North America Recycled Plastics Market Growth Factors

The North America recycled plastics market is primarily driven by increasing government and organizational initiatives. For example, the Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) working with the Recycling Partnership has implemented multiple efforts to educate vendors on the use of post-consumer resin (PCR). This has bolstered demand for recycled plastics across the region, promoting sustainability and reducing environmental impact.

Moreover, plastic recycling provides manufacturers with a significant cost advantage. Producing recycled plastic reduces reliance on costly virgin raw materials, aiding in cost control during production cycles. This economic incentive alongside environmental benefits encourages wider adoption and growth in the sector.

The recycling process itself, involving sorting, washing, shredding, identification, classification, and extruding, ensures that waste plastics are efficiently converted into usable forms. These well-established practices contribute to the efficiency and effectiveness of recycling operations, further supporting market growth. Collectively, these factors underpin the projected CAGR of 3.48% during 2025-2033, with market size expected to grow from USD 8,162.8 Million in 2024 to USD 11,287.2 Million by 2033.
