Deep Polymers Ltd has announced its decision to foray into Biodegradable Polymers in order to promote its efforts towards green living and waste reduction. “Growing consumer awareness of global warming, as well as government laws such as ‘The Ban on Single Use Plastic’, has boosted the use of biodegradable plastics around the world,” a statement said.

Biodegradable packaging has become a new trend in green living and waste reduction. Plastics that do not decompose are a worldwide problem. Governments all across the world are addressing this issue by prohibiting the use of single-use plastics and encouraging the usage of biodegradable polymers.

“Governments restricting the use of single-use plastics, as well as increased public awareness of the negative consequences of plastic waste, are two significant trends driving market expansion and increased usage of biodegradable plastics in packaging and agriculture is also expected to contribute to market growth, it added.

Biodegradable plastics are made from renewable basic elements found in agricultural plants and degrade to carbon dioxide and water with the help of bacteria and microorganisms.

The biodegradable plastics sector has succeeded to transfer a significant portion of traditional plastic consumers into its own domain through endless government efforts and laws.

Biodegradable polymers have a major advantage over non-biodegradable polymers in terms of degradation. This is because biodegradable polymers can be returned to the soil and enrich it by being composted with microorganisms.
