According to the Global GRS Certified Recycled Plastic Market Outlook & Forecast 2026–2033, released by 24Chemical Research on June 3, 2026, the global market for GRS-certified recycled plastics was valued at USD 21.3 billion in 2025. The report projects the market to reach USD 61.5 billion by 2034, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.5% during the forecast period.
The report attributes this growth to increasingly stringent environmental regulations, including the European Union's Single-Use Plastics Directive, as well as the rising commitment of global brands to sustainable sourcing and circular economy initiatives. As regulatory requirements continue to evolve, certified recycled packaging materials are becoming an important consideration for manufacturers, retailers, and brand owners worldwide.
As a manufacturer specializing in custom flexible packaging, Sun Pak has continued to expand its capabilities in certified recycled packaging solutions. Located in Dongguan, China, the company operates a 10,000 m² production facility integrating product development, manufacturing, and quality control.
To support customers' sustainability goals, Sun Pak holds both GRS (Global Recycled Standard) and EN15343 certifications issued by internationally recognized certification bodies, including Intertek and TÜV. The company supplies recycled plastic packaging with multiple recycled-content options, including 30%, 50%, 70%, and 100% recycled material, helping customers meet different regulatory and procurement requirements across global markets.
As demand for certified recycled packaging continues to grow, manufacturers with transparent material traceability and internationally recognized certifications are expected to play an increasingly important role in supporting brands' environmental objectives and compliance strategies.
