The European Bioplastics Association and the European Polysaccharide Excellence Network jointly released a new market research report at the University of Utrecht in the Netherlands in mid-November. The report estimates that bio-based plastics can be used to replace 90% of traditional petroleum-based resins.
However, Patrick Navard, president of the European Polysaccharide Excellence Network, said: "In the near future, bio-based plastics will still not replace petroleum-based polymers for several reasons, such as lower oil prices, high bio-based plastics, high production costs and biological The limited production capacity of the base polymer, etc."
The study also pointed out that the bio-based plastics industry must overcome the poor performance of certain bio-based materials and the limited use of agricultural land to avoid competition with food production, while avoiding biodiversity and the environment. Negative effects.
The study reports on bio-based polymers such as cellulose and polylactic acid, as well as starch-based compounds and emerging bio-based types of conventional polymers such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polyester and polyamide. The report estimates that the production capacity of these bio-based plastics is expected to increase from 360,000 tons in 2007 to 2.3 million tons in 2013. However, some important projects may be delayed due to the financial crisis. Hasso van Pogrell, managing director of the European Bioplastics Association, also said: "The statistics and forecasts of these figures are close. Due to the financial crisis, some important bio-based plastic projects in 2008 and 2009 have been delayed."
