Recycling — Circular Opportunities & Waste-to-Value Pathways

Market overview: Recycling is shifting from cost-centre to resource opportunity as material recovery technologies and regulatory pressures elevate the value of secondary materials.

Key drivers: Material commodity prices, regulatory mandates (EPR, recycling quotas), collection infrastructure, technology for separation and processing, and corporate sustainability targets.

Size & growth: Growing demand for high-quality recycled feedstock in manufacturing; segments such as e-waste and specialty plastics see above-average expansion.

Key trends: Investment in scaling sorting and chemical recycling, integration of supply from informal sectors into formal streams, and corporates securing recycled content supply agreements.

Competitive landscape: Processors, material aggregators, technology licensors, waste collection operators and off-takers. Market fragmentation persists regionally.

Opportunities: Aggregation platforms for feedstock, tech-enabled quality improvement, offtake contract structuring, and industrial symbiosis projects that convert waste into feedstock.

Risks & mitigations: Feedstock contamination, policy uncertainty, capital intensity of advanced recycling. Mitigations: staged capital deployment, quality control protocols, blended revenue models with anchor offtakes.

How Veyron delivers value: We identify commercially viable recycling pathways and partnership structures that convert regulatory pressure into new revenue streams and reduce operational risk.
