WILMINGTON, DE, UNITED STATES, February 13, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The global biodegradable plastics market is experiencing significant growth, driven by increasing environmental concerns and regulatory pressures. Traditional plastics, derived from fossil fuels, pose a long-term environmental threat due to their non-biodegradable nature, leading to landfill accumulation, ocean pollution, and harm to wildlife. Biodegradable plastics provide a sustainable alternative, breaking down into natural components through biological processes, thus reducing environmental impact.
