Global plastic use for packaging is projected to total 381 million metric tons by 2060. Polypropylene (PP) is expected to account for roughly 24 percent of polymers used for packaging that year, while 16 percent will be made up from polyethylene terephthalate (PET). By 2060, plastic packaging is projected to account for more than 30 percent of plastics use worldwide.
