Plastics – the Facts 2010 An analysis of European plastics production, demand and recovery for 2009 epro-plasticsrecycling.org[1].pdf 2009 Performance summary • Global plastics production fell back from 245 million tonnes in 2008 to 230 million tonnes for 2009 as a consequence of the continued economic slowdown. • Europe produced 55 million tonnes and remained a major region contributing 24% of the global total. • Plastics long term growth is expected to be around 4% globally, higher than global GDP growth. Average consumption is significantly below the level of ‘mature’ industrial regions so there is room for future growth. • Demand from European converters fell back 7.2% to 45 million tonnes in 2009. Volume share of all countries remained largely unchanged. • Polyethylene (PE-LD, PE-HD, PE-LLD) and polypropylene (PP) account for around 50% of demand with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) being the third largest polymer at 11%. • Packaging is the largest end use market segment with 40.1% share. This is followed by building and construction (20.4%) and Automotive (7.0%). • Seven of the EU Member States plus Norway and Switzerland recover more than 84% of their used plastics. • The EU Member States plus Norway and Switzerland treated 24.3 million tonnes of post consumer waste in 2009. This results in an overall recovery rate from post-consumer plastic waste of 54%, up 2.7 percentage points compared to 2008. The mechanical recycling rate up 1.2 percentage point to 22.2% and the energy recovery rate is up by 1.5 percentage points to 31.5% and landfill rate is down by 2.7 percentage points to 45.8%.
