화학적 재활용 또는 공급원료 재활용이라고도 불리는 첨단 재활용은 폐기물을 분자 수준까지 분해하여 새로운 원료로 전환하는 과정입니다. 이해관계자들이 지금까지 재활용할 수 없었던 플라스틱 폐기물에 대한 해결책을 모색하는 가운데, 첨단 재활용 시장은 큰 성장세를 보이고 있습니다. 주로 폴리머를 재형성하는 기계적 재활용과 달리 고급 재활용은 재료를 분자 단위로 분해하여 더 넓은 범위의 플라스틱 및 기타 재료의 진정한 순환성을 실현합니다.

이 시장은 증가하는 규제 압력, 기업의 지속가능성에 대한 노력, 여러 변환 플랫폼에 걸친 기술 성숙에 의해 주도되고 있습니다. 주요 기술로는 열분해, 가스화, 용매 분해, 용매 분해, 해중합 등이 있으며, 각 기술은 특정 폴리머 흐름 또는 최종 제품 용도를 대상으로 합니다. 이 부문에 대한 투자 흐름은 급격히 가속화되고 있으며, 2020년 이후 75억 달러 이상의 투자가 약속되어 있습니다. 첨단 재활용과 기존 석유화학 인프라의 통합은 기존 유통망과 기술 전문성을 통해 배포상의 이점을 창출할 수 있습니다.

규제 프레임워크는 점점 더 선진적인 재활용 채택을 지지하는 방향으로 변화하고 있습니다. 유럽연합의 Circular Economy Action Plan과 Plastic Packaging Levy는 재활용 제품에 대한 직접적인 경제적 인센티브를 제공하고 있으며, 미국 EPA와 주정부 차원의 법률은 화학물질 재활용을 폐기물 처리가 아닌 정당한 재활용으로 인식하고 있습니다. 이러한 발전에도 불구하고 과제는 여전히 남아 있습니다. 자본 집약도는 연간 생산 능력 1톤당 1,500-4,000달러로 여전히 높으며, 이는 급속한 확장에 대한 경제적 장벽으로 작용하고 있습니다. 촉매 개발 및 공정 통합을 통해 공정 수율과 에너지 효율이 지속적으로 개선되어 경제성이 점차 개선되고 있습니다. 원료의 품질과 일관성은 운영상의 문제이며, 오염 물질은 촉매의 성능과 제품 품질에 영향을 미칠 수 있습니다.

시장 예측에 따르면, 선진 재활용은 2030년까지 연간 2,000만-2,500만 톤의 플라스틱 폐기물을 처리할 것으로 예상되며, 이는 전 세계 플라스틱 생산량의 약 5-7%에 해당합니다. 전체 플라스틱 생산량에서 차지하는 비중은 여전히 작지만, 현재 수준(1% 미만)에서 크게 증가하여 이전에는 매립 또는 소각 처리되던 물질에 대한 의미 있는 순환 경로를 창출할 수 있습니다. 이 부문의 진화는 깨끗하고 균일한 흐름을 위해 기계식 재활용과 직접 경쟁하는 것이 아니라 고급 재활용이 고유한 가치를 제공하는 특수 용도에 점점 더 초점을 맞추었습니다. 이 보완적인 접근 방식은 다양한 재료의 품질과 오염 수준에서 환경적, 경제적 성능을 최적화하면서 플라스틱 폐기물의 전체 범위를 다루고 있습니다.

이 보고서는 세계 첨단 화학제품 및 공급 원료 재활용 시장을 조사했으며, 빠르게 진화하는 기술, 시장 역학, 성장 기회에 대한 상세한 분석을 제공합니다.

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.

"The Advanced (Chemical or Feedstock) Recycling Market 2025-2040" report provides an in-depth analysis of the rapidly evolving technologies, market dynamics, and growth opportunities in the advanced (chemical or feedstock) recycling sector.
