They not only carry goods and biowaste but also the hopes of the bioplastics industry for huge markets in years to come. The legal framework and composting infrastructure of EU member states were found to be either the bottleneck or the key driver for market development. These are some of the main findings by the expert team at nova-Institute who researched the European market demand for biodegradable polymers by country as well as application, and analysed framework conditions in detail. The market of compostable and biodegradable plastic products grew to 100,000 tonnes in 2015, and could grow to beyond 300,000 tonnes in 2020 \u2013 if the legal framework were to be set more favourably.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":421,"template":"","meta":{"qubely_global_settings":"","qubely_interactions":"","_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"none","_uag_custom_page_level_css":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[47],"product_tag":[255],"renewable-carbon":[64],"publication-type":[70,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-402","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-markets","7":"product_tag-msbiodegradables","8":"pa_licence-single","9":"pa_licence-enterprise","10":"renewable-carbon-bio-based","11":"publication-type-reports","12":"publication-type-commercial-reports","14":"first","15":"instock","16":"sold-individually","17":"taxable","18":"shipping-taxable","19":"purchasable","20":"product-type-variable"},"bundle_layout":"","bundled_by":[],"bundled_items":[],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/publications\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/16-04-28-Market-study-Consumption-of-biodegradable-and-compostable-plastic-products-in-Europe.jpg",960,720,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/publications\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/16-04-28-Market-study-Consumption-of-biodegradable-and-compostable-plastic-products-in-Europe-150x113.jpg",150,113,true],"medium":["https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/publications\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/16-04-28-Market-study-Consumption-of-biodegradable-and-compostable-plastic-products-in-Europe-300x225.jpg",300,225,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/publications\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/16-04-28-Market-study-Consumption-of-biodegradable-and-compostable-plastic-products-in-Europe-768x576.jpg",768,576,true],"large":["https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/publications\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/16-04-28-Market-study-Consumption-of-biodegradable-and-compostable-plastic-products-in-Europe.jpg",960,720,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/publications\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/16-04-28-Market-study-Consumption-of-biodegradable-and-compostable-plastic-products-in-Europe.jpg",960,720,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/publications\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/16-04-28-Market-study-Consumption-of-biodegradable-and-compostable-plastic-products-in-Europe.jpg",960,720,false],"qubely_landscape":["https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/publications\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/16-04-28-Market-study-Consumption-of-biodegradable-and-compostable-plastic-products-in-Europe.jpg",960,720,false],"qubely_portrait":["https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/publications\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/16-04-28-Market-study-Consumption-of-biodegradable-and-compostable-plastic-products-in-Europe.jpg",427,320,false],"qubely_thumbnail":["https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/publications\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/16-04-28-Market-study-Consumption-of-biodegradable-and-compostable-plastic-products-in-Europe.jpg",133,100,false],"mega-menu":["https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/publications\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/16-04-28-Market-study-Consumption-of-biodegradable-and-compostable-plastic-products-in-Europe.jpg",360,270,false],"blog-teaser":["https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/publications\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/16-04-28-Market-study-Consumption-of-biodegradable-and-compostable-plastic-products-in-Europe-380x245.jpg",380,245,true],"woocommerce_thumbnail":["https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/publications\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/16-04-28-Market-study-Consumption-of-biodegradable-and-compostable-plastic-products-in-Europe-150x113.jpg",150,113,true],"woocommerce_single":["https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/publications\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/16-04-28-Market-study-Consumption-of-biodegradable-and-compostable-plastic-products-in-Europe.jpg",960,720,false],"woocommerce_gallery_thumbnail":["https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/publications\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/16-04-28-Market-study-Consumption-of-biodegradable-and-compostable-plastic-products-in-Europe-200x200.jpg",200,200,true],"sow-carousel-default":["https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/publications\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/16-04-28-Market-study-Consumption-of-biodegradable-and-compostable-plastic-products-in-Europe.jpg",243,182,false]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"Marla Carus","author_link":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/publications\/author\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"nova-Institute publishes the first comprehensive market study on the consumption of biodegradable and compostable plastic products in Europe: 100,000 tonnes in 2015, market demand could grow to beyond 300,000 tonnes in 2020.
