Recycled Market Segment Insights

Cullets segment is anticipated to grow at a high rate during the forecast period

On the basis of products, the market can be segmented into crushed glass, cullets, and glass powder. The cullets segment can be further divided into clean cullets, amber cullets, and green cullets. The cullets segment is anticipated to grow at a high rate during the forecast period. Cullets are used to make glass jars, glass bottles and fiber glass. It reduces the raw material required and increases the life of furnaces. Large cullets are used for making roads after mixing it with cement. Small cullets are mixed it with ceramics, bricks, and blocks to reduce baking temperature. It is also used to improve the soil quality. Cullets are also majorly used to manufacture glass containers and bottles.

Fiber glass segment is projected hold a significant share in the market during the projected period

In terms of applications, the market can be divided into glass bottle & containers, flat glass, fiber glass, highway beads, abrasives, fillers, and others. The fiber glass segment is projected hold a significant share in the market during the projected period. Fiber glass is a lightweight product and it can be made into any preferable shape. They exhibit properties such as better electrical insulation, low thermal conductivity, and good resistive properties. The extensive variety of properties has increased its application in various industries such as beverages, car wash, cooling towers, aerospace & defense, automotive industry, and metals & mining.

Europe to hold a significant share in the market

Based on regions the market can be divided into Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. Europe is estimated to account for a largest share of this market.
