MODERN ASPECTS OF THE TRANSITION TO THE USE OF BIODEGRADABLE PACKAGING MATERIALS
Abstract
The article presents the results of research on the modern aspects of transitioning to the use of biodegradable packaging materials. The aim of the research is to determine the status and forecast of production of major types of biodegradable materials based on plant raw materials and bioplastics, to investigate their advantages and disadvantages when used as biodegradable packaging materials for various industrial sectors. The study analyzes current trends and prospects for the development of the biodegradable packaging market. Based on scientific sources, a rapid increase in the production volumes of such materials worldwide has been identified, driven by strengthened environmental standards and consumer demand. The main types of biodegradable packaging materials based on plant raw materials and bioplastics are systematized because of the research. Predictive models of their global production dynamics until 2028 have been constructed. A trend towards an increase in the share of third-generation biopolymers derived from renewable sources has been established. The characteristic features and properties of packaging made from plant materials and bioplastics are compared. The advantages and disadvantages of these types of biodegradable packaging are substantiated. The mechanism of biodegradation of such materials during composting with the formation of environmentally neutral compost is disclosed. It is concluded that widespread adoption of biodegradable packaging is an extremely relevant and priority direction of the "green" economy in accordance with the concept of sustainable development. Further scientific developments in this field will have significant practical importance.
