Packaging is the largest end-use industry for bioplastics & biopolymers. The need for sustainable solutions has encompassed several industry verticals, including food & beverage. In addition, enhanced industrial & manufacturing technologies have enabled the food & beverage companies to incorporate bioplastics in packaging. The demand for packaging made from bioplastics for wrapping organic food as well as for premium and branded products is on the rise. Preference for packaging materials made from natural or organic polymers, derived from biomass sources, such as fats, oils, starch, and microbiota, is driving the market in the packaging end-use industry.
Packaging
Packaging protects goods during distribution, transportation, storage, and use. It is indispensable for preserving and moving goods, which cater to various sectors such as retail, institutional, and industrial. Change in the lifestyle of consumers has triggered the importance of polymer and use of packaging products, as they provide protection and containment. The packaging industry uses different materials such as glass, metals, wood, and polymers for packaging different types of products. Plastic constitutes 40.0% of the packaging materials. Properties of plastics such as high durability, plasticity, and impermeability to water have encouraged their use. However, increasing environmental regulations have restrained the use of conventional polymers, especially carry bags and packages, which is driving the demand for bioplastics & biopolymers. Packaging applications of bioplastics & biopolymers include food packaging, pharmaceutical packaging, cosmetics packaging, and shopping bags.
Procter & Gamble and Johnson & Johnson use bio-PE for packaging various kinds of cosmetic products. PLA is widely used owing to its high recyclability. The increasing demand for eco-friendly packaging made from bio-based polymers is driving the demand for products such as PLA, PHA, and starch-based polymers in different applications.
Consumer goods
Bioplastics & biopolymers have a wide variety of applications in consumer products and can be used in casings, circuit boards, touchscreen computer casings, loudspeakers, keyboard elements, mobile casings, vacuum cleaners, and mouse for laptops.
SUPLA has developed optimized PLA for the electronics industry. Similarly, the world’s first bioplastic touchscreen computer was developed in collaboration with a Taiwanese OEM/ODM, Kuender. The PLA blends used in the monitor screens also bring improved impact resistance; excellent high gloss finish; and stable and precise processing.
Europe is the largest bioplastics & biopolymers market and is one of the major producers of plastics. It leads in the packaging end-use industry, which dominates the bioplastics & biopolymers market. These factors have been responsible for the development of bio-based plastics with collaborative research, which, in turn, is expected to transform Europe’s plastics industry. The political and economic conditions have also driven the market penetration of bioplastics & biopolymers. The EU Commission has focused on the Lead Markets Initiative, where bioplastics have been identified as one of the most important potential markets. Europe has, thus, become one of the major consumers of bioplastics & biopolymers.
Key players profiled in this report include NatureWorks (US), Braskem (Brazil), Novamont (Italy), BASF (Germany), Total Corbion PLA (Netherlands), Biome Bioplastics (UK), Bio-On (Italy), Toray Industries (Japan), Plantic Technologies (Australia), and Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation (Japan).
