DESCRIPTION

Bioplastic refer to a type of compostable plastic derived from renewable biomass source, such as potato-starch vegetable oil, corn-starch, microbial, and pea starch, instead of fossil-fuel based plastics that are made from petroleum products. Bio-derived bulk plastics such as polyethylene (PE), polylactic acid (PLA) and others have renewable raw material base. Biodegradable plastics support biowaste collection and thereby increase waste stream efficiency.

Bioplasticshaveseveral advantages ascomparedtoconventional plastics suchasimprovedbarrier effect, attractiveappearance, biodegradable and recyclable, lower greenhouse gases, and antistatic behavior. (he use of e#cessive fossilfuelbased plastic has led to increase in to#ic landfills, polluted water and carbondio#ide emission, which is further affecting soil fertility and public health around the world. !s a result, governmentof variouscountrieshasbeenencouragingproductionanduseof bioplastic, especiallyfor thenon-durableconsumer goods packaging re$uirement."n the basis of various product types, the global bioplastic packaging market can be divided as renewable baseandpetrochemical base. )urther, therenewablebasebioplasticcanbefurther segmentedasbio-derivedpolyethylene(PE), starch, aliphaticandaromaticpolyesters, cellulose, polyhydro#yalkanoates(P*!),moldedfiber, aliphatic-aromatic co-polyester (!!%), polylactic acid (P!), water soluble polymer (+,P) and others.Based on packaging type, global bioplastic packaging market can be categori-ed as rigid plastic packaging andfle#ible packaging.
