歐洲塑膠廢棄物管理-市場-IMG1

主要亮點

  • 歐洲塑膠廢棄物管理市場主要受到政府遏制快速廢棄物產生措施和對永續性的偏好的推動。
  • 塑膠廢棄物污染是一個迫切的全球性問題。作為塑膠的主要消費國,歐洲在加劇這個問題方面發揮關鍵作用。該地區每年產生的塑膠廢棄物不斷增加,尤其是包裝等一次性物品。但回收率卻落後,凸顯歐洲實現塑膠循環經濟還有很長的路要走。
  • 2023年,歐盟預計將排放6,000萬噸塑膠廢棄物。預測表明,這一趨勢將持續下去,到 2060 年塑膠廢棄物產生量可能會加倍,達到每年 1 億多噸。
  • 包裝是歐洲塑膠廢棄物的主要來源,總合歐盟成員國2023年將產生超過1,600萬噸塑膠垃圾。過去十年,歐盟的塑膠包裝廢棄物激增了30%左右。
  • 在歐洲,掩埋和焚燒能源回收回收仍然是塑膠廢棄物管理的主導方式,而回收則落後,僅佔歐洲大陸廢棄物處理的不到15%。雖然取得了一些進展,但歐盟塑膠包裝的回收率仍低於50%,沒有達到歐盟2025年的回收目標。
  • 出口到歐盟以外地區的塑膠廢棄物被納入回收率,假設將在歐盟內部進行加工。然而,由於接收國廢棄物基礎設施不足,這些出口經常面臨管理不善的情況。儘管如此,該地區的塑膠廢棄物出口仍在下降。這是因為越來越多的國家禁止或限制進口塑膠廢棄物。
  • 塑膠污染已成為歐洲的迫切問題,促使該地區推出新的政策。例如,歐盟的《一次性塑膠指令》禁止使用歐洲海灘上常見的許多一次性塑膠產品。歐洲正大力推行更廣泛禁止一次性塑膠的措施。特別是,歐盟於2023年11月承諾在2026年停止向非經合組織國家出口塑膠廢棄物,但要求全面禁止出口的呼聲依然存在。

歐洲塑膠廢棄物管理市場趨勢

歐盟新政策將改變包裝產業,推動 2050 年實現氣候中和

歐盟已於 2023 年修改了有關包裝和包裝廢棄物的法案。該修正案是2050年使包裝產業實現氣候中立的更廣泛目標的一部分。

自 2023 年起,餐飲服務、宅配服務和餐廳將被要求提供可重複使用的容器作為外帶食品的選擇,不再使用一次性塑膠。在英國,預計到 2025 年,一次性飲料瓶必須含有至少 25% 的再生塑膠。

這些新政策將特別有利於中小企業,它們將釋放出新一輪的商機。這也將減少對原料的依賴,增強歐洲的回收能力,並減少歐洲大陸對主要來源和外部供應商的依賴。重要的是,這些努力將使包裝產業在 2050 年之前實現氣候中立目標。

在努力實現雄心勃勃的淨零和淨正目標的同時,塑膠產業依賴三大支柱:速度、勞動力和政策。實現這些里程碑將增強歐洲的競爭力,並代表歐洲在應對氣候變遷方面向前邁出的重要一步。未來三到五年對於我們能否在本世紀中葉達到脫碳至關重要。

隨著世界變化,英國加大力度應對塑膠廢棄物

塑膠因其價格低廉、耐用且用途廣泛而受到讚譽,已在全球社會中根深蒂固。然而,其處理的限制對環境構成了重大威脅。英國是排放塑膠廢棄物最多的國家,其家庭每年丟棄的塑膠包裝數量高達 1000 億件。 2021年產生了250萬噸塑膠包裝廢棄物。

儘管人們的環保意識不斷增強,但 2021 年塑膠包裝廢棄物的回收率在過去的半個世紀中保持相對穩定,僅為 44%。該比率包括直接回收和透過焚燒進行的能源回收。令人震驚的是,英國近一半的塑膠廢棄物被焚燒以獲取能源,而只有 12% 在國內回收,25% 被垃圾掩埋場,其餘的則被運往海外。

由於國內加工能力不足,英國越來越依賴出口,尤其是對荷蘭的出口,2022 年荷蘭佔英國塑膠廢棄物進口量的四分之一。然而,全球格局正在改變。傳統廢棄物進口國中國等國家正在嚴厲打擊此類行為,並加強對英國的壓力,要求其重新審查其廢棄物管理策略。越來越多的人呼籲加強回收基礎設施和引進先進的回收技術。

由於塑膠分解速度緩慢,其污染問題在英國引起了人們的擔憂。對此,英國政府推出了包括對一次性塑膠購物袋收費在內的多項政策,大幅減少了超級市場的塑膠購物袋發放。有人呼籲進一步實施禁令,蘇格蘭率先禁止使用有問題的一次性塑膠,包括刀叉餐具、盤子和咖啡杯。英格蘭也將效仿並從 2023 年 10 月 1 日起實施類似的禁令。此外,原定於 2023 年實施的全國飲料容器押金返還計畫 (DRS) 因財政挑戰而推遲至 2025 年。

