Biodegradable plastic is a type of plastic that can be broken down naturally by bacteria or fungi into simpler compounds. It can be used in various applications, such as packaging materials, disposable cutlery, agricultural films, and medical devices. Biodegradable plastics reduce plastic waste and environmental pollution by breaking down into harmless organic matter. However, they require specific conditions like proper temperature, moisture, and microbial activity to effectively biodegrade. Biodegradable plastics are more environmentally friendly as they do not accumulate in landfills or marine ecosystems.

Market Dynamics:

The global biodegradable plastic market is driven by eco-friendly nature and rise in consumer adoption of biodegradable plastics and high demand of biodegradable plastic in food packaging application. The market is also witnessing growth on account of the heavy inflow of investments into R&D activities. Moreover, Favorable Government Policies towards bio plastic is again driving growth of the global biodegradable plastic market. People are increasingly opting for CSR activities and decreasing dependence on petroleum resource. Furthermore, rise in popularity of biodegradable mulch film and Polylactic Acid acting as alternative to traditional fossil is further projected to augment market growth.

On the other hand, high cost of biodegradable plastic is expected to hamper the market growth.
