The shape of the plastics recycling industry is changing and this is largely due to developments in mechanical recycling. Recovering rigid polyolefins in a closed-loop system is easier, which helps to retain maximum value, and new opportunities are increasingly available.

This comprehensive report quantifies the market for rigid polyolefin recycling, analysing the supply and demand balance, along with an evaluation of current capacity in Europe. Here, you can find a detailed review of the end use applications for recyclate, with an examination of potential future absorption.
