Many governments and nonprofit organizations are taking initiatives to scale up the recycling of plastic waste that ends up in oceans and landfills. These initiatives are meant to promote environmental sustainability and minimize the overall carbon footprints.  For instance, The Ocean Cleanup, a nonprofit foundation based in the Netherlands, is engaged in the development and scaling of technologies to collect and recycle ocean-bound plastics. The organization uses computational modeling to recognize plastic hotspots in the oceans and place its clean-up systems near these areas to collect the plastic trash. The collected plastic waste is transferred to a recycling unit, and the recycled plastic resins are used to manufacture durable products. The Ocean Cleanup aims to remove 90% of the floating ocean plastics by 2040 and produce valuable and useful products from it. Further, governments are implementing favorable regulations that promote the use of products made from recycled ocean plastics. So, government policies is expected to drive the Europe recycled ocean plastics market expansion.
