Plastic Material And Resins Industry Players Shift Toward More Eco-friendly Material: Bioplastics Or Recycled Plastics

4 March 2021

Our reports have been revised for market size, forecasts, and strategies to take on 2021 after the COVID-19 impact: https://www.thebusinessresearchcompany.com/global-market-reports

According to The Business Research Company’s resins and plastic materials market report, the world population is increasingly becoming aware about the adverse impact of plastic materials on the environment. This has led to a rapid increase in demand for eco-friendly plastics: bioplastics that are manufactured from polymer resins derived from plants and plastics that can be decomposed with the help of bacteria.

For instance, global bio plastics production capacity was estimated to be around 6.2 million tons in 2017 and the global market for bioplastics and biopolymers is expected to be around $5.0 billion in 2021, indicating a high demand for ecofriendly plastic products. Companies such as EverCorn™ and NatureWorks produce bioplastics from natural materials including corn starch. John Deere is developing an ecofriendly plastic product using soybeans and flax.

Bioplastica are widely being used in several industries including packaging, and medical applications, among others. For example, in the packaging industry, bioplastics are used to manufacture shopping bags, compostable waste collection bags, and trays; in medical applications, bioplastics are used in manufacturing implants, pills, and capsules.

Plastic material and resin manufacturers are also using recycled plastic products as raw materials to reduce raw material costs, lower carbon footprint, and reduce dependence on other raw materials such as oil and gas. Recycled plastic has properties nearly identical to those of virgin plastic (plastic material which is produced without using any recycled plastic products) and contains only a small percentage of impurities.

Additionally, recycled plastic has a carbon footprint 85% smaller than new plastic. Recycled plastic costs 20-25% less than plastic made from virgin raw materials such as oil and gas. For instance, Adidas has collaborated with Parley for the Oceans to produce products made from recovered ocean plastic. The USA based cleaning products maker “Method Products” is using plastic recovered from the ocean and prevents the manufacturing of new plastic by recycling.
