Global Bio-based and Sustainable Packaging Report 2023 - 2033: Environmental and Consumer Concerns Have Resulted in the Developed of Bio-Based Materials


Dublin, March 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "The Global Market for Bio-based and Sustainable Packaging 2023-2033" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Environmental and consumer concerns have resulted in the developed of bio-based materials as alternatives to petrochemicals for packaging applications.

Bio-based packaging materials are made from renewable and biodegradable raw materials, as sustainable alternatives to non-renewable, petroleum-based packaging. Examples include paper made from wood fibres and various types of plastic such as bio-PE, which is made from sugar cane.

Bio-based and sustainable packaging is a major global trend, with numerous start-ups and large companies developing alternatives to single-use plastic packaging. The global plastics sector currently produces >250 million tons annually, and they are used extensively in packaging due to their low cost and weight.

Over 99% of this is derived from fossil fuels, and most of it is not biodegradable. Currently, the packaging materials are largely based on glass, aluminium and tin, and fossil derived synthetic plastics. These materials possess high strength and barrier properties. However, they are unsustainable, some are fragile such as glass, and their weight adds to energy costs for shipping.

Discarded plastic bags and containers have also raised issues relating to environmental pollution due to their non-biodegradable nature. Biodegradable takeaway food containers and single-use plastic bags are being used as a substitute, but only degrade completely when subjected to a harsh thermal treatment above 50 C.

Innovative packaging materials composed of blends or pure bio-based materials are expected to improve the sustainability of these products. Using renewable resources for the development of bio-based packaging material produces a smaller carbon footprint, reduces environmental impact, increases acceptance by consumers, maintains barrier properties and shelf-life of the packaged good, and allows for a sustainable end of life.
