Global Biodegradable Plastics Market Overview

Global Biodegradable Plastics Market was valued at USD 3.78 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach USD 6.48 billion by the year 2028, at a CAGR of 8%.

Biodegradation is the property of a material that can be completely converted into water, CO2, and biomass by the action of microorganisms such as fungi and bacteria. Biodegradable plastics can be decomposed by microorganisms present in the environment by penetrating the microbial food chain. Biodegradable plastics can be decomposed by the action of living organisms, usual microbes, carbon dioxide, into the water, and biomass. Biodegradable plastics are produced with microorganisms, renewable raw materials, and petrochemicals. Additionally, the potential of biodegradable plastics and more particularly that of polymers obtained from renewable resources such as polysaccharides (e.g., starch) have long been acknowledged. Nevertheless, these biodegradable plastics have been extensively utilized in some and have not found massive applications in the packaging industries to put back conventional plastic materials, although they could be an interesting way to reduce the limitation of the petrochemical resources in the future. Furthermore, fossil fuel and gas could be partially replaced by greener agricultural sources, which should add to the reduction of CO2 emissions. Bio-based and biodegradable plastics can form the basis for environmentally acceptable, sustainable substitutes to current materials based exclusively on petroleum feedstocks. These bio-based materials offer value in the sustainability/life-cycle equation by being a part of the biological carbon cycle, particularly as it associates with carbon-based polymeric materials such as plastics, water-soluble polymers, and other carbon-based products such as biodiesel, lubricants, and detergents. Moreover, identification and specification of biobased content use radioactive C-14 signature. Biopolymers are generally able to be utilized by living matter (biodegraded), and so can be prepared in safe and ecologically sound ways through disposal processes (waste management) such as soil application, composting, and biological wastewater treatment. Single-use, short-life, disposable products can be prepared or developed to be bio-based and biodegradable. Additionally, plastic and its massive waste have become a major environmental issue globally also with growing issues related to petroleum-based plastics such as disposal management motivate growth in the biodegradable plastics market.
