Biodegradable films are films used in packaging that have had biodegradable ingredients added during production. The proteins, polysaccharides, and fatty components of these additives are often enzymes that aid in the decomposition of the plastic. Biodegradable organic mulch films made from plant and animal matter have several useful properties, including weed suppression, soil structure preservation, and the avoidance of crop pollution.
Constant innovation in technology, speedy industrialization, and ever-increasing urbanization have all contributed to dramatic shifts in the worldwide packaging market. Depending on the material structure and climatic variables, plastic films can take anywhere from 20 to 500 years to degrade into the soil. There are now several biodegradable alternatives to plastic because of its ubiquitous and often inappropriate use. It is in this capacity that biodegradable films serve. Increasing knowledge about how to induce optimal water utilization with biodegradable films led to agriculture and horticulture's dominance of the application sector of the worldwide market in 2022.
Biodegradable film, also known as a biodegradable coating or thin sheet, is created from materials that decompose naturally over time when exposed to specific environmental conditions. Biodegradable films are intended to biodegrade into harmless compounds without leaving behind harmful residues, in contrast to typical plastic films which linger in the environment for extended periods and contribute to pollution. Biodegradable films, for example, have seen a boom in popularity as people, businesses, and governments become more aware of the negative effects that plastic waste has on the environment, marine life, and ecosystems. This aspect is projected to drive the market throughout the forecast period.
However, biodegradable films are more expensive to create than regular polymers. Raw material and manufacturing costs have increased, which might lead to higher retail pricing. The expansion of the market is predicted to be stunted by this aspect. The growing environmental awareness of consumers has resulted in a rise in the demand for sustainable and environmentally friendly packaging. Businesses can address this need and attract eco-conscious customers by switching to biodegradable films.
Thin sheets or coatings of biodegradable film can be created from either natural or synthetic materials, and they are formulated to decompose fast and safely in the environment through the action of biological processes. Biodegradable plastics, cellulose, starch, and other plant-based polymers can all be used to create these films. Biodegradable films are intended to break down from a few months to a few years, depending on environmental circumstances and the individual material used, as opposed to regular plastic films, which can take hundreds of years to degrade. The eco-friendliness of biodegradable films has led to their widespread adoption around the world. Plastic films in the past have been linked to environmental damage and animal suffering.
Since polylactic acid (PLA), starch-based polymers, and polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are readily biodegradable, compostable, and recyclable, they are increasingly being employed as raw ingredients in food and beverage packaging. This has increased the need for biodegradable films in food packaging and compostable bags as a branding and customer acquisition strategy among many businesses.
