Significant Availability of Raw Materials to Boost Production of Biodegradable Disposable Tableware in Asian Economies

In order to promote sustainable production of biodegradable disposable tableware and to gain economies of scale, the production and availability of the raw material is an important aspect. Asian countries account for more than 40% of bio-based materials including sugarcane and bamboo used for manufacturing biodegradable disposable tableware. Thus, the region is estimated to provide a steady supply of raw material for manufacturing biodegradable disposable tableware market, thereby augmenting the market growth. This is likely to provide a remunerative opportunity to the regional manufacturers to leverage the raw material availability and expand their production capacities.

“As per data provided by United Nations, more than 8.3 billion tonnes of plastic has ended up in the landfills. Only 9% of plastic is recycled whereas the rest results in polluting the water bodies and natural environment. Single-use plastics such as spoons, cups, and plates are widely used by food service industry are a continuous threat to the environment. Thus, green solutions such as bioplastics or use of disposable tableware made from natural resources is likely to boost the growth of biodegradable disposable tableware market,” says an FMI analyst.
