The market is driven by rising middle-class populations and urban lifestyles have intensified demand for affordable, lightweight, and durable materials, particularly in packaging for e-commerce and food products, as well as in automotive interiors, where polypropylene helps reduce vehicle weight and improve fuel efficiency.

Market Overview

Recycled polypropylene is a post-consumer or post-industrial plastic material is reclaimed, processed, and reprocessed to produce new polypropylene products. The material is sourced from different origins include packaging materials, automotive components, consumer goods and industrial applications after their useful life has ended. The chemical recycling process has developed in APAC to produce rPP at higher purity levels, which enables its use in food-grade and medical applications as a substitute for virgin plastic.

The new laboratory line at Suzhou Technical Center combined with our higher research and development funding for the APAC region, enables us to keep our market-leading technical position.

The government programs that target plastic waste reduction and recycling promotion, with the increasing demand from consumers who prefer sustainable products, drive market expansion. The region's biggest market exists in China, which directs major funding towards recycling facilities and technological advancements. Vietnam will implement a ban on small non-biodegradable bags, which will extend to production activities and import practices in 2026. Vietnam is currently building a carbon credit trading system, which will start its pilot testing phase in 2027 and reach operational status between 2028 and 2029.
