Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Chemical recycling is still quite nascent in the Middle East despite being one of the largest manufacturers of polymer resins in the world, with steady growth in demand from the local consumer goods market and easy access to key raw materials. Some encouraging developments could be observed as projects continue to be announced in the region, which is expected to increase the plastics recycling industry and waste collection systems, a top priority for Gulf governments.
