According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled "Biodegradable Plastic Market Report by Type (Starch-based, PLA, PBS, PBAT, PHA, and Others), End Use (Packaging, Agriculture, Consumer Goods, and Others), and Region 2024-2032," the global biodegradable plastic market reached a value of US$ 5.3 Billion in 2023. Biodegradable plastic refers to an eco-friendly product variant that is generally manufactured using plants or biological materials. It includes renewable raw materials and petroleum-based sources, including bamboo, wheat, sugarcane, and corn. These products are usually degraded naturally in base compounds, such as water, carbon dioxide (CO2), and biomass, by the action of various micro-organisms. It consumes less energy during the manufacturing process, which results in the reduction of emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs), carbon footprint and waste production. As a result, it is widely utilized in the manufacturing of cutlery, crockery, food containers and packaging materials.
