Brazil Post Consumer Recycled Plastic Market

the brazilian post consumer recycled plastic market is an evolving segment of the brazilian plastics industry that has seen significant growth in recent years due to a number of economic and environmental factors. with the increasing demand for sustainable plastics, brazil has taken great strides in implementing post-consumer plastic recovery initiatives and are now incentivizing the use of recycled plastics in several industrial processes. brazil has seen considerable success in reducing the amount of post consumer plastic waste. the national solid waste collection and transport plan (pnrcs), enacted in 2012, seeks to increase the recovery of such valuable materials through efficient waste collection systems, as well as increasing the financial incentives to encourage the uptake of recovered plastics. similarly, the brazilian national environmental policy (pne) established the national solid waste management fee (tms) to help fund these types of initiatives as well as encourage the use of recycled material in manufacturing processes. the brazilian government has also worked to improve forecasting and data collection of post consumer plastic materials in an effort to further increase the use of recycled plastics and promote sustainable consumption. furthermore, several governmental and private sector organizations have been working together to develop a regional database for plastic materials as part of the national waste plastic monitoring system (sis – pnrcs brasil). the outlook for the brazilian post consumer recycled plastic market is both encouraging and powerful. with further investment in research and data collection, as well as continuing governmental initiatives, the market is primed to continue its growth and become a major global player in the post-consumer plastics sector. however, the success of such initiatives will depend on the willingness of the industry to invest capital in innovative and sustainable processes. only then can the full potential of this market be realized.