The Europe Plastic Waste Management Market size is estimated at USD 36.69 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 47.35 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 5.23% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

Europe Plastic Waste Management - Market - IMG1

Key Highlights

  • The European plastic waste management market is mainly driven by government initiatives to curb rapid waste generation and a growing preference for sustainability.
  • Plastic waste pollution is a pressing global concern. As a significant consumer of plastics, Europe plays a pivotal role in exacerbating this issue. The region's annual plastic waste production, notably from single-use items like packaging, is on the rise. However, recycling rates are lagging, underscoring the considerable distance Europe must traverse to achieve a circular economy for plastics.
  • In 2023, the European Union produced an estimated 60 million metric tons of plastic waste. Projections suggest this trend will persist, potentially leading to a doubling of plastic waste generation by 2060, exceeding 100 million metric tons annually.
  • Within Europe, packaging represents the primary source of plastic waste, with EU Member States collectively producing over 16 million metric tons in 2023. Over the last decade, plastic packaging waste in the European Union surged by approximately 30%.
  • In Europe, landfilling and incineration for energy recovery continue to dominate plastic waste management, while recycling lags, making up less than 15% of the continent's waste disposal. Despite some progress, the plastic packaging recycling rate in the European Union has struggled to breach the 50% mark, falling short of the bloc's 2025 recycling goal.
  • The plastic waste exported from the European Union to countries outside the bloc intended for treatment is factored into recycling rates. However, these shipments often face mismanagement due to inadequate waste infrastructure in the receiving nations. Despite this, plastic waste exports in the region have been on a downward trend, attributed to an increasing number of countries enforcing bans and restrictions on such imports.
  • Plastic pollution is a pressing issue in Europe, prompting the region to enact new policies. For instance, the Single-use Plastics Directive of the European Union includes bans on various disposable plastic items commonly found on European beaches. The momentum for a broader single-use plastics ban in Europe is gaining traction. Notably, in November 2023, the European Union committed to halting plastic waste exports to non-OECD nations by 2026, although calls for a total export ban persist.

Europe Plastic Waste Management Market Trends

The European Union's New Policies Set to Transform the Packaging Industry and Drive Climate Neutrality by 2050

The European Union revised its legislation on packaging and packaging waste, effective 2023. This revision is part of a broader goal to steer the packaging industry toward climate neutrality by 2050.

From 2023, eateries, delivery services, and restaurants were mandated to provide reusable containers as an option for takeout food, moving away from single-use plastics. By 2025, the United Kingdom is projected to require disposable beverage bottles to contain a minimum of 25% recycled plastic content.

These new policies are poised to usher in a wave of business opportunities, particularly benefiting smaller enterprises. They will also reduce the reliance on virgin materials, bolster Europe's recycling capabilities, and lessen the continent's dependence on primary resources and external suppliers. Crucially, these initiatives are set to align the packaging industry with climate neutrality targets by 2050.

While striving for ambitious net-zero and net-positive goals, the plastics industry hinges on three pillars, i.e., speed, workforce, and policy. Achieving these milestones positions Europe competitively and marks a significant stride in combating climate change. The upcoming three to five years will be pivotal in gauging the industry's ability to decarbonize by mid-century.

The United Kingdom Ramps up Efforts to Tackle Plastic Waste Amid Global Shifts

Plastics, lauded for their affordability, durability, and versatility, have entrenched themselves in the global society. However, the limitations in their disposal pose a significant environmental threat. The United Kingdom stands out in its plastic waste production, with its households discarding a monumental 100 billion plastic packaging pieces annually, averaging 66 per week. In 2021, the country generated 2.5 million metric tons of plastic packaging waste.

Despite heightened environmental awareness, the country's recycling rate for plastic packaging waste lingered at 44% in 2021, which remained relatively static for half a decade. This rate encompasses both direct recycling and energy recovery from incineration. Alarmingly, nearly half of the United Kingdom's plastic waste is incinerated for energy, while a mere 12% is recycled domestically, with 25% ending up in landfills and the rest shipped overseas.

With insufficient domestic processing capabilities, the United Kingdom has increasingly turned to exports, notably channeling a significant portion to the Netherlands, which accounted for a quarter of UK plastic waste imports in 2022. However, the global scenario is shifting. Countries like China, a traditional waste importer, have clamped down on such practices, intensifying the pressure on the United Kingdom to revamp its waste management strategies. Calls for bolstered recycling infrastructure and the adoption of advanced recycling technologies have grown louder.

Given the slow decomposition rate of plastic, concerns over pollution are mounting in the United Kingdom. In response, the UK government has initiated various policies, including the single-use carrier bag charge, which has notably curbed supermarket plastic bag issuance. Calls for further bans have emerged, with Scotland leading the way by prohibiting problematic single-use plastics like cutlery, plates, and coffee cups. Following suit, England was set to implement a similar ban starting October 1, 2023. Additionally, a nationwide deposit return scheme (DRS) for beverage containers, initially slated for 2023, has been delayed to 2025, citing economic challenges.
