Expansion of recycled PET manufacturing capacity is expected to strengthen India’s circular packaging supply chain in 2026
The recycled PET (rPET) packaging market is expected to witness strong growth in 2026–2027 due to increasing regulatory mandates, rising demand for sustainable packaging, and global supply chain disruptions affecting virgin PET availability. Governments and regulatory bodies are actively promoting circular economy models to reduce plastic waste and improve environmental sustainability across the packaging industry. On March 16, 2026, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India granted authorisation to 17 recycled PET manufacturing plants, adding approximately 300,000 tonnes of capacity to India’s circular packaging ecosystem. The development is expected to support India’s mandatory recycled content requirements in plastic packaging, which begin at 30% in 2025–26 and gradually increase to 60% by 2028–29. Additionally, this expansion is expected to strengthen domestic supply chains for food-grade packaging materials, particularly for the beverage bottling industry, while reducing dependency on virgin PET amid global raw material volatility.
Strategic international collaborations are expected to accelerate rPET ecosystem development in India in 2025
The recycled PET industry is expected to experience increasing cross-border collaborations in 2025–2026 as companies focus on building advanced chemical recycling infrastructure and strengthening circular supply chains. Rising environmental regulations and corporate sustainability commitments are encouraging investment in large-scale recycling technologies and integrated material recovery systems. In 2025, LNJ GreenPET and Sumitomo Corporation signed a Memorandum of Understanding to develop a joint rPET chemical recycling ecosystem in India. The collaboration focuses on supply chain integration, raw material optimization, and establishing a commercial production roadmap for 2026. The partnership is expected to support India’s transition toward a circular PET packaging industry by improving recycling efficiency and enabling large-scale production of food-grade recycled PET. Furthermore, increasing global emphasis on sustainable packaging, plastic waste reduction policies, and extended producer responsibility frameworks is expected to further accelerate growth in the recycled PET market during the forecast period.
