North America Recycled Glass Market Size & Analysis

North America Recycled Glass Market was valued at USD 1.2 billion and is expected to reach USD 2.4 billion, growing at a CAGR of around 6.8% from 2025 to 2031. Recycled glass refers to the processed glass that has been recovered from waste streams such as bottles, jars, and other glass containers. It is then crushed, cleaned, and melted down to create new glass products. Recycling glass not only helps in reducing waste but also conserves natural resources as it requires less energy to produce compared to virgin glass.

North America Recycled Glass Market Synopsis

North America Recycled Glass Market is experiencing significant growth and is projected to attain more growth in the coming years due to increasing environmental awareness and the imperative to reduce landfill waste. This market encompasses various applications, including container glass, fiberglass, and specialty glass products. This robust growth rate is attributed to the combination of stringent environmental regulations and heightened consumer awareness, driving the demand for recycled glass products across various industries.

According to 6Wresearch, North America Recycled Glass Market size is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.8% during 2025-2031. Several factors are driving the growth of North America Recycled Glass Market such as consumer awareness regarding the environmental impact of their purchasing choices. Consumers are increasingly opting for products made from sustainable materials, which is propelling the market for recycled glass.
