According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Europe Bio-Degradable Plastic Market Report by Product Type (PBAT, Bio-Degradable Polyesters, PBS, PHA, PLA, Starch Based, and Others), End Use Industry (Food, Beverage, Pharmaceuticals, Personal Care and Home Care, and Others), and Country 2024-2032,” finds that the Europe bio-degradable plastic market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.8% during 2024-2032. Bio-degradable plastic, or bioplastic, refers to plant-based plastic that does not harm the environment. It is manufactured from molecules that can break down naturally. It is formed from plant- or animal-based raw materials, including orange peels, corn oil, switchgrass, or petrochemicals that contain bio-degradable additives. Bio-degradable plastic is decomposed by microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi, into water, carbon dioxide and biomass. As a result, it finds applications across food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, personal and home care, consumer goods, and textile industries.
Europe Bio-Degradable Plastic Market Trends:
The Europe bio-degradable plastic market is primarily driven by the rising awareness regarding the negative effects of plastic waste. Single-use plastic produces greenhouse gases during decomposition and takes a decade to break down or degrade, which is harmful to the environment. As a result, consumers are willing to pay more for bio-degradable plastic owing to its eco-friendly nature. Besides this, the European Union (EU) has prohibited the use of single-use plastic and is promoting the use of bio-degradable plastics in various industry verticals. In addition, bio-degradable plastics are increasingly used in the packaging industry to manufacture boxes, cups, and plates to reduce the carbon footprint. They are also utilized in the e-commerce industry, which is positively impacting the demand for bio-degradable plastics in the region. Furthermore, there has been growing research and development (R&D) activities to enhance the durability and resistance of bioplastics, which are creating a positive market outlook.
