Biodegradable packaging is packaging that decomposes, due to natural microorganisms, and is lessening our footprint on the planet. Biodegradable packaging can use renewable resources such as cornstarch, paper, and cellulose, making it a more sustainable choice compared to traditional, plastic packaging. Biodegradable packaging is referred to as environmentally preferable packaging, contributing to waste reduction, and is helping to promote sustainability and environmental protection on a global level.
As more and more consumers and businesses are concerned about the environment, it is not just environmental factors driving the demand for biodegradable packaging; regulations around plastic use, along with consumer spending are helping in growing demand for sustainable packaging options.
Report Highlights:
Biodegradable packaging market size is valuated at USD 17.6 Billion in 2025.
Target Market size is estimated to be valuated at USD 38.6 Billion by 2035 and at a CAGR of 9.0%.
On the account of product type, bags & pouches have the biggest biodegradable packaging market share.
On the basis of packaging type, flexible packaging has the biggest biodegradable packaging market share.
Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) account for largest biodegradable packaging market share on the basis of Techniques.
Food & Beverage industry dominate the biodegradable packaging market on the basis of End User.
Europe is at the forefront of the biodegradable packaging market.
Key Highlights:
Formulation of Biodegradable Packaging:
Biodegradable packaging formulations are chiefly formulated from bio-based polymers such as polylactic acid (PLA), polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), and starch blends. Often, natural fibers such as cellulose or bamboo are also incorporated to provide mechanical strength or barrier properties. Generally, other additives (e.g., plasticizers and compatibilizers) will be added to provide a variable degree of flexibility, durability, and processability, to allow for a variety of packaging formats.

Key Highlights:
- In June 2025, Amcor's AmFiber Performance Paper completed recycling trials in Brazil's mixed-paper corridor, signifying a success in developing circular packaging solutions and confirming its commitment to sustainable packaging. It demonstrated real-world recyclability and helped reduce landfill waste while contributing to the global goal of making all packaging recyclable, reusable, or compostable by 2025.
- In February 2025, DS Smith and International Paper combined forces, creating worldwide champions of sustainable packaging solutions. More specifically to the merger, geographic presence within EMEA and North America got enhanced, increased innovation capacity, and somehow the synergy must work to speed up the development of green and biodegradable packaging in multiple end-use industries.
