As you may have read in World Bioplastics, a November 2013 industry study conducted by The Freedonia Group, the global demand for biobased or biodegradable plastics will rise 19 percent to 950,000 metric tons in 2017.
The most rapid growth is forecasted for biobased commodity resins, such as polyethylene and polypropylene, for plastic bags and other packaging.
