Increasing Use of Plastics & Need for Developing Alternative Fuels: Key Drivers for U.S. Plastic-to-Fuel Market

The U.S. Plastic-to-fuel market is driven by number of factors such as increasing use of plastic, leading to easy availability of feedstock. As estimated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), plastics accounted for approximately 12.7% of the total Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) generation in the U.S. in 2012.

Strong need for an alternative fuel due to depleting natural hydrocarbon resources across the globe is also a strong driver for the growth of the U.S. plastic-to-fuel market. Furthermore, increasing tipping cost of landfills, coupled with a need for solid plastic waste recycling technology is amongst key factors leading to growth in the market.

However, the high initial setup cost of waste processing facilities, in addition to technological complexities occurring due to the delicate relationship between the type of waste plastic processed, technology, and the output can pose key challenges for growth.
