PBAT packaging (Polybutylene Adipate Terephthalate) is a type of biodegradable plastic used in a variety of packaging applications. It is a biodegradable polymer made from renewable resources like corn starch, making it a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional petroleum-based plastics.
In recent years, PBAT has gained popularity due to its ability to decompose in natural environments such as soil and water without leaving harmful residues. PBAT packaging has a wide range of applications, including food packaging, cosmetic packaging, and agricultural packaging.
It has properties similar to traditional plastic, such as durability, flexibility, and barrier protection, but it also has the added benefit of being biodegradable.
The Global PBAT Packaging Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
Following India’s ban on single-use plastic (SUP), Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL), an Indian multinational conglomerate, has developed a bio-degradable and compostable polymer, Polybutylene Adipate Terephthalate (PBAT), to replace fossil fuel-based raw materials with a sustainable substitute.
RIL is currently producing PBAT on a pilot basis for a niche application and plans to commercialize it soon. The development of PBAT has received scant funding. According to a company official, its capacity can be increased without significant new investment.
“The pilot project is expected to be completed soon.” Following that, commercial PBAT sales would begin. “PBAT capacity can be expanded at any time based on actual demand from user industries,” said the official.
According to RIL, these net bags are ideal for leafy vegetables because they keep them fresher for longer. This advancement is significant in light of the replacement of SUP with environmentally friendly materials.
Furthermore, the R&D team is developing different net bag variants for different weight-carrying capacities in order to target applications other than the F&V sector.
