Description

Recycled Plastics in Packaging

Demand for recycled plastic for packaging applications in the US is projected to increase over 15% per year to 2.6 billion pounds in 2025. Gains will be driven by manufacturers’ efforts to meet stringent sustainability goals as well as improvements in recycling processes and technologies that will allow for the production of high-quality, high-performance recycled plastic resins.

This study analyzes recycled plastic demand by resin and packaging application, as well as plastics collection by resin and packaging application.

Demand and plastic waste collection is provided for the following resins:
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET)
High-density polyethylene (HDPE)
Low-density and linear low-density polyethylene (LDPE, LLDPE)
Polypropylene
Polystyrene
Other plastic resins

Demand is provided for the following packaging applications:
Food and beverage containers (beverage bottles, food bottles and jars, other food and beverage containers)
Non-Food containers (bottles, other non-food containers)
Flexible packaging (retail bags, trash bags, other bags and film packaging)
Other packaging applications

Plastic waste collection is provided for the following packaging applications:
Bottles
Rigid plastics and foam
Bags and film

Scope of the report

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
