Australia Waste Plastic Recycling Market Trends and Drivers:

The market is seeing an increase in the use of post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastics, especially in packaging. The launch of large PET recycling plants and the start of container deposit programs are raising the supply of clean, high-quality recycled materials. Innovations, like AI-driven sorting and improved mechanical processes, are increasing material recovery rates. Collaborations between public and private sectors are speeding up infrastructure growth, while government requirements for recycled content in packaging are changing supply chains and promoting sustainable production practices.

The market is driven by strict government rules, landfill bans, and national strategies for a circular economy. Extended producer responsibility (EPR) programs and recycling labeling rules are enhancing material stream quality and encouraging investment in new facilities. Consumers prefer sustainable brands, and the need for high-quality recycled feedstock is prompting manufacturers to use recycled materials. The growth of the packaging sector and the expansion of container deposit programs are also supporting market stability and material circulation.
