Italy Plastic Recycling Market Poised For Growth Through 2030 As Capacity Expansion, Efficiency Gains And Rising End-User Demand Create New Opportunities


(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) Italy's plastic recycling sector is gaining momentum as marine pollution concerns, tighter waste-export controls, new recycling technologies and stakeholder investment drive demand.

Dublin, Sept. 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- "Italy 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.

Italy Plastic Recycling Market Forecast to Reach 3.51 Million Tonnes by 2030

The Italy plastic recycling market reached 2.05 million tonnes in 2020 and is projected to grow to 3.51 million tonnes by 2030, registering a compound annual growth rate of 5.76% during the forecast period. Rising environmental concerns, government intervention and investment in advanced recycling technologies are expected to support the expansion of plastic waste recycling across Italy.

The adverse impact of plastic pollution on marine ecosystems has intensified pressure to improve plastic waste collection, processing and recycling. Calls for the Italian government to prevent the illegal export of plastic waste to Malaysia are also expected to encourage more domestic processing. As additional plastic waste is retained and managed within the country, Italy's recycling infrastructure and processing capacity are likely to experience increased demand.

Technological innovation is another key factor shaping the Italy plastic recycling market. In 2020, Italian chemical company Versalis introduced a project focused on developing technology for the chemical recycling of plastic waste. The initiative also included pyrolysis technology designed to convert mixed plastic waste into feedstock for the production of new polymers. Similar investments by manufacturers, waste management companies and other industry stakeholders are anticipated to strengthen Italy's circular plastics economy and support long-term market growth.

The COVID-19 pandemic generated a sharp increase in demand for plastic products. However, labor shortages and inadequate disposal practices disrupted recycling operations and negatively affected the domestic market. Recovery is expected to be supported by stricter government measures, improved plastic waste management and continued demand from major end-user industries.
