Bio polyethylene also offers the same technical advantages and appearance as traditional PE and is thus gaining traction as a key sustainable packaging material across the food industry. The thriving food processing sector will also proliferate the use of food-grade packaging solutions and create lucrative growth opportunities for bio-based PE developers. However, the availability of alternatives including bio-based polypropylene may create roadblocks to the business expansion.
