Recycled polymers & circular economy: China & US lead the way

Europe is fragmented with only 65 per cent recycling compliance in some areas.
Asia, particularly China, is boosting investments in recycling facilities to achieve a 25 per cent recycled polymer target by 2030.
Meanwhile, the US, with less strict regulations, sees growing demand for recycled content, with a 5 per cent increase in recycled polymer production in Q3 2024, mainly in packaging.
