Demand of Bio-Based Plastics for Composites
The replacement of petroleum-derived plastics’ matrices with bio-based matrices or resins, sourced from carbohydrates, vegetable fats and oils, starch, bacteria, and other biological materials is emerging as an important trend in the plastics for composites market. Bio-based polymer matrices are environmentally friendly and are the subject of extensive research in various fields. Bio-based matrices are eco-friendly and lightweight, and exhibit long-term sustainability, which drives their use in commercial applications. The easy availability of the natural raw material for the production of a bio-based resin is an added factor fueling its supply and demand. Bio-based matrices and biocomposites are employed in several secondary applications in aerospace, automobiles, packaging, electronics, and construction sectors. In the construction industry, biocomposites are generally used for the production of doors, windows, terrace decking, insulation material, and acoustic components. According to the report from the Global Alliance for Building and Construction, construction is one of the most harmful sectors to the environment. The findings of this study were presented at the COP25, Madrid, a UN conference on climate change. Conventional construction materials are highly resource- and energy-intensive. Hence, owing to the rising concern and awareness about the social and environmental impacts of conventional building materials, manufacturers of composites are shifting toward environment-friendly raw materials.
