Application prospect of starch-based plastics
With the gradual shift of consumer preference for plastic products, renewable environmentally friendly materials are heating up by the market. Affected by this, the demand for bio-based plastics market has increased. With the emphasis on bioplastics by governments, the total value of global bioplastics demand is expected to increase to $5.9 billion by 2020, which is equivalent to an average annual growth rate of 20%.
Recently, the French Parliament passed laws on energy transition and green growth. In addition to reducing the share of nuclear energy in the French energy mix, the new law also includes legislative advice related to renewable energy and plastic packaging. For example, renewable energy will increase by 40% by 2030 and carbon dioxide emissions by 40% by 2030; lightweight packaging bags for packaging fruits and vegetables will be made from bio-based materials starting January 1, 2017; In addition, plastic packaging for commercial mail will also be executed at the same time and with the same standards. The latest legislation of the French government requires that disposable tableware such as dishes and forks must be made from bio-based materials instead of petroleum-based materials.
RnR Market Research consultancy market analysts have predicted that the global demand for bio-based plastics will increase by 19% in the next four years, and its market demand will reach 950,000 tons in 2017. Europe is the world's largest consumer market for bio-based plastics. In 2012, the use of bio-based plastics in the region accounted for more than half of the global total. According to the survey report, consumers in Europe are more inclined to choose new bio-based plastic products than traditional plastics. Therefore, the region is expected to continue to lead the bio-based plastics consumption rankings. In terms of types, starch-based plastics and polylactic acid are still the most demanding bio-based plastics in the next few years, and their market consumption will account for more than 60% of the total. According to RnR Market Research, in recent years, countries have introduced restrictions on plastics, and continue to increase the supervision of the use of traditional plastics, which will help further push the demand for bio-based, especially starch-based plastics.
In 2013, the State Council promulgated the “Bio-Industry Development Plan” (hereinafter referred to as “Planning”), which stated that it will accelerate the industrialization and promotion of bio-based materials, bio-based chemicals and new-type fermentation products, and will also establish bio-based products. The certification mechanism to study and formulate market incentives for the consumption of bio-based products and the distribution system of agricultural raw materials to the industrial sector.
In February 2014, Jilin Province issued the Provincial Government's Decree No. 244, “Provisions for the Prohibition of Sales and Provision of Disposable Non-Degradable Plastic Bags and Plastic Lunch Boxes in Jilin Province”, namely “Prohibition Order”, from January 1, 2015 The regulations will be officially implemented from the date of the violation, and a fine of up to 30,000 yuan will be imposed in violation of the regulations. At the same time, it also marks that Jilin Province has become the first province in the country to fully implement the “ban on plastics”.
In December 2014, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Finance issued the “Reply on the Special Implementation Plan for Bio-based Materials in 2014”, and approved the implementation plans for the bio-based materials industry in Tianjin, Shenzhen, Wuhan and Changchun. The central government will adopt a rolling approach to support the pilot construction. The “Demonstration Implementation Plan for Bio-based Materials Products” takes the regional cluster construction and product application as the development carrier, and promotes the development of non-grain bio-based materials industry chain through the combination of demand side pulling and supply side promotion to build high-density, high-level, Industry, education and research use organic combination, leading the demonstration of significant industrial clusters, accelerate the application of renewable, degradable bio-based materials products.
In addition, local governments such as Guangzhou, Hangzhou, and Nanjing promoted the classification of garbage, and tendered the use of degradable garbage bags to collect kitchen waste.
In order to build a resource-conserving and environment-friendly society, the country will introduce more favorable policies to support the bio-plastics industry, such as the ban on plastics, to promote the sound development of bio-based and biodegradable plastics. As the most cost-effective bio-based material, starch-based bioplastics will surely develop rapidly.
