到 2030 年廢紙管理市場預測:按廢紙等級、回收方法、回收流程、服務、回收產品、排放和地區進行的全球分析Waste Paper Management Market Forecasts to 2030 - Global Analysis By Waste Paper Grade, Collection Method, Recycling Process, Service, Recovery Product, Source and By Geography |
根據 Stratistics MRC 的數據,2023 年全球廢紙管理市場規模將達到 474 億美元,預計到 2030 年將達到 677 億美元,預測期內複合年成長率為 5.2%。
廢紙管理涉及廢紙材料的收集、處理和回收,以盡量減少對環境的影響並最大限度地提高資源效率。它包括回收、分類、製漿、脫墨和回收等活動,旨在將紙張廢棄物從垃圾掩埋場轉移,保護自然資源,並減少溫室氣體排放。
據環保署稱,講義、影印紙和筆記本等辦公用紙產品佔掩埋廢棄物的最大部分。光是回收辦公用紙,就可以節省 33% 的樹木造紙所需能源,還可以節省數千加侖的水。
再生紙需求增加
對再生紙的需求不斷成長是廢紙管理市場的主要促進因素。隨著環境問題的日益嚴重,越來越多的消費者和企業開始選擇包括再生紙在內的環保產品。這些不斷變化的偏好推動了對高效紙張收集、分類和回收流程的需求。再生紙減少了對原漿的需求,保護自然資源並減少溫室氣體排放。因此,對再生紙的需求不斷成長對廢紙管理市場的成長產生正面影響。
基礎設施挑戰
缺乏適當的廢紙收集和處理基礎設施是市場的主要限制因素。在許多地區,特別是在開發中國家,缺乏適當的廢紙分離、收集和運輸系統。結果,大部分可回收廢紙最終被垃圾掩埋場或被其他廢棄物污染,使其不適合回收。此外,建立回收設施需要大量的初始投資並需要先進的技術,這給市場成長帶來了挑戰。
回收技術創新
改進的分選機制、更有效率的製漿流程和更好的污染物去除技術等創新可以提高廢紙品質並提高回收率。此外,開拓廢紙的新用途,例如包裝和建築材料,可以開闢新的市場成長途徑。技術進步可以克服傳統回收方法的局限性,並推動對廢紙管理解決方案的需求。
非法傾倒廢紙
非法傾倒廢紙對廢紙管理市場構成威脅。當廢紙被傾倒在未經授權的地點時,不僅會污染環境,還會減少可用於加工的可回收材料的數量。由於缺乏認知、收集基礎設施不足或希望避免處置成本,可能會發生非法傾倒。這種做法可能會破壞廢紙管理產業的努力並損害環境和健康。
COVID-19 大流行對廢紙管理市場產生了各種影響。暫時關閉上鎖的辦公室、學校和企業減少了廢紙的產生。然而,電子商務活動的激增和一次性包裝材料使用的增加導致家庭廢紙量增加。疫情也擾亂了全球供應鏈,影響了廢紙的收集和運輸。
舊瓦楞紙板(OCC)市場預計將在預測期內成為最大的市場
在廢紙管理市場中,舊瓦楞紙箱(OCC)領域預計將佔據最大佔有率。電子商務的成長和瓦楞包裝的使用增加是該領域的主要驅動力。 OCC 具有高度可回收性,在生產新型瓦楞紙箱和其他紙製品方面需求量很大。 OCC 產生量大且易於回收,是廢紙管理市場的主要貢獻者。
化學回收產業預計在預測期內複合年成長率最高
化學回收預計將呈現市場最高的成長率。這種創新的回收方法可以回收傳統機械回收無法處理的複雜且受污染的廢紙。化學回收可以生產高品質的再生紙,並為在各種應用中使用再生材料開闢了新的可能性。隨著高等級廢紙需求的增加,化學回收領域預計將大幅成長。
預計歐洲將佔據廢紙管理市場的最大佔有率。該地區擁有完善的紙張收集和回收基礎設施,並得到嚴格的法規和環境政策的支持。歐盟 (EU) 的循環經濟舉措以及廢棄物減少和回收目標正在推動該地區廢紙管理產業的成長。此外,歐洲消費者的意識和對環保產品的偏好也促進了對再生紙的強勁需求和該地區的市場主導地位。
預計亞太地區的廢紙管理市場成長率最高。該地區正在經歷快速的人口成長、都市化和工業化,導致產生大量廢紙。中國和印度等國家的電子商務活動和包裝材料的使用迅速增加,導致 OCC 和其他廢紙的產生量增加。此外,該地區各國政府也實施了促進廢紙回收和永續廢棄物管理的政策和措施。由於意識的提高和基礎設施的改善,亞太地區的廢紙管理市場預計將顯著成長。
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Waste Paper Management Market is accounted for $47.4 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $67.7 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period. Waste paper management involves the collection, processing, and recycling of used paper materials to minimize environmental impact and maximize resource efficiency. It includes activities such as collection, sorting, pulping, de-inking, and recycling aimed at diverting paper waste from landfills, conserving natural resources, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, office paper products such as handouts, copy paper, and notebooks make up the largest percentage of landfill waste. Recycling office paper alone can save 33% of the energy needed to make paper from trees, as well as thousands of gallons of water.
