Innovation in bioplastics and plastics recycling is spurring a renaissance in the petrochemical industry, with the latest technologies reinventing plastic and making waste plastic a new resource.  The Global Market for Bioplastics and Advanced (Chemical) Plastics Recycling 2024-2034 provides a comprehensive analysis of the global bio-based feedstocks, bio-based plastics, and advanced chemical recycling markets.

It covers key trends, drivers, latest developments, production capacities, producers, and market segmentation. The report analyses major feedstocks like starch, sugar crops, plant oils, lignocellulosic biomass, waste streams, algae etc and the key bio-based chemicals produced from them. Market demand projections are provided for chemicals like lactic acid, FDCA, acrylic acid, succinic acid, 1,4-butanediol etc to 2034.

An extensive section is dedicated to the global bio-based and biodegradable plastics market, segmented by types including PLA, PHA, PBS, bio-PET etc. It includes production capacities by leading manufacturers, SWOT analysis, price trends and demand forecast by end-user markets like packaging, automotive, textiles, agriculture etc.

The report also covers technologies in advanced chemical recycling including pyrolysis, gasification, glycolysis, enzymatic processes etc. Profiles are provided of key companies active in these spaces along with their production capacities. An in-depth demand analysis is provided for chemical recycling by region and polymer type through 2040. The role of natural fibers as sustainable reinforcements is also explored including typical properties, manufacturing processes, applications and market statistics.
