Rodrigo Belloli, Marketing and Information Manager for Responsible Chemicals at Braskem, recently revealed that in the coming years, bio-based polymerization will be driven by strong technology and markets. Demand will increase at an average annual rate of 20%.
At present, the annual output of bio-based polymers in the world is about 200 tons, which is only about 0.5% of the total output of plastic products. Biroli said that despite this, bio-based polymers will continue to play an important role in the plastics industry because they help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve the image of the plastics industry. Birololi pointed out that the challenges of sustainable development and rising prices of traditional chemical products will boost the demand for bio-based polymers. At present, bio-based polymer producers are working to reduce the cost of raw materials and upgrade their technological level. In addition, the role of governments and enterprises in the promotion of bio-based polymer markets cannot be ignored.
