their high sustainability credentials. This factor may slow down market growth.
For instance, the UN Environment Programme estimates that seven billion tonnes of plastic waste have been generated globally so far, of which less than 10% has been recycled.
