REPORT DESCRIPTION
Biodegradable Plastics Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast
2015 - 2023
Plastics that decompose in the nature by the action of microorganisms are generally referred as biodegradable
plastics. These plastics are divided into different categories such as bio-based and petro-based biodegradable
plastics. The most common process employed in the manufacturing of biodegradable plastics includes
fermentation of sugar or canola oil to produce polylactic acid (PLA) or polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), which in
turn is converted into biodegradable plastics.
