Rising Demand for Eco-Friendly Plastics in Packaging Industry Drives Middle East & Africa Bioplastics and Biopolymers Market
Polylactic acids (PLAs) are the most typically used bioplastic in food packaging, whereas polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are often used in medical applications, including sutures and cardiovascular patches. PLA has properties similar to polyethylene and polypropylene. Its advantages, such as high rigidity, transparency, stability, and superior performance, make it highly usable in food packaging. Further, producing PLA plastic saves two-thirds of the energy required for fabricating fossil fuel-based plastics. PLAs emit almost 70% fewer greenhouse gases than conventional plastics during the degradation in a landfill.Bioplastic and biopolymer packaging options include bags for agricultural foils, compost, nursery products, horticultural products, toys, and textiles.
