Biofoam, the world’s first bio based foam is both environmentally friendly and carbon neutral. Biofoam is physically similar and has more or less the same characteristics as airpop, but comes from 100% renewable resources such as vegetable oils & fats and maize starch.
Which in turn does not contribute CO2 to the atmosphere when composted or biodegraded. The biofoam packaging also got the health certificate stating that it is free of CMR substances (Carcinogenic, Mutagenic, or Toxic for reproduction). While biodegradable and industrially recyclable at high temperatures, biofoam packaging is appropriate for long-term use in almost all technical and packaging uses.
Foam is used to pack various fragile products including glass, china clay products and many others that needed to safely reach from retailer to customer. Foams like polyethylene, polystyrene, and polypropylene are non-biodegradable and derived from fossil fuels have an adverse effect on the environment both in their production and in their disposal approaches.
Biofoam packaging could be the better alternative to replace these petroleum based foam packaging and help save environment. Recently BASF SE has developed new innovative foams with high bio based content and are certified industrially compostable.
Corn starch is the highly used material to produce biofoam and is expected to dominate the global biofoam packaging market in terms of material. Foams derived from gasoline are mostly bulky and frothy, causing complications in waste collection, and transport for reprocessing.
Biofoam packaging is the clearest substitute to polystyrene, petroleum based product used widely for packing different fragile items, from fridges to light bulbs and breakables such as tableware. At this stage, biofoam packaging is costlier than conventional foams at some extent. The CSEF scientists, based at Brunel University are developing a new constant process for economical biofoam production.
Rapidly growing e-commerce industry globally will propel the biofoam packaging market. Packing of white goods products and furniture are anticipated be the largest application segments in the biofoam packaging market. Besides this, healthcare industry is one the major user of foams for packing various delicate products like syringes, ampules, vials, medical instruments and many others.
Manufacturers of biofoam packaging can have lucrative opportunity to grab this largely untapped market. Overall the market for biofoam packaging is projected to grow in a positive manner over the forecast period.
On the basis of regions, the global biofoam packaging market can be segmented into North America, Latin America, Europe, South Asia, East Asia, Middle East and Africa (MEA) and Oceania. Established markets of Europe and North America become the early adaptor for biofoam packaging and are expected to dominate market.
Asia Pacific region is projected to be the largest and the fastest growing region in the biofoam packaging market due to rapidly growing e-commerce and packaging industry. Besides this increasing demand of more sustainable and recyclable packaging options in Latin America and Oceania regions anticipated to rise biofoam packaging market it the region. Besides this, the future growth of the biofoam packaging market seems to be good in MEA region also.
Besides this many new and unrecognized players are likely to contribute to the biofoam packaging market in the upcoming years.
