Advancement in market

Husky Technologies (Husky) has been selected as the recipient of PLASTICS' 2023 Innovation in Bioplastics Award. The announcement was made as part of PLASTICS' seventh annual online awareness and education campaign for "Bioplastics Week." The Husky UltraMelt hot runner system, designed for the effective and environmentally friendly injection moulding of bioresins or biopolymers, earned the award. Biopolymers, produced entirely or partly from renewable biological resources, pose particular difficulties for injection moulding. Husky claims that UltraMelt especially tackles these issues by protecting the delicate chemistry of biopolymer materials and minimizing deterioration with non-reactive surfaces and stainless-steel components. After extensive testing and optimization, UltraMelt was released to the market in 2022 and quickly rose to prominence as a ground-breaking method of delivering biopolymer melt.

Market Dynamics

Driver: The significant demand in food packaging applications for biodegradable plastic.

Biodegradable polymers, or biopolymers, have become a popular alternative strategy for various industrial applications to reduce the risk of non-biodegradable plastic. The growing use of biodegradable plastics in food packaging is an important factor in the market's growth over the forecast period. This development is primarily attributable to biodegradable polyesters, the best plastic substitute. In addition, it is projected that the government's support for biodegradable materials and rigorous controls on the use of plastics to minimize environmental pollution will propel market expansion over the projection period. Additionally, the government promotes the use of biodegradable products and assists producers in supplying high-quality goods.

Restraints: The cost of biodegradable plastics is high.

The expensive machinery needed for processing and recycling and the complex engineering system are limiting market expansion. Additionally, the market expansion is hampered by the higher price of biodegradable plastics compared to traditional polymers. Additionally, biodegradable plastic bags are more expensive than conventional plastic bags due to the higher cost and limited availability of raw materials and the higher manufacturing costs associated with smaller batch sizes. Additionally, there are expenses related to growing, farming, and turning raw ingredients like soy, corn, and potatoes into starches that can be used to make compostable plastic. These extra costs are combined with production techniques that save electricity and water costs, and carbon emissions.

Opportunities: The creation of novel applications.

The government rules aimed at promoting sustainable ecosystem development and the growing restrictions against conventional plastics fuel industry expansion. Additionally, due to lucrative government laws and a growing emphasis on environmentally friendly polymers for green procurement requirements, makers of biodegradable plastics have significant growth potential in various end-use industries, including healthcare, electronics, and automotive. Additionally, biodegradable plastics make bio-medical equipment and gadgets, including PGA, PCL, PLA, and bio-PBS. Additionally, biodegradable plastics converters strongly help research and development (R&D) efforts for eco-friendly plastics in various bio-medical applications, including implants, stitching materials, and screws. Additionally, the production of more effective and affordable electrical equipment uses bioplastics. During the projection, packaging application is also expected to develop significantly.

Challenges: functionality issues.

Low heat resistance and poor water, air, and oxygen barrier properties are key performance issues with biodegradable polymers. This led to penetration restrictions in several industries, including the electronics and automobile sectors. Furthermore, biodegradable polymers are not used in many applications because of their weak mechanical properties, such as low tensile and impact strength. The limitations of these biodegradable polymers seriously impede market growth.
