在監管壓力、環保要求和技術突破的推動下，全球廢棄物管理格局正在發生重大變化。歐盟 (EU) 規定，到 2030 年，10% 的包裝材料必須來自再生材料，因此，創新回收解決方案的緊迫性比以往任何時候都更加迫切。這個監管框架只是全球循環經濟原則發展的一個方面，世界各國政府正在實施日益嚴格的政策，以應對日益嚴重的塑膠垃圾危機。

考慮到塑膠產量的不斷增長，市場成長軌跡尤其引人注目。預計未來 35 年塑膠產量將增加兩倍，塑膠垃圾管理課題將呈指數級增長。因此，快速且有效率地擴展先進的回收技術既是前所未有的機遇，也是迫切的需求。

全球先進塑膠回收市場正在多個細分領域強勁擴張。中國大規模進入先進回收領域，標誌著該產業發展的重要里程碑。新建於廣東省揭陽的工廠採用廣東東嶽化工科技股份有限公司自主研發的單段深度催化裂解技術，年處理能力超過20萬噸。

機械回收的限制為先進的化學回收技術帶來了巨大的機會。機械回收最適用於高品質、分類相對乾淨的廢棄物，但也面臨結構性限制，例如合適的原料有限以及材料特性限制了終端市場的應用。相較之下，先進回收不僅擴大了可回收塑料的種類，還能生產具有特定分子量分佈和共聚單體的塑料，適用於軟包裝等高價值應用。

推動市場成長的因素很多。政府的舉措和對塑膠回收的大力投資正在推動對塑膠化學回收的需求。此外，消費品和包裝行業向可回收和可持續材料的轉變預計將促進市場成長。

憑藉先進技術，到2030年，每年可處理多達1500萬噸的塑膠垃圾。預計該產業將在解決全球塑膠垃圾問題中發揮關鍵作用，同時透過將廢棄物轉化為新產品的寶貴原料，創造巨大的經濟價值。

本報告探討了全球先進塑膠回收市場，提供了有關新興技術、市場動態、競爭格局和策略機會的資訊。報告還提供了對市場推動因素的關鍵見解，包括嚴格的監管政策、企業永續發展計畫、技術進步以及全球主要地區循環經濟的實施。

The advanced plastics recycling market stands at an inflection point, driven by regulatory pressures, environmental imperatives, and technological breakthroughs that are reshaping the global waste management landscape. With the European Union mandating that 10% of packaging materials must come from recycled sources by 2030, the urgency for innovative recycling solutions has never been greater. This regulatory framework represents just one facet of a broader global movement toward circular economy principles, as governments worldwide implement increasingly stringent policies to address the mounting plastic waste crisis.

The market's growth trajectory is particularly compelling when viewed against the backdrop of escalating plastic production. With plastic manufacturing projected to potentially triple over the next 35 years, the challenge of managing plastic waste will intensify exponentially. This creates both an unprecedented opportunity and an existential necessity for advanced recycling technologies to scale rapidly and efficiently.

The global advanced plastics recycling market demonstrates robust expansion across multiple segments. China's entry into large-scale advanced recycling marks a significant milestone in the industry's evolution. The new facility in Jieyang, Guangdong province, with its capacity to process over 200,000 tonnes per year using proprietary one-step deep catalytic cracking technology developed by Guangdong Dongyue Chemical Technology, represents the kind of technological breakthrough needed to address the scale of the challenge.

The limitations of mechanical recycling have created substantial opportunities for advanced chemical recycling technologies. Mechanical recycling is most effective with high-quality, relatively clean sorted waste; it faces structural limitations such as limited pools of appropriate feedstock and resulting material properties that limit end-market applications. In contrast, advanced recycling can not only expand the types of plastics that are recyclable but also produce plastics that have tailored molecular weight distributions and comonomers that are suited for high-value applications, such as flexible packaging for food.

Several key factors are propelling market growth. Government initiatives toward recycling of plastics coupled with high investments is likely to propel demand for chemical recycling of plastics. Additionally, the shift of consumer goods and packaging industries toward recyclable and sustainable materials is expected to augment the market growth.

With advanced technologies potentially processing up to 15 million tons of additional plastic waste annually by 2030, the industry is positioned to play a crucial role in addressing the global plastic waste challenge while creating substantial economic value through the transformation of waste streams into valuable feedstock for new products.

"The Global Advanced Plastics Recycling Market 2026-2040" provides definitive analysis of the advanced plastics recycling sector, covering emerging technologies, market dynamics, competitive landscapes, and strategic opportunities through 2040. As plastic production continues its exponential growth trajectory, the urgency for sustainable waste management solutions has never been greater.
