North America Post-Consumer Recycled Plastics Market Synopsis

The North America post-consumer recycled plastics market is expected to grow significantly in the coming years due to increasing awareness about environmental sustainability and stricter regulations for waste management. Recycling plastic waste helps reduce pollution, conserve natural resources, and decrease greenhouse gas emissions in the region.

According to 6Wresearch, the North America Post-Consumer Recycled Plastics Market size is expected to grow at a significant CAGR of 6.5% during 2025-2031. One of the major drivers of this market is the rising concern over plastic pollution. The growing awareness among consumers about the negative impact of single-use plastics on the environment has led to a shift towards more sustainable alternatives. This has resulted in an increased demand for post-consumer recycled plastics, which are made from plastic waste collected from households and businesses. Moreover, government regulations and policies aimed at reducing plastic waste and promoting recycling have also contributed to the growth of the market.

One of the main challenges is the lack of infrastructure for the collection and processing of plastic waste. Proper systems for collecting and sorting plastic waste are still lacking in some regions, making it difficult to obtain high-quality recycled materials. Additionally, there is a lack of consumer awareness about the importance of separating recyclable materials from regular waste, leading to contamination issues. Another challenge faced by this market is the low demand for recycled plastics from certain industries.
