Egypt Plastic Recycling Market to be Dominated by Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Type Through 2028

Growing demand from the packaging and electrical & electronics sector are factors driving the Egypt Plastic Recycling Market in the forecast period 2024-2028.

According to TechSci Research report, Egypt Plastic Recycling Market - By Region, Competition, Forecast and Opportunities, 2028”, Egypt plastic recycling market is anticipated to increase at a substantial rate in the forecast period. The Egyptian plastic recycling market has witnessed many developments that aim to address the environmental and social challenges posed by plastic waste. According to the World Economic Forum, Cairo's informal waste collectors (zabbaleen) are a distinctive part of the city's street culture and currently collect 50-60% of its waste. They also recycle 80% of everything they collect, making them a key player in the circular economy and making Egypt as one of the prominent players in global order.

Despite the technological advancements and favorable government policies, the Egyptian plastic recycling market still faces some significant challenges that need to be addressed. The lack of infrastructure and investment in recycling facilities and availability of low cost of virgin plastic are the major factors hindering the market growth. The cost of producing virgin plastic is often lower than the cost of recycling plastic waste, making it difficult for recycling companies to compete with virgin plastic producers. This can discourage investment in recycling facilities and limit the growth of the recycling industry. Apart from these, illegal dumping of plastic waste and unregulated recycling practices can be harmful to the environment and undermine the efforts of legitimate recyclers due to lack of stringent regulation on waste disposal.  Top of Form

Hence, these factors are creating significant impact on the market and impeding the Egypt Plastic Recycling market growth in the forecasted period.
