The global bioplastics market is expected to grow at an annual average rate of 19.5% from 2025 to 2030, driven by increased utilization in packaging. The market size is estimated to be around $15.57 billion in 2024 and is expected to increase significantly from around 2.47 million metric tons in 2024 to approximately 5.73 million metric tons in 2029. A workshop at the PTXPO (Plastics Technology Expo) will focus on the injection molding of bioplastics, with a particular emphasis on polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs). The workshop will feature presentations on the history, applications, and advantages of PHAs, including their biodegradable and compostable properties. The presenters will also discuss the challenges of molding PHAs, including rheological properties and material science limitations. The workshop will also cover the transition from traditional materials such as polypropylene and low-density polyethylene to PHAs. The event aims to provide insight into the production and processing of PHAs, as well as their potential applications in various industries.
