Dublin, Sept. 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- "Saudi Arabia 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.
Saudi Arabia Plastic Recycling Market Forecast to Reach 2.67 Million Tonnes by 2030
Saudi Arabia's plastic recycling market reached 1.49 million tonnes in 2020 and is projected to grow to 2.67 million tonnes by 2030. The market is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate of 5.79% through 2030, supported by government regulations, waste management investments and increasing industrial adoption of recycled plastics.
Government-led sustainability programs are encouraging plastic recycling companies in Saudi Arabia to process municipal waste streams, including plastics, food waste, textiles, glass and metals. These initiatives are expected to support the production of cost-effective recycled materials while strengthening the Kingdom's circular economy and reducing the environmental impact of plastic waste.
Regulatory developments remain a significant driver of the Saudi Arabia plastic recycling market. In 2018, the Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization introduced requirements stipulating that applicable plastic products must use approved oxo-biodegradable materials. The regulation formed part of broader efforts to control plastic pollution and improve environmental compliance across the country.
In 2019, the National Waste Management Center, Riyadh Municipality and Saudi Investment Recycling Company signed a memorandum of understanding to establish integrated waste management and recycling operations in Riyadh. The initiative targets the recycling of 81% of municipal solid waste, equivalent to approximately 3.4 million tonnes annually, and 47% of construction waste, representing around 5 million tonnes per year. It also includes plans to remove and recycle approximately 20 million tonnes of construction and demolition waste accumulated on vacant land and roadsides.
Demand for recycled plastic is also rising among companies seeking to reduce energy consumption, lower carbon emissions and meet corporate sustainability targets. Adoption across the food and beverage, pharmaceutical, healthcare and other industrial sectors is expected to create further opportunities for plastic recycling companies in Saudi Arabia during the forecast period.
The COVID-19 pandemic increased plastic consumption in several essential industries, particularly food and beverage, pharmaceuticals and healthcare. However, inadequate disposal practices disrupted recycling activity and contributed to additional plastic waste. Market conditions are expected to improve as industries increase their use of recycled materials and government authorities implement stricter measures to control plastic pollution.