Rising demand for recycled paper
The increasing demand for recycled paper is a key driver for the waste paper management market. As environmental concerns grow, more consumers and businesses are opting for eco-friendly products, including recycled paper. This shift in preference is fueling the need for efficient waste paper collection, sorting, and recycling processes. Recycled paper reduces the demand for virgin pulp, conserves natural resources, and lowers greenhouse gas emissions. As a result, the rising demand for recycled paper is positively influencing the growth of the waste paper management market.
Infrastructure challenges
The lack of adequate infrastructure for waste paper collection and processing is a significant restraint for the market. Many regions, particularly in developing countries, lack proper systems for segregating, collecting, and transporting waste paper. This leads to a large portion of recyclable paper ending up in landfills or being contaminated with other waste, making it unsuitable for recycling. Moreover, the high initial investment required to set up recycling facilities and the need for advanced technologies pose challenges for market growth.
Innovation in recycling technologies
Innovations such as improved sorting mechanisms, more efficient pulping processes, and better contaminant removal techniques can enhance the quality of recycled paper and increase recycling rates. Furthermore, the development of new applications for recycled paper, such as in packaging and construction materials, can open up new avenues for market growth. As technology progresses, it can help overcome the limitations of traditional recycling methods and drive the demand for waste paper management solutions.
Illegal dumping of waste paper
Illegal dumping of waste paper poses a threat to the waste paper management market. When waste paper is dumped in unauthorized locations, it not only pollutes the environment but also reduces the amount of recyclable material available for processing. Illegal dumping can occur due to a lack of awareness, insufficient collection infrastructure, or the desire to avoid disposal costs. This practice undermines the efforts of the waste paper management industry and can lead to environmental and health hazards.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a mixed impact on the waste paper management market. The temporary closure of offices, schools, and businesses during lockdowns reduced the generation of waste paper. However, the surge in e-commerce activities and the increased use of disposable packaging materials led to a higher volume of waste paper from households. The pandemic also disrupted global supply chains, affecting the collection and transportation of waste paper.
The old corrugated containers (OCC) segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The old corrugated containers (OCC) segment is expected to hold the largest share in the waste paper management market. The growth of e-commerce and the increasing use of corrugated packaging materials are the primary drivers for this segment. OCC is highly recyclable and is in high demand for the production of new corrugated boxes and other paper products. The large volume of OCC generated, coupled with its easy recyclability, makes it a significant contributor to the waste paper management market.
The chemical recycling segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
Chemical recycling is expected to witness the highest growth rate in the market. This innovative recycling method enables the recycling of complex and contaminated waste paper that cannot be processed through traditional mechanical recycling. Chemical recycling allows for the production of high-quality recycled paper and opens up new possibilities for the use of recycled materials in various applications. As the demand for high-grade recycled paper grows, the chemical recycling segment is poised for significant growth.
Europe is expected to hold the largest share in the waste paper management market. The region has a well-established waste paper collection and recycling infrastructure, supported by stringent regulations and environmental policies. The European Union's circular economy initiatives and targets for waste reduction and recycling have driven the growth of the waste paper management industry in the region. Additionally, the high consumer awareness and preference for eco-friendly products in Europe contribute to the strong demand for recycled paper and the dominance of the region in the market.
The Asia Pacific region is expected to exhibit the highest growth rate in the waste paper management market. The region's rapidly growing population, urbanization, and industrialization are generating substantial amounts of waste paper. Countries like China and India are witnessing a surge in e-commerce activities and the use of packaging materials, leading to an increased generation of OCC and other waste paper. Moreover, governments in the region are implementing policies and initiatives to promote waste paper recycling and sustainable waste management practices. As awareness grows and infrastructure improves, the Asia Pacific region is poised for significant growth in the waste paper management market.
