Building on 5 successful editions, PRCA brings together recyclers, brand owners, technology providers, policymakers, and investors to address key market, technology, and regulatory challenges. The two-day conference covers recycling innovations, EPR frameworks, quality standards, sustainability metrics, and global trade of recyclates, alongside the *PRCA Awards & Recognition Ceremony.
Organised under the **PolyMint* platform, PRCA 2026 enables meaningful dialogue, collaboration, and actionable insights to support the transition toward a resilient and scalable circular plastics economy.PRCA 2026 will also oer high-impact branding, lead generation, and partnership opportunities for sponsors and exhibitors seeking strong industry visibility.
Global plastics production: Over 450 million tonnes per year (modern-era high), reflecting steep growth since 1950. Source: Our World in Data. (Citation: Our World in Data — Plastic production dataset).
Global recycling performance: Only around 9–10% of plastic waste is eectively recycled; much of collected material is contaminated or downcycled. Source: OECD / UNEP analyses. (Citation: OECD/Global Plastics Outlook and UNEP briefs)
Global recycled-plastics market value (services & traded recyclates): estimated at ~USD 26.6 billion in 2023 (plastic recycling services market), with forecasts showing a high-single-digit CAGR to 2030. Source: Grand View Research / MarketsandMarkets. (Citation: Grand View Research – Plastic Recycling Services Market 2023–2030).
Growth drivers: strong packaging demand, rising EPR commitments, brand targets for recycled content, and investment in advanced recycling technologies (chemical recycling, depolymerization, solvent-based recovery).
As Virgin resin prices fluctuate, demand for quality recyclates increases; brand commitments to recycled content are driving o-take agreements and investment in domestic recycling capacity
Policy momentum (national EPR programs and global treaty negotiations) is accelerating infrastructure finance and private-sector engagement.
next-generation recycling technologies.
evolving regulations and EPR frameworks.
adoption of recycled materials.
partnerships and investments.
innovation and entrepreneurship.
recycling infrastructure and capacity.

Asia-Pacific share of global plastics production: the Asia-Pacific region produces just over half of the world's plastics (≈52% of global production in recent years), led by China. Source: regional analyses (ERM / academic reviews). (Citation: ERM / academic reviews on regional production share).
Regional recycling performance: e ective recycling rates in Asia-Pacific vary widely (roughly 6–19% depending on country), with an APT (Asia-Pacific) average near 12% e ectively recycled in recent assessments. Source: OECD Regional Plastics Outlook. (Citation: OECD Regional Plastics Outlook for Southeast & East Asia).
Asia recycled-plastics volumes and projections: several market analyses estimate that recycled plastics tonnage and market value in APAC are growing rapidly — driven by regional investments, policy targets, and large-scale collection initiatives. Some sources report APAC recycled volumes in the multiple tens of millions of tonnes annually and high single-digit CAGR forecasts to 2030.
China: largest producer and consumer within the region; major shifts in policy since the National Sword policy and large domestic recycling investments.
Southeast Asia: rapid growth in consumption and recognized as a critical region for improving collection and preventing mismanaged waste that ends up in rivers and oceans.
Production concentration: with over half the world's plastics produced in Asia, regional recycling capacity, standards, and trade flows will shape global recyclate markets and prices.
Large opportunity: scaling mechanical and advanced recycling in Asia oers the biggest single opportunity to reduce global mismanaged plastic flows and create industrial value chains.
