Biopolymers Market Outlook

Biopolymers simply are polymers that are obtained from living organisms and are completely biodegradable. Some common examples of biopolymers include proteins, carbohydrates, DNA, RNA, lipids, nucleic acids, and peptides. Since these are composed out of living beings, they are completely neutral towards carbon and can be easily recycled or renewed. Biopolymers do not create any carbon dioxide pollution because crops absorb the CO2 emitted by them instead of getting released in the atmosphere. There are four different kinds of biopolymers- sugar based biopolymers, cellulose based biopolymers, synthetic based biopolymers, and natural polymers. The European Biomass Industry Association in its namesake continent has made several efforts to increase the usage of biopolymers in the market. Their efforts have paid off since it is reflected by Europe’s 2018 share in the global biopolymer market, which stood at 55%.
