What Are The Leading Drivers Of Growth In The Ethylene Copolymers Market?
The uptake of waste packaging recycling, which is predicted to drive the ethylene copolymers market's future growth, is on the rise. This waste recovery method turns waste into new materials or substances that can be used for the original purpose or other applications. Packaging waste, which includes polymers, can undergo a pyrolysis process. This process thermally cracks the waste, transforming it into fuels and chemicals. An increased interest in waste packaging recycling results in a higher demand for ethylene copolymers, given their exceptional compatibility functions and transformation into high-yield recycled products. As an example, in July 2024, the National Environment Agency, a Singaporean government statutory board, reported that roughly 6.86 million tonnes of solid waste had been produced. Of this total, 3.55 million tonnes were recycled. Non-domestic and domestic sectors produced 4.97 million tonnes and 1.89 million tonnes of waste respectively in 2023.
