食品用途向けPCRの未来（～2029年）

主な事実

• 2024年、世界の食品用途向けPCR包装消費は120万トンを超えました。
• 2019年～2024年、市場数量の年間成長率は平均9%を超えており、これは食品・飲料などの最終用途部門における旺盛な需要や、プラスチック包装の製造における再生材料の使用の重視によるものです。

世界のプラスチック包装産業における食品用途向けPCRの需要は伸び続けており、包装内の再生材料の量を増やすよう企業に対する圧力が高まっています。今日まで、プラスチック包装における食品用途向けPCRの採用は、入手性や材料の品質に対する懸念などの要因によって制限されてきました。

ポストコンシューマーリサイクル（PCR）とは、家庭や商業施設から発生し、焼却や埋め立てに回されることなく、新しい製品にリサイクルされた材料のことです。包装産業の例としては、飲料のPETボトルやその他のフードコンタクトプラスチックがあります。食品用途向けPCRは、食品・飲料の包装に再使用するために調達され、加工され、除染された樹脂です。投入材料は、食品と接触して再使用する認証を得るために、定められた規制仕様と適正製造規範を満たさなければなりません。

当レポートでは、世界の食品用途向けPCR市場について調査分析し、技術開発、促進要因と動向、バージン材との比較などの情報を提供しています。

Key facts:

• In 2024, global consumption of food-grade PCR packaging amounted to more than 1.2 million tonnes
• Between 2019 and 2024, annual growth in market volume averaged more than 9%, driven by strong demand in end-use sectors such as food and drinks, as well as greater emphasis on the use of recycled material in the manufacture of plastics packaging.

Global demand for food-grade PCR within the plastics packaging industry continues to grow, with more pressure on businesses to increase the amount of recycled material within their packaging. To date, adoption of food-grade PCR in plastics packaging has been limited by factors such as availability and concerns over the quality of the material.

Post-consumer recyclate (PCR) is defined as materials generated by household or commercial facilities, which have been recycled into new products instead of being incinerated or sent to landfill. Examples from the packaging industry include PET beverage bottles, and other food contact plastics. Food-grade PCR are resins that have been sourced, processed and decontaminated for re-use in food and beverage packaging. The input materials must meet defined regulatory specifications and good manufacturing practices, to achieve certification for re-use in contact with food.

Key Questions:

• How will the latest, more wide-ranging PCR requirements, including those set by the PPWR, impact food-grade PCR supply?
• How will the latest technology, including automated sorting and the arrival of commercial-scale chemical (advanced) recycling, transform the market over the next five years?
• How will PCR materials perform, compared to virgin resins, when converted into a new generation of food and beverage packs?
• How will the price of food-grade PCR perform relative to virgin resins?
