Micro plastics are tiny plastic fragments less than 5mm in length that are polluting oceans and waterways. They enter the environment from various sources such as cosmetics, clothing, and plastic waste. Micro plastic recycling aims to divert these micro plastics from landfills and natural water bodies by collecting and reprocessing them. This helps reduce plastic pollution and supports the development of a circular economy. Micro plastics are particles which are less than 5mm in size, enter the environment, through various sources including clothing, personal care products, and fragmentation of larger plastics. These have been detected in terrestrial, marine, and aquatic ecosystems across the world having detrimental environmental and health impacts. Growing awareness about plastic pollution and its adverse effects has significantly driven the demand for effective micro plastic recycling solutions. Recent advances in recycling technologies are enabling separation and recovery of micro plastics from complex waste streams in an efficient and economical manner. Recent research has estimated that around 500,000 tons of micro plastics flow into the oceans annually. Several countries and regions have implemented regulations to curb plastic waste and promote recycling. This is expected to drive greater collection and recycling of micro plastics going forward.

Market Dynamics:

Global micro plastic recycling market is driven by the growing awareness about plastic pollution and stringent environmental regulations regarding plastic waste management. The ban on micro beads in personal care products in various countries contributed significantly to the market growth. However, high costs that are associated with separate collection and processing of micro plastics acts as a major restraint. Developments in sorting and filtering technologies offer opportunities to reduce recycling costs and improve recovery rates. Partnerships between recycling firms and brands/manufacturers also help increase supply of recyclables. The market is expected to gain traction with support from regulatory push on corporate responsibility for post-consumer plastics.
