Track 12: Biodegradable and Bio-Chemical Polymers

A biodegradable polymer is a polymer that is degraded by microorganisms within a reasonable period of time so that the biodegradable polymer and its degradation products do not seriously affect the environment. Degradation reactions involve hydrolysis into non-toxic small molecules that are metabolized or excreted in the body. Bio-Chemical polymers are large molecules composed of many similar smaller molecules linked together in a highly chained fashion. Small organic molecules can combine to form larger molecules or polymers. When small organic molecules are joined together, they can form giant molecules or Natural polymers which are used to build tissues and other elements of living organisms.

Track 14: Future and Scope of Biopolymer

Futures of Biopolymer demand the manufacturer for new materials is remarkable. However, material greed must proceed, as it is purposefully provided for sustainable development. Applications in new ways should use the properties of these biopolymers and develop products based on them. Examples of the largest biodegradable materials used are chitosan, lactose, carrageenan, polyesters, proteins, and enzymes and DNA. Many synthetic artificial biopolymers embody natural macromolecules, which are groups of linked molecules.

Experts forecast that the global market size of bioplastics and biopolymers will grow from USD 10.7 billion in 2021 to USD 29.7 billion in 2026, at a CAGR of 22.7 % from 2019 to 2027.

About 270 million tons of oil is used each year in the production of plastics. Aside from the environmental concerns associated with the expansion of non-renewable resources, nearly 80 million tons of plastic ends up in landfills. Bio plastics and biopolymers are a biodegradable and natural alternative.

Recently, governments have stepped up efforts to protect non-renewable resources. This transition to sustainable energy sources has paved the way for the growth of the global bioplastics and biopolymers market. At the same time, consumers are aware of the negative effects of petroleum-based plastics. As a result, manufacturers are using plant-based materials to produce plastics, impacting the growth of the bioplastics and biopolymers market.
