Households are the major producers of plastic waste and most of the waste comes from packaging. These wastes are dumped on landfills and few are recycled. Discarded packaging litter is hazardous to the living forms. Thus, increase in environmental concerns has led to the development of photodegradable and biodegradable packaging material. Photodegradable plastic is made of oil-based polymers, which when exposed to sunlight breaks by weakening of bonds. In addition, it contains a chemical additive, which absorbs light and attacks the polymer and breaks the bonds. Biodegradable plastics are made from oil or from plant-based products that are attacked by bacteria, fungi, or other microorganisms, which help plastics to degrade.

Stringent government regulation to reduce plastic wastes has fueled the demand for biodegradable materials for packaging, thereby driving the market growth. Environmentalists and researchers are developing photodegradable and biodegradable packaging material, which includes polylactic acid (PLA), polybutylene succinate (PBS), PHBV, and others. Increase in investment for R&D activities, particularly in developed economies such as the U.S. and European countries, to develop advanced biopolymers is anticipated to provide new opportunities for the market players. However, ambiguities among the scientists and environmentalists related to the benefits of degradable plastics hampers the market growth.
