Bioplastics

Bioplastics are manufactured from polymers derived from plants, from animals, or from microbes. Stricter regulations and the policies enforced on industries to reduce carbon footprints are the factors behind the current fast growth of this market. Consumers are also becoming aware of the deleterious effect on environment. Though the majority of bio...

Brazils biodiversity has attracted companies interested in the countrys raw materials to produce bioplastics, which are made from renewable sources. The increasing global demand will fuel Brazilian production of bioplastics, but the growth of the local market will occur over time. This research service is segmented by bioplastic type: polylactic ...

This segment provides an insight into the European bio-based plastics in packaging applications. Some of the key advantages and limitations of starch-based, polylactic acid-based and polyhydroxyalkanoate-based materials along with the applications have been discussed. The factors which would shape the future of the market including the drivers and ...

Both Brazil and Mexico are nascent markets for Bioplastics, which are currently under pilot scales in a several companies, penetrating segments such as food packaging and agriculture films. However, large production scales in Brazil are expected to give a new shape to this market in the region. Competitive production scales and an increasing deman...

The research service gives an overview of the bioplastics market in India with mentions on the key applications, key players in the Indian market, market drivers, market restraints, market challenges and key conclusions.

This research service presents current and future trends of the bioplastics market in Southeast Asia for the period 2004 to 2014.
