生物聚乙烯（Bio-PE）市場：市場規模－按地區、應用和預測至2034年

預計生物聚乙烯市場在預測期內將以8%的複合年成長率成長。生物聚乙烯（Bio-PE）由甘蔗、玉米和農業生質能等可再生資源製成，其物理性能與傳統聚乙烯相當，同時降低了碳足跡。雖然生物聚乙烯不可生物分解，但可透過現有的聚乙烯回收途徑完全回收。

製造過程－從生質能到生物聚乙烯

生物聚乙烯（bio-PE）的主要原料是生質乙醇，而生物乙醇則來自甘蔗、玉米、糖蜜、木薯和其他植物來源原料。這些原料中的碳水化合物經發酵蒸餾後生成生質乙醇。生質乙醇隨後脫水生成可可再生乙烯。據估計，每公頃甘蔗可產出約77噸生質能，其中可生產5噸乙醇，並可轉化為3噸生物聚乙烯。至於乙醇是用於聚合物生產還是用作燃料，則取決於兩種用途的相對價格差異。

需求分析

生物基聚乙烯（Bio-PE）有高密度聚乙烯（HDPE）、低密度聚乙烯（LDPE）和線性低密度聚乙烯（LLDPE）三種類型，涵蓋了所有傳統聚乙烯等級。 HDPE常用於硬質容器、工業包裝和個人保健產品瓶。 LDPE和LLDPE則滿足薄膜、包裝袋、軟包裝袋和拉伸膜等軟包裝的需求。由於生物基聚乙烯與標準聚乙烯加工系統相容，因此可直接取代許多現有應用，尤其是在以永續性為優先的軟包裝領域。

區域趨勢和需求潛力

目前，歐洲是生物基聚乙烯（bio-PE）應用領域的主導地區，這得歸功於其完善的永續發展法規和先進的回收系統。北美也是一個重要的成長區域，這主要得益於企業永續發展策略和對生物精煉的投資。在亞太地區，巴西扮演雙重角色：既是甘蔗乙醇的生產國，也是生物基聚乙烯的出口國。隨著中國、印度、泰國和日本等新興市場產能的擴大和環境政策的不斷完善，預計這些市場將迎來快速成長。

主要企業及產能擴張

巴西布拉舍姆公司（Braschem）以其旗艦品牌「I'm green™」而聞名，是生物基聚乙烯（bio-PE）生產的全球領導者。該公司於2010年運作了一座年產20萬噸的工廠，並於2023年投資8,700萬美元將產能擴大30%，使綠色乙烯年產量達26萬噸。目前，該工廠的運作為27.5萬噸，比其最初設計產能高出37%。該廠每生產一噸聚乙烯（PE），大約排放2噸二氧化碳排放。

此外，Braschem已與泰國SCG Chemicals公司成立合資企業（Braschem Siam），以拓展其在亞洲的業務。該合資企業位於羅勇府瑪塔普，旨在建造生質乙醇脫水工廠，並擴大生物聚乙烯（bio-PE）在亞洲的生產規模。根據東南亞生物循環綠（BCG）經濟模式，SCG的目標是到2025年將其綠色聚合物的年銷售量提高到20萬噸。

市場促進因素

更嚴格的環境法規、品牌層面日益增強的永續發展措施以及消費者環保意識的提高，正在推動對生物基聚乙烯（bio-PE）的需求。歐洲和北美等已開發市場引領生物基聚乙烯的普及，各大品牌積極回應歐盟「一次性塑膠指令」等政策。儘管生物基聚乙烯的成本仍然較高，但許多公司仍在採用這種材料，以強化其環保形象並支持其循環經濟策略。

第13章附錄

Bio Polyethylene market is estimated to register a CAGR of 8% during the forecast period. Bio Polyethylene (Bio-PE), produced from renewable sources like sugarcane, corn, and agricultural biomass, offers the same physical properties as conventional polyethylene while lowering carbon footprint. Although non-biodegradable, Bio PE is fully recyclable within existing PE recycling channels.

Production Process: From Biomass to Bio PE

The core feedstock for Bio PE is bioethanol derived from crops such as sugarcane, corn, molasses, cassava, and other plant-based materials. Carbohydrates in these feedstocks are fermented and distilled to produce bioethanol, which is dehydrated to form renewable ethylene. According to estimates, one hectare of sugarcane yields about 77 tons of biomass, enabling the production of 5 tons of ethanol, which can be converted into 3 tons of Bio PE. The decision to divert ethanol into polymer production versus fuel depends on relative price margins across applications.

Demand Analysis

Bio-PE is available in high-density (HDPE), low-density (LDPE), and linear low-density (LLDPE) variants, matching the full range of conventional PE grades. HDPE is commonly used in rigid containers, industrial packaging, and personal care product bottles. LDPE and LLDPE serve flexible packaging needs such as films, bags, pouches, and stretch wraps. Its compatibility with standard PE processing systems makes Bio PE a drop-in substitute for many existing applications especially in flexible packaging formats where sustainability claims matter.

Regional Trends and Demand Potential

Europe is currently the leading region for Bio PE use, supported by strong sustainability mandates and advanced recycling systems. North America is also a key growth area, backed by corporate sustainability strategies and bio-refinery investments. In Asia-Pacific, Brazil plays a dual role as both producer of sugarcane-based ethanol and exporter of Bio PE. Emerging markets like China, India, Thailand, and Japan are poised for rapid growth as local production capacity ramps up and environmental policies evolve.

Major Industry Players and Capacity Expansion

Brazil's Braskem is the global leader in Bio PE production with its flagship "I'm green(TM)" brand. Following its initial 200,000 t/y plant start in 2010, Braskem expanded capacity by 30% in 2023 with an $87 million investment, raising green ethylene output to 260,000 t/y, and now operates at 275,000 t/y-37% above initial design capacity. This plant captures approximately two tons of CO2 emissions per ton of PE produced.

Braskem is also pursuing an Asia expansion by forming a joint venture (Braskem Siam) with SCG Chemicals in Thailand. Located in Map Ta Phut, Rayong, the JV seeks to build a bio-ethanol dehydration plant and expand Bio PE production across Asia. SCG aims to reach 200,000 t/y of green polymer sales by 2025 under Southeast Asia's Bio-Circular-Green (BCG) economy model.

Market Drivers

Rising environmental regulations, brand-level sustainability commitments, and growing consumer awareness are driving demand for Bio PE. Developed markets like Europe and North America lead adoption, with brands responding to policies such as the EU Single-Use Plastics Directive. Even where costs remain higher, many companies are embracing Bio PE to strengthen their environmental positioning and support circular economy initiatives.
