What is Biodegradable Polyester?
Biodegradable Polyester is completely degradable when exposed it is exposed to microorganisms, aerobic, and anaerobic processes. It undergoes certain chemical and physical deterioration which makes it completely degradable. They are derived from natural and synthetic resources. Synthetic produced by fossil fuels and natural based resources like corn residue is use to produce biodegradable polyester. There are abundant aliphatic biodegradable polyesters but only limited number of them are commercially available. Increasing awareness regarding biodegradable plastic use driving the demand for the market. Further, rising preference for this polyester in medical devices is impacting on the demand in positive manner. Geographically, North America region is expected to grow with higher growth rate over forecast period followed by Asia Pacific and Europe owing to presence of market leaders in the region and growing research activities for production of biodegradable polyester.
