A REVIEW: INVESTIGATION OF PLASTICS EFFECT ON THE ENVIRONMENT, BIOPLASTIC GLOBAL MARKET SHARE AND ITS FUTURE PERSPECTIVES

Abstract

Plastics play an important role in modern life and in the plastic market base industry and economy. Recently, the consideration of pollution in the environment with plastics, especially micro-plastics and nano-plastics has been increased. Both micro-plastics and nano-plastics are the sources for pollutants in the environment. However, bioplastics provide good quality products and can be a good alternative for the traditional type of plastics. Bioplastics are divided into two main groups of biodegradable and bio base, or both. The new bioplastic will reduce environmental impacts like carbon footprint, reduce fossil fuel consumption, decrease greenhouse gas, and provide a new waste management method based on recycling. The production of bioplastic is compared to all types of plastics shows that bioplastic production only has one percent of 320 million tons of other types of productions. In recent years and due to rising demand, the market is growing. Also, the effect of education and advertisement, and public awareness will help the bioplastic industry, economy, and market to grow faster in the future. In addition, it is so important to reduce the dependency on fossil resources by the innovation of bioplastic. Methodology of this paper is to review different articles about bioplastics, summarize the main aspects of bioplastic effects, introduce different types of bioplastic, show economic perspective of bio plastic, and summarize different point of views about future of bioplastic production. As a result, review of different articles show that bioplastics can replace with traditional plastics and bioplastic market share show positive perspective in future. Results show that Increase in public awareness and also high demand of consumers, encourage producers to have more and higher quality products. But, lack of legislation, standards, land competition, production cost, acceptable quality standards, and public trust cause limitation for future development. Therefore, it seems that successful bioplastic market need more effort and time to find the way in social, industrial, and economical aspects.
