Increasing Demand for Compostable Plastics in Agriculture to Augment Growth

The global problem of plastic waste has propelled the manufacturers to address the challenge in a circular economy. The increasing concerns over ocean plastic and microplastic waste across other industrial verticals presents a socio-economic and regional challenge before the world. To mitigate the problem, the manufacturers are adopting renewable raw materials to produce fine-grade compostable plastics. These plastics are used extensively in the agriculture sector to develop greenhouses, bins, and silos. Moreover, they aid in protecting the crops from pests and regulate nutrient content and soil moisture by creating a micro-climate suitable for improving the soil quality. Therefore, these factors are expected to contribute to the global bioplastics market growth in the forthcoming years.
