To cater to the rising demand for electronics from the growing population, end-use electronic industries are simultaneously upgrading smartphones, computers, laptops, smartwatches, and other consumer electronic devices. The COVID-19 pandemic propelled the demand for consumer electronic products, mainly laptops and mobile phones, due to the implementation of work-from-home policies across various countries. The life expectancy of plastics in consumer electronics is high, which has resulted in rising e-waste across the globe. The growing e-waste is a major problem due to the lack of waste management systems.

The environmental concerns arising from discarded electronic equipment and rising e-waste are being controlled by various countries. According to Plastics Europe, in 2020, European countries including Switzerland, Austria, the Netherlands, Germany, and Norway implemented landfill restrictions on recyclable waste. Switzerland, Austria, and the Netherlands have attained their targets of zero landfill. Plastic recycling has helped in controlling environmental issues, such as the addition of toxic substances into the soil microplastics entrapment in aquatic species, emission of greenhouse gases, and others, arising from plastic manufacturing to plastic dumping in landfills and oceans.

Moreover, the raw material for producing recycled plastic resins is economical compared to virgin plastics. Many plastic resin manufacturers have started producing post-consumer recycled plastic resins blended with virgin plastics. Applications, where the recycled plastic resins will be used, include consumer electronics and accessories such as chargers & adapters, printers, copiers, and laptop housing. The ready availability and the increase in the plastic waste can prove to be a driving factor for the post-consumer recycled plastics market over the forecast period. Moreover, the use of e-waste can reduce the number of landfills across the globe.
