New
from the Freedonia Group: US Degradable Plastics Demand to Reach 370
Million Pounds in 2008
CLEVELAND--(BUSINESS
WIRE)--Dec. 14, 2004--Degradable plastic demand in the US is projected
to grow 13.7 percent annually to 370 million pounds in 2008, valued
at $490 million. Gains will be stimulated by widening applications
brought about by a more competitive pricing structure, improved performance
characteristics, the continued development of degradability standards,
and consumer education as to the benefits of these materials. Prospects
will continue to improve as markets emerge and the prices and properties
of degradable plastics begin to approximate those of conventional
polymers.
