Italy Post Consumer Recycled Plastic Market

the demand of post-consumer recycled plastic in italy is projected to witness steady growth in the coming years. according to natural resources defence council, italy is one of the top 8 eu nations for overall recycling rates in 2020. italy’s performance in condensing plastic waste into post-consumer recycled plastic products is likely to get a major boost inspired by the nation’s ambitious policies and efforts towards sustainable development. the plastic strategy of italy outlines clearly defined targets for a waste circular economy and calls for a 30% increase in plastic recycling by 2030. the city of rome has even implemented a non-binding pledge, encouraging large companies to use recycled plastic in production of plastic materials. furthermore, the nation’s plastic waste management infrastructure is encouraged by government funding and backing for initiatives that turn plastic waste into post-consumer recycled plastic products. the government aims to ensure that by the year 2035, 65% of post-consumer plastic waste is to be recycled. decline in new plastic production and an increased preference towards “green” packaging materials are expected to drive the market for recycled plastics in italy. with consumers now becoming more aware of the environmental impact of their choices, companies are turning to more sustainable packaging options, such as post-consumer recycled plastic containers. in addition, strict implementation of packaging and landfill waste regulations are anticipated to encourage use of post-consumer recycled plastic in production. the cpa (consiglio plastics association) of italy has launched an action plan to work towards the goals outlined in the plastic strategy. this plan focuses on efficient production of recycled plastic products, effective collection of plastic waste, and increased recycling rates. these steps are all expected to become a major driving factor for the demand of post-consumer recycled plastic in italy. the strict enforcement of the eu waste framework directive, and the nation’s commitment to the circular economy action plan 2025, are expected to further support the growth of the market for post-consumer recycled plastic in italy.
