The market is expected to grow from US$ 3,435.81 million in 2022 to US$ 4,571.62 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2021 to 2028. 

Recycled glass is obtained by processing waste glass into usable products. The concept of glass recycling has gained traction in the past few years because the glass produced from the recycling method reduces air pollution by ~20% and water pollution by ~50%. There are no raw materials and complex manufacturing processes involved in the formation of recycled glass. Recycled glass is highly used in bottles and containers utilized in the beverage industry.

In 2020, Europe held the largest revenue share of the recycled glass market. High demand for bottles and containers from the residential & industrial sectors, such as food & beverages and healthcare, is mainly driving the recycled glass market growth in Europe. Moreover, the region consists of countries such as Germany, France, the UK, and the Netherlands, which are top manufacturers of food & beverages and pharmaceuticals. The bottles and containers made of recycled glass are highly preferred in the packaging of food & beverages and pharmaceuticals as the self-weight of bottles and containers manufactured from recycled glass is low compared to normal glass. Thus, this factor is responsible for the rising demand for convenient packaging, which leads to increased consumption of bottles and containers. The growing industrialization has also increased the demand for recycled glass in the region.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Recycled Glass Market

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected economies and industries in various countries due to lockdowns, travel restrictions, and business shutdowns. In 2020, various industries had to slow down their operations due to disruptions in value chains caused by the shutdown of national and international boundaries, which led to low demand for recycled glass from various industries. The COVID-19 pandemic caused volatility in the prices of waste glass required to produce recycled glass. The worldwide consumption of recycled glass declined due to low demand from various industries such as construction and manufacturing. The reduced demand from various industries due to the COVID-19 pandemic has hampered the growth of the recycled glass market. However, the demand for recycled glass is expected to rise globally as various economies revive their operations.

Market Insights

Rise in Demand for Bottles and Containers

Bottles and containers are 100% recyclable without losing purity and quality. Many manufacturers of bottles and containers use recycled glass due to a shift in consumer preferences toward eco-friendly packaging. The initiatives taken by governments of various countries to reduce air and water pollution generated by industries have created lucrative opportunities for recycled products. Bottles and containers are completely made of recycled glass. The demand for eco-friendly packaging in developed and developing nations has driven the market for bottles and containers. Glass bottles are frequently used to pack liquids, such as soda, juice, beer, and wine. Recycling these bottles is a quick process as a bottle can be recycled and kept on store shelves for 30 days. Thus, the quick recycled packaging process is responsible for a higher preference for bottles and containers in the packaging industry. The major factor creating demand for bottles and containers is the increasing demand for eco-friendly packaging at a larger scale in the industrial & residential sectors.

Product Type Insights

Based on product type, the recycled glass market is segmented into glass cullet, glass fines, and glass powder. The glass cullet segment held the largest market share in the recycled glass market in 2021 A glass cullet is a broken glass processed and sorted based on colors.
