Prospects for the Production of Materials with Biodegradable Properties: the Way to Minimize Environmental Damage in Russian Practice
Summary
This paper examines the prospects for expanding production of biodegradable materials in Russia, analyzing current industrial capacity and proposing pathways for growth. Scaling up biodegradable plastic production is seen as a key strategy for reducing the environmental harm caused by conventional plastics.
The prospects for the development of the production of materials with biodegradable properties in Russia are considered, based on an analysis of the situation in Russian practice, with a proposal of possible options for their implementation. The relevance of the study is determined by the importance of the problem and the need to solve it in relation to the organization of the production of materials with biodegradable properties in the conditions of the refusal of the world community from the use of artificial polymeric materials, the disposal period of which is more than 100 years. It is shown that the global market for the production of materials with biodegradable properties has an average growth rate of 20%, which will amount to 2300 million tons by 2027, while the Russian market for biodegradable packaging is no more than 10,000 tons per year. In the future, according to the action plan for the Development of Biotechnologies and Genetic Engineering, the share of biodegradable materials in the total consumption of polymer products in Russia will increase from 10 to 25%, and the share of bioplastics will be about 640,000 tons. A conclusion is made regarding the development of the production of materials with biodegradable properties in Russia, which should be carried out at a pace at the world level, and for this, favorable conditions and a developed infrastructure should be created, focused on promoting own scientific developments and their commercialization in domestic production. The study revealed the technological possibilities of organizing the production of biodegradable materials of natural origin in Russia, which determines the practical significance of this study.
