Japan Recycled Plastics Industry Trends and Drivers:

The Japan recycled plastics market is anticipated to witness a steady growth on account of the environmental regulations, high rate of recycling in Japan and the supportive policies towards achieving circular economy and carbon neutrality in Japan. The Japanese government's 'Plastic Resource Circulation Strategy' and various ordinance enactments set challenging goals for reducing and recycling plastic waste, which results in the demand for manufacturers in various industries to increase the use of recycled plastic materials. Corporate sustainability efforts and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) laws require businesses to redesign products to be more recyclable, and to use post-consumer recycled material in their packaging and products. Increasing consumer consciousness about plastic pollution and degradation of environment has created demand pressure for brands to portray environmental responsibility leading to the seizing up of transition for adoption of recycled plastic in the packaging, automotive, construction and consumer goods industries.

The market is also bolstered by the development of new plastic recycling technologies, such as chemical recycling processes that are able to process contaminated and mixed plastic waste streams that were considered unrecyclable in the past. Japanese corporations are making big investments in state-of-the-art sorting systems and recycling facilities to increase the quality and uniformity of recycled plastic suitable for high-end applications. The growing use of recycled plastics in automotive parts as a result of weight reduction objectives and sustainability commitments within the automotive industry is a lucrative development prospect. The packaging sector is also experiencing a surge in the use of recycled PET and other materials as a result of the packaging industry and consumers demand sustainable packaging. Global efforts and cooperation in the areas of collection system improvement and recycling technology innovation has led to the reinforcement of the Japanese recycling system. The country’s mature waste management system with a high rate of public participation in recycling schemes ensures a good potential for market growth, while related problems such as contamination, collection effectiveness, and financial sustainability continue to spur research and development on futuristic recycling solutions.
