Growing packaging end-use industry leads to an increasing demand for bioplastics & biopolymers

Bioplastics and particularly biodegradable bioplastics, have growing demand to substitute conventional plastics in order to address environmental concerns. Bioplastics use is growing in applications such as bottles, clamshell cartons, films, mulch films, carrier bags, waste collection bags, and food service-ware. Packaging is one of the end-use industries that lead the bioplastics & biopolymers market.

Governments focus on green procurement policies and rules to increase the demand for bioplastics & biopolymers

Increasing need to decrease the dependency on conventional fossil fuels is driving the demand for bio-based products. This is also attributed due to new regulations and policies implemented and undertaken by the government bodies across the globe. These rules and regulations involves banning or implementing additional surcharges on the utilization of conventional plastics in applications, such as packaging materials, shopping bags, and disposables. Further, growing regulations and prohibitions against plastic bags and other plastic items are boosting the market for bioplastics & biopolymers across the globe.
