Bioplastics global production capacity 2022-2028, by type

The global production capacity of bioplastics increased in 2022 to 1.8 million metric tons. Biodegradable bioplastics accounted for 864 thousand metric tons of the total capacity in 2022. Growth is expected to continue in the coming years, with projections showing that global production capacities of bioplastics could reach in 7.4 million metric tons by 2028. Bioplastics are plastics made out of renewable biomass materials such as corn starch and vegetable fats.

2022年，全球生物塑料的生产能力增长至一亿八千万公吨。在2022年的总产能中，可生物降解的生物塑料占比达到八百六十四万公吨。预计在未来几年内，这一增长趋势将持续，据预测，到2028年，全球生物塑料的生产能力或将达到七千四百万公吨。生物塑料是由可再生生物质材料制成的一种塑料，如玉米淀粉和植物油脂。
