Turbulent times for bio-based polymers in 2019: PLA sold out despite expansion, as did PHA. Bio-based PP available for the first time, increased production of PBAT, PBS, bio-based PE, starch-containing polymer compounds and epoxy resins. Lower production is seen particularly in bio-based PET. At the same time, there is a lack of support from policy makers, who are taking bio-based and biodegradable plastics into collective punishment with fossil plastics in the Plastic Policy.<\/p>\n
The new market and trend report \u201cBio-based Building Blocks and Polymers \u2013 Global Capacities, Production and Trends 2019-2024\u201d from the German nova-Institute shows capacities and production data for all bio-based polymers in the year 2019 and a forecast for 2024. In 2019, the total production volume of bio-based polymers was 3.8 million tonnes, which is 1% of the production volume of fossil-based polymers and about 3% more than in 2018 \u2013 this CAGR is expected to continue until 2024. The major biomass feedstock used for bio-based polymer production are biogenic by-products (46%), especially the by-product glycerol from the biodiesel production, used for epoxy resin production.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"qubely_global_settings":"","qubely_interactions":"","_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"none","_uag_custom_page_level_css":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[47],"product_tag":[238],"renewable-carbon":[64],"publication-type":[70,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-291","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","5":"product_cat-markets","6":"product_tag-trpolymerdata2020","7":"pa_licence-single","8":"pa_licence-enterprise","9":"renewable-carbon-bio-based","10":"publication-type-reports","11":"publication-type-commercial-reports","13":"first","14":"instock","15":"sold-individually","16":"taxable","17":"shipping-taxable","18":"purchasable","19":"product-type-variable"},"bundle_layout":"","bundled_by":[],"bundled_items":[],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":false,"thumbnail":false,"medium":false,"medium_large":false,"large":false,"1536x1536":false,"2048x2048":false,"qubely_landscape":false,"qubely_portrait":false,"qubely_thumbnail":false,"mega-menu":false,"blog-teaser":false,"woocommerce_thumbnail":false,"woocommerce_single":false,"woocommerce_gallery_thumbnail":false,"sow-carousel-default":false},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"","author_link":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/publications\/author\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"The global bio-based polymer market 2019 \u2013 A revised view on a turbulent and growing market Turbulent times for bio-based polymers in 2019: PLA sold out despite expansion, as did PHA.
