United States Plastic Recycling Market To Reach 44.40 Million Tonnes By 2030
Dublin, Sept. 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- "United States (U.S.) Plastic Recycling Market Analysis: Plant Capacity, Production, Operating Efficiency, Demand & Supply, End-User Industries, Distribution Channel, Regional Demand, 2015-2030" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The United States plastic recycling market reached 28.91 million tonnes in 2020 and is projected to grow to 44.40 million tonnes by 2030, registering a compound annual growth rate of 4.25% during the forecast period. Market expansion is expected to be supported by increasing demand for recycled plastics, stronger environmental initiatives and continued investment in domestic recycling infrastructure.
Plastic recycling plays an important role in reducing carbon dioxide emissions and lowering the energy consumed in the production of virgin plastics. Growing concern over plastic waste disposal and environmental pollution is encouraging manufacturers, consumers and government authorities to adopt more sustainable waste management practices. These trends are expected to generate significant demand across the United States plastic recycling market through 2030.
Packaging, automotive and textile companies are increasing their use of recycled plastic materials as they work toward sustainability and resource-efficiency objectives. Tax incentives offered by various state governments are also promoting the adoption of recycled plastics across end-user industries. Alongside these measures, municipal and regional recycling programs are strengthening plastic waste collection and processing capabilities throughout the country.
The COVID-19 pandemic increased plastic consumption in the food and beverage, healthcare and pharmaceutical industries. However, lockdown restrictions, labor shortages and interruptions to waste collection services led to improper disposal and reduced collection rates. These conditions negatively affected the availability of recyclable plastic waste and disrupted the United States plastic recycling industry. As operating conditions normalized, renewed spending on collection systems, processing facilities and recycling programs supported the market's recovery and long-term growth prospects.
