Plastics Recyclers Worldwide
Developments in mechanical and chemical recycling technology are changing the shape of the plastics industry as we know it.
Within the European Commission’s 2030 vision, all plastic packaging being placed on the market will be reusable or easily recycled. Consequently, the improved separation and investment in innovation, skills and capacity will result in the export of poorly sorted plastic waste being phased out. In tandem with the expansion of capacity, the demand for recycled plastic is expected to have grown four-fold.
Our extensive interview programme, ensures we provide verified data for your business needs. Identify potential acquisition targets and enhance sales planning with our database of 1,600+ plastics recyclers.
