Recycling Equipment Market Outlook:
Recycling Equipment Market size was valued at USD 32.36 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 55.28 billion by 2035, expanding at around 5.5% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2026-2035. In the year 2026, the industry size of recycling equipment is evaluated at USD 33.96 billion.
The surging concern for managing waste is the major factor driving the recycling equipment market growth. For instance, as estimated by the UN Environmental Program, the generation of Municipal solid waste is forecasted to surge globally to 3.8 billion tons by 2050 highest from 2023. As a result, the need for recycling to control waste creation is estimated to rise. As policymakers and brand owners alike consider how to reduce plastic pollution, recover and reuse more containers, and generally move towards a circular economy, deposit return systems are being evaluated as a policy tool for their ability to significantly raise beverage container recycling rates.
