Global PLA Disposable Containers Market: Dynamics
Increased inclination toward lightweight packaging products is creating demand for PLA disposable containers. Lightweight packaged products require approximately 40% less polymer material. Furthermore, they reduce weight by over 50% as compared to glass and injection-molded containers. The PLA disposable containers market is expected to witness expansion by the end of forecast period owing to changes in the perception of consumers as well as manufacturers toward bio-based materials. However, the growth of the PLA disposable containers market is likely to be hampered owing to the usage of paper-based flexible packaging solutions. However, the cost-effectiveness of PLA disposable containers as compared to other polymer containers is likely to boost the demand for the same across the world.
Some of the key factors restraining the growth of the PLA disposable containers market are the heat-sensitive nature of poly-lactic acid, owing to which the usage of these containers is limited to drinks of up to 40?C. However, PLA has been widely used in a large number of packaging applications for fruit & vegetable packaging – at supermarkets and hypermarkets, at concerts & sport events, and at retail grocery stores. PLA disposable containers are replacing other plastic-based containers in the food & beverage industry due to their recyclable and re-usable characteristics.
