The Bio plastics and Biopolymers Market

Bio-plastics and Biopolymers are a form of plastics and polymers which are derived from renewable biomass source such as vegetable oils and fats, starch corn, technology which has a complex network, intelligent control system and home automation system as its primary components.  Bio-plastics can be produced from agricultural by-products and from used plastic bottles or other containers using microorganisms. Petroleum-based polymers are generally plastics which are found everywhere including fossil-fuel plastics. These are usually obtained from natural gas or petroleum. One of the major factors propelling the growth in the biopolymers and bio-plastic market is the riding of bio-based and renewable raw materials. The reliance on petroleum-based plastics is slowly decreasing with the growing use of bio-plastic in various applications such as packaging and domestic goods. The efficient use of biomass, such as trees, grass, plants and other natural materials such as animal meat and other tissues which decompose by the activities of microorganisms, will help in creating a bio-based economy. The raw materials utilized in the production of biopolymers are renewable in nature and are available in huge amount across the world, compared to petroleum- and fossil-based raw materials. Moreover, the rising importance of biopolymers and bio-plastic is another key factor fueling the biopolymers and bio-plastic market share growth. The traditional plastics take around 100 years to break down after having been in the landfill whereas, biopolymers and bio-plastic can break down and be absorbed back to the environment, and microorganisms can act better and quicker on biopolymers and bio-plastic. In addition to this, the rising instance of waste piles in landfills is an extreme environmental concern in various developing countries. The legal framework across various countries is offering incentives for the use of bio-plastics around the world, enhancing the growth of the global biopolymers and bio-plastic market. On the other hand, the high cost of bio-plastics compared to traditional plastics is a key factor to impede the market growth. 

The bio-plastics and biopolymers market players are constantly implementing organic and inorganic strategies for their growth. In the recent past, the players have made various strategic developments in the developing countries of Asia pacific. For instance, Indonesia is exploring bio-plastic alternatives, such as seaweed. Evoware, a local player, offers patented seaweed-based packaging. The company is manufacturing containers made out of seaweed. The regulations associated to the environment are projected to increase, which would eventually accelerate the demand for bio-plastics in these countries in the future which creates a significant opportunity to the biopolymers and bio-plastic market.
