For those
who are unfamiliar, conventional plastics do not
degrade within a short span and are a cause of landfilling. On the contrary,
bioplastics and paper are degraded rapidly by microbes.
Retailers
play a leading role in encouraging consumers to adopt bio-based packaging
materials.
In recent
years, retailers are actively adapting bags made of biological materials and
biodegradable packaging.
The
increased adoption of sustainable packaging
products by retailers will increase the replacement of non-renewable packaging
materials with renewable ones.
“Increasing concerns regarding global warming,
carbon emissions, environmental hazards and the need for reducing waste are
leading to the rise in adoption of environment-friendly packaging materials,” says Ajay Adikhari, a lead analyst at Technavio for bio-chemicals and bio-materials research.
