  • In November 2023, Knox County, a startup had announced the of AgroRenew LLC and had also planned to build $83 million processing facility which was designed to convert food waste into eco-friendly bioplastics. The company had expected to establish itself in early 2024 and had aimed to produce 150,000 tons of bioplastic annually.

Asia-Pacific is the fastest growing region in bioplastic packaging market with its large population as a contributor and its rapidly increasing industrial sector. The packed food consumption and the boom of e-commerce also gave preference to sustainable packaging due to strict regulations and subsidies provided to promote the compostable packaging. According to Department of Biotechnology, Ministry of Science & Technology, Government of India, the usage of single-use plastic (SUPs) was intended to stop by December 2022. The policy of Government of India (GOI) was changed to promote the development of biodegradable plastic products instead of single-use plastic.

The method used for testing substances should be able to demonstrate biodegradability as per national and international standards and should also be interim approved and receive provisional certification of biodegradability. China having a large industrial production had signed the Paris agreement to reduce carbon footprint and oil dependency as well.

Although the National Development and Reform Commission and Ministry of Ecology and Environment had plans to reduce plastic garbage, the limited infrastructure for recycling and manufacturing biodegradable plastic came as a challenge. The Chinese Government had implemented ban on plastic recycled and prohibition of non-biodegradable single-use plastic.

  • In February 2024, Balrampur Chini Mills Limited (BCML), which is a leading integrated sugar mill Kolkata-based company had announced a project with integration of ₹2,000 crore and it was going be the first industrial bioplastic plant in India. The company also stated that it had well-aligned sustainable goals to combat the climate change.  

Driver

Government regulations drive the bioplastic packaging market

The major driving factor is the environmental regulations due to increasing plastic waste production which is a problem for the eco-system. The growing concern for climate change, increasing plastic pollution and landfill waste has led to the utilization of bioplastic packaging which is reliable and bio-degradable. The government policies promote the use of biodegradable and bioplastic packaging as it reduces the use of plastic and also its generation.

New York Legal Cannabis Market Trends Analysis Report 2024-2030: Approval of the U.S. Farm Bill Expected to Boost Growth

Published

on

Dublin, Sept. 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “New York Legal Cannabis Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Source (Hemp, Marijuana), By Derivatives (CBD, THC, Others), By Cultivation (Indoor Cultivation, Greenhouse Cultivation), By End-use, And Segment Forecasts, 2024 – 2030” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

The New York legal cannabis market size is expected to reach USD 3.22 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 15.3% from 2024 to 2030

Factors such as the legalization of medicinal cannabis, rising consumer disposable income, increasing consumer awareness of the health benefits of cannabis, growing demand for cannabis from the pharmaceutical industry, and the approval of the U.S. Farm Bill are expected to boost market growth.

Cannabis is utilized for managing a range of ailments, including mental health issues, cancer, nausea, and pain, and for adult use purposes. The increasing prevalence of cancer is expected to significantly contribute to the increasing acceptance of medical marijuana over the forecast period. For instance, according to data published by the Government of New York, annually 116,000 New Yorkers are diagnosed with cancer.

The growing awareness among people regarding the therapeutic benefits of cannabis and the rise in cannabis certification educational and training programs fuel market growth. For instance, the travelling training program is a part of the New York State Cannabis Workforce Initiative. It’s a collaboration between Cornell University’s School of Industrial & Labor Relations and the non-profit Workforce Development Institute, which is partly funded by the state. This program has successfully educated hundreds of individuals in the fundamental aspects of the cannabis industry.

Moreover, the increase in research activities related to cannabis is driving the market growth. In August 2023, regulations for Cannabis Research Licenses were implemented. These regulations allow licensed researchers to cultivate, process, purchase, and possess cannabis for the purpose of testing its composition levels and chemical potency, studying the safety and effectiveness of cannabis as a medical treatment, conducting agricultural or genomic research, as well as carrying out clinical studies of cannabis-derived drug products.
