Are Bioplastics Finally Ready for Take Off? (plasticstoday.com)
" Global bioplastics production breaks 2-million-tonne barrier
In the last decade, the production of biodegradable plastics showed low annual growth rates, rarely exceeding 1.5 million tonnes per year. But in 2022, global bioplastics production — biodegradable and non-fossil-based plastics, bio-PE, and bio-PET, for example — surpassed the barrier of 2 million tonnes, with biodegradable plastics accounting for 1.2 million tonnes, according to a report on the European bioplastics market."
