nWith global plastic consumption projected to double by 2050\, recycling a

. Bioplastics\, the only biobased alternative to petrochemical plastics\,
have experienced rapid growth but still represent a small share of the ove
rall plastics market. However\, this is set to change. IDTechEx forecasts
that global bioplastics production capacity will exceed 11.6 million tonne
s per year by 2035. Despite challenges such as high costs and market inert
ia\, government intervention is playing a pivotal role in accelerating ado
ption. Understanding the evolving relationship between regulation and indu
stry players is essential for anticipating market trends. Governments worl
dwide are shaping the future of bioplastics through bans on single-use pla
stics and policies promoting sustainable materials. Nowhere is this cleare
r than in China\, where exemptions for biodegradable bioplastics have fuel
ed PLA market growth. Meanwhile\, other regions are developing their own r
egulations\, presenting both opportunities and challenges for the industry
. This talk will explore: – The current state of the bioplastics market
– How China’s regulatory changes are transforming the industry – The
varying approaches to bioplastics legislation in different countries Atte

About this presentation
With global plastic consumption projected to double by 2050\, recycling
alone cannot supply enough sustainable material to meet this surging deman
d. Bioplastics\, the only biobased alternative to petrochemical plastics\,
have experienced rapid growth but still represent a small share of the ov
erall plastics market. However\, this is set to change. IDTechEx forecasts that global bioplastics production capacity wil
l exceed 11.6 million tonnes per year by 2035. Despite challenges such as
high costs and market inertia\, government intervention is playing a pivot
al role in accelerating adoption. Understanding the evolving relationship
between regulation and industry players is essential for anticipating mark
et trends. Governments worldwide are shaping the future of bioplastics thr
ough bans on single-use plastics and policies promoting sustainable materi
als. Nowhere is this clearer than in China\, where exemptions for biodegra
dable bioplastics have fueled PLA market growth.
Meanwhile\, other regions are developing their own regulations\, presenti
ng both opportunities and challenges for the industry. This talk will expl
ore: – The current state of the bioplastics market – How China’s reg
ulatory changes are transforming the industry – The varying approaches t
o bioplastics legislation in different countries Attendees will gain valua
ble insights into the policies shaping the future of sustainable plastics
and what they mean for businesses and innovation in the industry.
