先進ケミカル/フィードストックリサイクルの世界市場（2025年～2040年）

先進リサイクルは、ケミカルリサイクルまたはフィードストックリサイクルとも呼ばれ、廃棄物を分子レベルまで分解して新しい原材料に変換するプロセスです。ステークホルダーがこれまでリサイクルできなかったプラスチック廃棄物のソリューションを模索する中、先進リサイクル市場は大きな成長を示しています。主にポリマーを再形成するメカニカルリサイクルとは異なり、先進リサイクルでは材料を分子単位に分解し、より幅広いプラスチックやその他の材料の真の循環性を実現します。

この市場は、規制圧力の高まり、企業の持続可能性への取り組み、複数の変換プラットフォームにわたる技術の成熟によって推進されています。主な技術には、熱分解、ガス化、溶媒分解、解重合などがあり、それぞれが特定のポリマーの流れまたは最終製品の用途をターゲットにしています。この部門への投資フローは劇的に加速しており、2020年以降75億米ドルを超える投資がコミットされています。先進リサイクルと従来の石油化学インフラの統合により、既存の流通ネットワークと技術的専門知識を通じて展開上の利点が生まれます。

規制枠組みは、先進リサイクルの採用をますます支持するようになっています。欧州連合のCircular Economy Action PlanとPlastic Packaging Levyは、再生品に対する直接的な経済的インセンティブを生み出し、一方、米国のEPAと州レベルの法律は、ケミカルリサイクルを廃棄物処理ではなく正当なリサイクルとしてますます認識しています。これらの進歩にもかかわらず、課題は残っています。資本集約度は年間生産能力1トンあたり1,500～4,000ドルと高いままであり、急速な拡張に対する経済的障壁となっています。プロセスの歩留まりとエネルギー効率は、触媒の開発とプロセス統合を通じて継続的に改善され、徐々に経済性が向上しています。原料の品質と一貫性は運用上の課題であり、汚染物質は触媒の性能と製品の品質に影響を及ぼす可能性があります。

市場予測によると、先進リサイクルは2030年までに年間2,000万～2,500万トンのプラスチック廃棄物を処理する見込みで、これは世界のプラスチック生産の約5～7%に相当します。プラスチック総量に占める割合は依然として小さい一方、現在のレベル（1%未満）から大幅に増加し、以前は埋め立てまたは焼却処分されていた材料に有意義な循環経路を生み出します。この部門の進化は、クリーンで均質な流れを求めてメカニカルリサイクルと直接競合するのではなく、先進リサイクルが独自の価値を提供する特殊な用途にますます注力しています。この補完的なアプローチは、さまざまな材料の品質と汚染レベルにわたって環境的、経済的パフォーマンスを最適化しながら、プラスチック廃棄物の全範囲に対処します。

当レポートでは、世界の先進ケミカル/フィードストックリサイクル市場について調査し、急速に進化する技術、市場力学、成長機会の詳細な分析を提供しています。

Advanced recycling, sometimes referred to as chemical or feedstock recycling, is a process that breaks down waste to the molecular level so it can be converted to new raw materials. The advanced recycling market is experiencing major growth as stakeholders seek solutions for previously unrecyclable plastic waste. Unlike mechanical recycling, which primarily reshapes polymers, advanced recycling breaks materials down to molecular building blocks, enabling true circularity for a wider range of plastics and other materials.

The market is driven by increasing regulatory pressure, corporate sustainability commitments, and technological maturation across multiple conversion platforms. Leading technologies include pyrolysis, gasification, solvolysis, and depolymerization, each targeting specific polymer streams or end-product applications. Investment flows into the sector have accelerated dramatically, with over $7.5 billion committed since 2020. This integration of advanced recycling with conventional petrochemical infrastructure creates deployment advantages through existing distribution networks and technical expertise.

Regulatory frameworks increasingly support advanced recycling adoption. The European Union's Circular Economy Action Plan and Plastic Packaging Levy create direct economic incentives for recycled content, while the U.S. EPA and state-level legislation increasingly recognize chemical recycling as legitimate recycling rather than waste disposal. Challenges persist despite these advances. Capital intensity remains high at $1,500-4,000 per ton of annual capacity, creating economic barriers to rapid scaling. Process yield and energy efficiency improvements continue through catalyst development and process integration, gradually improving economics. Feedstock quality and consistency represent operational challenges, with contaminants potentially affecting catalyst performance and product quality.

Market forecasts suggest advanced recycling will process 20-25 million tons of plastic waste annually by 2030, representing approximately 5-7% of global plastic production. While still a modest fraction of total plastics volume, this represents significant growth from current levels (<1%) and creates meaningful circular pathways for materials previously destined for landfills or incineration. The sector's evolution increasingly focuses on specialized applications where advanced recycling provides unique value rather than competing directly with mechanical recycling for clean, homogeneous streams. This complementary approach addresses the full spectrum of plastic waste while optimizing environmental and economic performance across different material qualities and contamination levels.
