Plastic recycling refers to the process of recovering and reprocessing post-industrial plastic into valuable products. Some of the common types of plastics include polyethylene terephthalate (PET), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polypropylene (PP), and low-density polyethylene (LDPE). The collected waste goes through sorting, washing, shredding, identification and classification, and extruding. Plastic recycling helps to manufacture biodegradable products, reduce landfill dependence, minimize plastic pollution, conserve resources, and prevent greenhouse gas emissions.
South Korea recycled plastics market is primarily being driven by rapid industrialization and shifting focus towards sustainability. Lower labor costs and rising awareness regarding the harmful effects of plastic waste are further contributing to the market growth in the country. Besides this, the market growth is being fueled by the escalating demand for recycled plastic across the food and beverage (F&B), automotive, electronics, and packaging industries. Moreover, the Government of South Korea is establishing plastic recycling plants to process plastic waste into new materials and effectively control waste production. Apart from this, technological innovations, such as the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) for sorting plastic waste and enhance the quality of recycled plastic products, are positively influencing the market growth in the country.
