概述
全球生物塑膠市場將於 2023 年達到 115 億美元,預計到 2031 年將達到 635 億美元,2024-2031 年預測期間CAGR為 18.4%。
政府高度重視提高人們對傳統塑膠對環境有害影響的認知,刺激了對永續替代品的需求激增。生物塑膠源自於植物或細菌等可再生資源,是解決環境問題的環保解決方案。生物塑膠在減少碳排放、減少對化石燃料的依賴以及減少廢物方面發揮著至關重要的作用。
亞太地區的生物塑膠市場經歷了顯著成長,其中中國、日本和印度等國家的發展顯著。這些國家的政府正在積極提高意識並解決塑膠污染和氣候變遷等環境問題,導致生物塑膠的需求大幅上升。
作為一個說明性的例子,2023 年4 月28 日,Citroniq 和Braskem 等公司採用了乙醇脫水等創新方法來生產可再生聚丙烯(PP),而Geno 則利用糖發酵來製造聚合物的基本構建模組。這些舉措強調了向永續實踐的範式轉變,以及採用生物塑膠作為減輕整個亞太地區環境影響的關鍵組成部分。

永續包裝解決方案激增
消費者的偏好正在轉向優先考慮環保實踐並提供旨在最大限度地減少對環境影響的包裝解決方案的品牌。消費者對永續包裝的需求不斷成長,極大地推動了生物塑膠市場的發展,生物塑膠為包裝解決方案提供了更環保的替代方案。
例如,2023 年 3 月 6 日,印度喀拉拉邦 Greenamor Ventures 的創辦人 Ardra Nair 利用源自當地椰殼纖維廢料的生物塑膠成功開發了環保包裝解決方案。認知到傳統包裝(尤其是化妝品產業)對環境的影響,Ardra 的創新方法旨在將廢棄物轉化為寶貴的資源,同時應對廢棄物管理的全球挑戰。這個值得注意的例子強調了永續包裝解決方案日益重要,以及生物塑膠在滿足具有環保意識的消費者不斷變化的需求方面的關鍵作用。
可生物分解的生物塑膠:對塑膠污染的永續反應
人們越來越意識到傳統塑膠對環境的影響,促使人們轉向採用可生物分解的替代品。從石油中提取的傳統塑膠會在土壤中長期存在,造成土壤污染。相較之下,可生物分解的生物塑膠透過更快的分解速度提供永續的解決方案,最大限度地減少其環境足跡。
2023 年 6 月 11 日,這一領域取得了重大進展,華盛頓大學的研究人員利用粉狀藍綠色藍細菌細胞(通常稱為螺旋藻)開發了生物塑膠。這種創新生物塑膠的分解速度與後院堆肥箱中香蕉皮的分解速度相似,是傳統塑膠的環保替代品。值得注意的是,這些生物塑膠保持了與一次性石油衍生塑膠相當的機械性能,為持續對抗塑膠污染的永續解決方案展示了一條有前途的途徑。
產品成本高
生物塑膠雖然具有環保優勢,但與傳統塑膠相比,在加工過程中受到一定的限制。製造某些類型的生物塑膠可能需要特定的條件,例如較低的加工溫度或有限的生產率。此外,一些生物塑膠對氧氣和水分敏感,影響其在生產和使用過程中的穩定性。
與傳統塑膠相比,生物塑膠面臨的挑戰的一個重要因素是其生產成本相對較高。成本差異歸因於與原料、製造流程和經濟資源有限相關的費用。因此,與生物塑膠相關的較高生產成本使其在某些應用中的經濟可行性較低,從而對其在各行業的廣泛採用構成了障礙。
Overview
Global Bioplastics Market reached US$ 11.5 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 63.5 billion by 2031, growing with a CAGR of 18.4% during the forecast period 2024-2031.
The government's heightened emphasis on raising awareness about the detrimental impact of conventional plastics on the environment has spurred a surging demand for sustainable alternatives. Bioplastics, derived from renewable sources like plants or bacteria, stand out as an eco-friendly solution to address environmental concerns. The bioplastics play a vital role in reducing carbon emissions, lessening dependence on fossil fuels and contributing significantly to waste reduction.
Asia-Pacific has experienced remarkable growth in the bioplastic market, with notable developments in countries such as China, Japan and India. The governments in these countries are actively increasing awareness and addressing environmental issues, including plastic pollution and climate change, leading to a substantial uptick in the demand for bioplastics.
As an illustrative example, on April 28, 2023, companies like Citroniq and Braskem have adopted innovative methods, such as ethanol dehydration, to produce renewable polypropylene (PP), while Geno is utilizing sugar fermentation to create essential building blocks for polymers. The initiatives underscore a paradigm shift towards sustainable practices and the adoption of bioplastics as a pivotal component in mitigating environmental impacts across the Asia-Pacific.
