Bioplastic Packaging Market – New Innovations, Application, Recent Technology Updates & Forecast

Bioplastics are primarily a biodegradable group of polymers that can be manufactured from renewable sources. Conventional plastics are increasingly becoming unpopular due to the fact that they can last for a very long time, can be hazardous to current life and the ecosystem in general, and rely heavily on the oil and gas industry for raw materials. Conventional plastics are used in nearly all industries as material for casings, electronics, packaging, and many other products. This high volume of products made out of materials that will not be degraded for centuries is creating a high level of concern, especially in developing economies, and emerging ones are swiftly following suit.
Browse Market Research Report @ 
Statistics show that plastics are currently the third most commonly used byproducts from the oil and gas industry and the global consumption rate of plastics has crossed 200 mn tons per year. Several countries are banning the use of conventional plastic bags. Massive deposits of plastics in the ocean are responsible for the large scale death of marine and aerial species due to either ingestion or by getting stuck in them.
Nations, individuals, and private agencies are protesting very strongly against the large scale use of plastics, while promoting the use of biodegradable plastics, or bioplastics. Bioplastics can be manufactured from naturally occurring polymer chains in agricultural waste, potatoes, corn starch, and cellulose. These plastics are completely biodegradable, have a far shorter lifespan than conventional plastics, and are already in large scale use in healthcare and pharmaceuticals, packaging, textiles, and agriculture.
Global Bioplastic Packaging Market: Overview
Plastics have widespread applications across just about every imaginable human endeavor, and the packaging industry is a prime example. Plastics are among the most commonly used packaging materials today. Their high durability, eponymous plasticity, poor thermal and electrical conductivity, and impermeability to water have made the use of plastics essential in the packaging industry.
Unfortunately, most plastics are manufactured from petrochemicals and are thus synthetic and nonbiodegradable. This has caused one of the most pressing environmental issues of today: Plastic waste. Plastic doesn’t degenerate into the soil when discarded, and can cause soil pollution as well as posing a major threat to the health of any animals that may happen to consume it. Due to the close association of plastics with food packaging, many animals are attracted to plastic waste due to the presence of leftover food or a scent. Due to the insolubility of plastics in water, plastic waste also poses a threat to marine life.

GaAs Wafer Market – Business Strategies, Revenue Generation, Market Shares & Latest Development

Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) is a semiconductor compound of two elements, Gallium (Ga) and Arsenic (As) of which Gallium is rare and Arsenic is poisonous. Gallium is a bi-product produced after smelting of aluminum and zinc. GaAs is used in a variety of applications including manufacturing of LEDs, laser diodes, solar cells, monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC), wireless communication, etc. owing to its several advantages such as very high electron mobility, wide temperature operating range, high thermal stability, and low noise among others.
Thus, GaAs wafers are well suited for ultra-high radio frequency and fast electronic switching applications. It is also used as a substrate material for epitaxial growth of other semiconductors such as aluminum gallium arsenide, indium gallium arsenide, etc.
The key factor driving the growth of the GaAs wafer market includes increasing 4G and 5G networks across different countries in the world. Since the use of 2G and 3G mobile networks has significantly dropped, 2G networks are being shut down, thus compelling the remaining 2G/3G users to shift to 4G and 5G services. In GaAs, the velocity of electrons is faster than that of silicon; thus, it supports higher electric fields and electron velocity.
Also, its intrinsic carrier density is lower than that of silicon, thus providing a better signal to noise ratio. Moreover, it is comparatively insensitive to heat as compared to silicon, thus offering high thermal stability. These properties make it suitable for use in power amplifiers for very high speed signal transmission. Thus, the increasing adoption of 4G and 5G mobile networks is driving the GaAs wafer market.
The restraint affecting the GaAs wafer market include its high production cost. Besides, it does not grow a native oxide as silicon oxide (SiO2). Despite these restraints, it is expected to be widely used owing to its numerous advantages and important applications such as mobile devices, photovoltaic devices, and optoelectronic devices.
