The triumph of polymers is unstoppable: The world\u2019s plastic consumption<\/a> doubles approximately every 20 years; in the emerging markets of Africa and Asia, it is even expected to triple. Bioplastics are benefiting from this boom: There are \u201cgreen\u201d alternatives to plastics made from crude oil or natural gas for an increasing number of applications. To reduce the ecological footprint, even petrochemical products are increasingly being mixed with biomass. The latest and already ninth edition of Ceresana\u2019s bioplastics market report anticipates further growth: Market researchers forecast that the global bio-based and biodegradable plastic market size will reach around USD 12 billion by 2034.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][image_with_animation image_url=”12158″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”center” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_column_text]\n

The bioplastics market report primarily analyzes the global market for thermoplastics made from renewable raw materials that are biodegradable i.e. can be decomposed by microorganisms in nature or at least composted in industrial plants. PHA from sugar and TPS from starch, for example, are bio-based and biodegradable. However, there are also plastics made from biogenic raw materials that are not compostable, such as PEF made from fructose or bio-polyethylene based on sugar cane. The market study also covers petrochemical, biodegradable plastics such as polycaprolactone (PCL), polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT), or polybutylene succinate (PBS). This study does not cover biobased elastomers<\/a>, thermosets, natural fiber-reinforced plastics (NFRP) as well as composites<\/a> such as wood-plastic composites (WPC).<\/p>\n

Compost Soil Instead of Waste Crisis<\/h2>\n

The environmental impact of this ubiquitous wonder material is a challenge. Even in comparatively environmentally conscious Europe, the majority of the around 42.5 million tonnes of plastic waste generated there each year is still incinerated or landfilled \u2013 only around 20% is recycled. According to a new report by the EU\u2019s Joint Research Centre (JRC), around 3.7 million tons of plastic waste are \u201clost in the environment\u201d in Europe every year, mainly due to littering, mismanagement, and textile washing: Almost 6% of all European plastic consumption ends up in the ground or water. To remedy this, the EU researchers recommend more recycling \u2013 but also more bioplastics. The new EU packaging regulation (PPWR) now stipulates for the first time that all packaging must soon be reusable or recyclable, and in certain cases also compostable. The EU Commission is working on binding quotas for the use of bio-based raw materials. The industry is eagerly awaiting the new \u201cEU Bioeconomy Strategy\u201d, which is planned for the end of 2025, and the \u201cCircular Economy Act\u201d, which is due in 2026. To date, however, most biopolymer materials have not been produced in Europe, but in Asia-Pacific. Ceresana expects this region of the world, which has sugar cane and other low-cost biomass raw materials at its disposal, to see the highest growth in the coming years. In addition to market data and forecasts, the study also contains information on the regulatory framework as well as on the general economic environment and the situation in the packaging industry (including key companies, market size, recycling rates) in each country.<\/p>\n

Innovations for Sustainable Applications<\/h2>\n

The packaging industry <\/a>is the largest consumer of plastics today. The advantages of the following bioplastics, which are currently by far the best-selling materials, are particularly evident in flexible packaging<\/a>: Polylactic acids (PLA)<\/a> and starch polymers (especially TPS) offer higher permeability, biodegradability, and a good \u201cgreen\u201d image among consumers. For the starch-based bioplastics and polylactic acid market, Ceresana\u2019s latest market report expects further volume growth of 7.7% per year until 2034. For bio-based but non-biodegradable plastics, such as bio-polyethylene, bio-PET, or bio-PA, growth is expected to be lower at 5.3% per year. Like conventional petrochemical plastics, the various polymers made from biogenic raw materials each have areas of application for which they are particularly well suited. Biocompatibility, for example, is an advantage for medical implants. Compostability is required for agricultural films and flower pots. In 3D printing, bio-filaments are valued not least because they do not smell of burnt plastic. The analysts at Ceresana are currently registering the highest growth rates for innovative bioplastics in the automotive and electronics sectors.<\/p>\n
