Every empty plastic bottle tossed into a bin tells two stories: one of waste and one of opportunity. Increasingly, industries are choosing the latter. The recycled PET (rPET) market is emerging as a critical force in reducing plastic pollution while fueling sustainable growth in packaging, textiles, and automotive materials. According to Stratview Research, the Recycled polyethylene terephthalate market size was USD 12 billion in 2024 and will reach USD 24 in 2032, witnessing a market growth (CAGR) OF 9% during the forecast period of 2025-2032.

Stratview Research forecasts strong expansion in the rPET market, driven by sustainability mandates, cost competitiveness, and consumer demand for eco-friendly products.

Why rPET is Booming

• Consumer brands lead the way – Giants like Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, and Unilever pledge to increase recycled content in packaging.
• Textiles embrace rPET – Sportswear and fashion companies increasingly use rPET fabrics to meet green goals.
• Policy pressure – Europe and North America enforce recycling targets, while Asia-Pacific builds large-scale rPET capacity.
• Innovation matters – Chemical recycling and advanced sorting improve food-grade quality and reduce contamination risks.