Dynamics
Surge in Sustainable Packaging Solutions
Consumer preferences are shifting towards brands that prioritize eco-friendly practices and offer packaging solutions designed to minimize environmental impact. The growing consumer demand for sustainable packaging is significantly boosting the market for bioplastics, which present a more environmentally friendly alternative for packaging solutions.
For instance, on March 6, 2023, Ardra Nair, the founder of Greenamor Ventures in Kerala, India, successfully developed eco-friendly packaging solutions utilizing bioplastics derived from locally available coir waste. Recognizing the environmental repercussions associated with traditional packaging, especially in the cosmetic industry, Ardra's innovative approach aimed to transform waste materials into valuable resources while addressing the global challenge of waste management. The noteworthy example underscores the increasing importance of sustainable packaging solutions and the pivotal role of bioplastics in meeting the evolving demands of environmentally conscious consumers.
Biodegradable Bioplastics: A Sustainable Response to Plastic Pollution
Increasing awareness of the environmental impact of traditional plastics has spurred a shift towards the adoption of biodegradable alternatives. Conventional plastics, derived from petroleum, persist in the soil for extended periods, contributing to soil pollution. In contrast, biodegradable bioplastics offer a sustainable solution by decomposing at a faster rate, minimizing their environmental footprint.
A significant advancement in this realm occurred on June 11, 2023, when researchers at University of Washington developed bioplastics using powdered blue-green cyanobacteria cells, commonly known as spirulina. The innovative bioplastics exhibit a decomposition rate similar to that of a banana peel in backyard compost bins, presenting an eco-friendly alternative to traditional plastics. Notably, these bioplastics maintain mechanical properties comparable to single-use, petroleum-derived plastics, showcasing a promising avenue for sustainable solutions in the ongoing battle against plastic pollution.
High Product Cost
Bioplastics, while offering eco-friendly advantages, are subject to certain limitations in processing compared to their traditional plastic counterparts. Specific conditions, such as lower processing temperatures or restricted production rates, may be necessary for manufacturing certain types of bioplastics. Additionally, some bioplastics exhibit sensitivity to oxygen and moisture, affecting their stability during production and usage.
A significant factor contributing to the challenges of bioplastics adoption is the comparatively higher production cost when compared to conventional plastics. The cost disparity is attributed to the expenses associated with raw materials, manufacturing processes and the limited availability of economic resources. Consequently, the higher production costs associated with bioplastics render them less economically viable for certain applications, posing a hurdle to their widespread adoption in various industries.
The global bioplastics market is segmented based on type, end-user and region.
PLA Bioplastics: Renewable, Versatile and EU Taxonomy Compliance
PLA bioplastics are thermoplastic polyester derived from renewable resources that include corn starch, starch and tapioca roots. In 2010 PLA bioplastics is marked as the second most important bioplastics in the world. PLA is biocompatible and also provides the perfect solution for medical implants.
For instance, On 9 Jun 2023, The announcement by the company that its Luminy Polylactic Acid (PLA) bioplastics meet the criteria of the EU Taxonomy Regulation on climate change mitigation and adaptation highlights its significant role in the global sustainable economy. The EU Taxonomy Regulation is crucial for sustainable innovation as it establishes a standard for labeling businesses as 'sustainable' within the European Union.
Growth in Population and Consumer Adoption of Sustainable Material
Asia-Pacific has the largest growth in the bioplastics market. Due to significant growth in the population increases the demand for bioplastics products in this region. Consumers are adopting sustainable materials. People are focusing more on eco-friendly products that reduce plastics. The shift in consumer thinking towards sustainability boosts the growth of the bioplastics market.
For instance, on 25 Sept 2022, news from NHK World Japan, Biodegradable plastics are made up of plant-based materials, these materials gains attraction in various industries including restaurants and food service, due to their eco-friendly properties and ability to degrade in seawater. The bio-plastics, made up from renewable sources such as cornstarch or sugarcane and offers a sustainable alternative to conventional plastics derived from fossil fuels.
The major global players include Arkema, BASF, Bioterra, Kuraray Europe GmbH, NatureWorks LLC, Novamont S.p.A., TotalEnergies Corbion, Braskem, Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, Plantic Technologies Ltd
The pandemic induced widespread disruptions across industries, with the packaging and agricultural sectors experiencing supply chain disturbances due to travel restrictions and lockdowns. The disruptions led to delayed production schedules and shortages in raw materials, posing challenges to the growth of the bioplastics market during the pandemic.
Escalating the predicament, the shortage in development and production of raw materials resulted in increased prices during the pandemic. The economic uncertainty stemming from the global health crisis further translated into reduced investment and funding for various industries, including the bioplastics sector. Financial constraints prompted the postponement or scaling back of projects and research initiatives, casting a shadow on the overall trajectory of the bioplastics market during the challenging times of the pandemic.
