The demand for plastic eating bacteria has been on rise since the past few years owing to increasing plastic pollution across the globe. Plastic eating or degrading bacteria refers to microorganisms that are capable of breaking down plastic polymers into their building blocks. These bacteria secrete enzymes that can digest plastic materials like polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polyurethane. Growing research in the field of synthetic biology to exploit the plastic eating ability of these microbes can help develop promising solutions for plastic waste management and recycling. Several studies are underway to understand the genetic mechanisms involved and ways to optimize the plastic degradation process.
Market Dynamics:
The global plastic eating bacteria market is driven by the rising environmental concerns over plastic pollution. Rapid urbanization and changing lifestyles have significantly increased the global plastic consumption which has added to the plastic waste. There is a pressing need for sustainable waste management solutions and plastic eating bacteria can potentially help reuse plastic waste. However, high research and development costs associated with genetically modifying these bacteria to improve their plastic degradation efficacy act as a key restraint. Meanwhile, the focus on bio-based plastics offers opportunities for players in this market. Collaborations between industry and academia for large-scale commercialization can also help unlock further growth prospects. Government support in the form of funding and policies are also encouraging innovations in this space. Meanwhile, the business case for commercializing plastic eating bacteria continues to strengthen with global brands and consumer brands eager to reduce the plastic footprint and improve sustainability credentials.
