The European thermoplastics market will see considerable growth during the forecast period. The region has the presence of a large sum of end-use industries of plastics, predominantly packaging, chemical, and automotive. Therefore, there is a rising concern and focus on the recycling of thermoplastics. European Union (EU) is focusing on a more ‘circular’ approach. It will cover all prospects of the plastic industry starting from production to waste management.
A revised legislative framework on waste came into force in July 2018, with a target to reduce waste in the region. As per the revised proposal, by 2035, 65% of the municipal wastage should be recycled, 70% of the packaging waste should be recycled by 2030, and municipal waste landfill should be limit to a maximum of 10% by 2035 in the region. It will lead plastic manufacturers to develop more eco-friendly products which can be recycled easily.
