Bioplastics fast market growth of more than 8-10% per year.
Bioplastics cover approximately 10-15% of the total plastics market and
will increase its market share to 25-30% by 2020. The market itself is
huge, it reached over 1bn US$ in 2007 and will be over 10 billion by
2020. More and more companies are entering and investing in this
market. New applications and innovations in the Automotive and
Electronics Industry lead to market boom. Over 500 bioplastics
processing companies are already available, more than 5000 is expected
by 2020.
Nontoxic is the key image, sustainable and environmentally friendly products is the driving force.
Less than 3 percent of all waste plastic worldwide gets recycled,
compared with recycling rates of 30 percent for paper, 35 percent for
metals and 18 percent for glass, according to a study by helmut kaiser
consultancy 2006.
The world’s resources are depleting at an amazing speed. Fossil
fuels are exhaustible and due to the increasing population, these will
not be sustainable in the future. Plastics are produced from by
products of the fossil fuel processing. Fossil fuels are limited and
are non renewable, bioplastics on the other hand could be a solution
for the future.
Bioplastics are plastics produced from biomass sources. Biomass
sources are renewable and are more environmental friendly than the
current sources for plastic production. Bioplastics and normal plastics
have many thing in common, the only difference is that, bioplastics use
renewable resources in their manufacturing and are mostly biodegradable
and recyclable.
The advantages of bioplastics are the uses of plant sources as
renewable materials and the products could be further recycled as ‚new’
biomass sources, for thermal, organic or chemical recycling. The
production of bioplastics are more environmental friendly, as less CO2
are produced, thus not contributing much to the global warming.
The currently availabe bioplastics cover approximately 10-15% of
the plastics market and is expected to grow between 8-10% annualy.
Europe being one of the most important market, due to the limited
amount of crude oil reserves. In recent years, bioplastics have been
used in the food and packaging industry, medical, toys and textile
industries. With new innovations expected in the near future, there
would be more and more applications for bioplastics, such as the
automobile industry and electronics industry, where plastics play a
major role.
Car companies know that plastic parts made from plants will appeal
to 'green' customers and customers who care. Toyota is one of the
leading companies
in research and usage.
Bioplastics production companies are relatively small plants and
are still in the early stages of the development and surely, with new
developments in the future, the production will be more and more
effective and will open new applications, and new opportunities.
The study discusses the market structure of bioplastics, its
development worldwide by regions, applications and technologies. The
markets that are covered include, bioplastic manufacturing, bioplastics
processing, bioplasting distribution, recycling and renewable raw
materials.
