While Europe was responsible for about 48% of the market in 2010, followed by North America and the Asia-Pacific, the latter is expected to catch up quickly, with South America also predicted to see strong growth, led by large capacity additions in Brazil.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>In 2010, starch-based bioplastics accounted for the bulk of demand, with polylactic acid (PLA) in second place. Other bio-based plastics, such as PHA\/PHB, cellulose, PBS and fossil fuel-based biodegradable plastics represented less than 17% of global demand. Ceresana expects non-biodegradable plastics made from renewable feedstocks to increase their market share from the 8% seen in 2010 to over 48% by 2018. <\/p>\n<p><i>&#8230; Full Text: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gtforum.com\/gtf\/feature\/2144284\/bioplastics-search-green-packaging\" >http:\/\/www.gtforum.com\/gtf\/feature\/2144284\/bioplastics-search-green-packaging<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Tags: bioplastics, Market Report, HDPE, Ethylene Glycol<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><b>The global bioplastics market is expected to reach revenues of over US$2.8 billion in 2018, according to Ceresana Research, with annual growth rates averaging 17.8%.<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","nova_meta_subtitle":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5572],"tags":[],"supplier":[742,230,428,1691,1245,306,2101,194,2259,103,21310,1775,600,1599,11748,2294],"class_list":["post-15648","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bio-based","supplier-avantium-technologies-bv","supplier-cargill-inc","supplier-cereplast-inc","supplier-ceresena-research","supplier-coca-cola-co","supplier-frost-sullivan","supplier-luxresearch","supplier-metabolix","supplier-mitsubishi-plastics-inc","supplier-natureworks-llc","supplier-nestle","supplier-pepsico","supplier-procter-gamble","supplier-rhodia","supplier-solvay","supplier-toyobo-co-ltd"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15648","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15648"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15648\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15648"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15648"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15648"},{"taxonomy":"supplier","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/supplier?post=15648"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
