Global Rigid Plastic Food Trays Market 2019-2023

About this market
With the increasing health and environmental concerns due to the high use of plastics, the bio-based plastics are increasingly being used for manufacturing foodservice disposables. Over the years, several types of bioplastics have emerged and is available in the market. For instance, Polylactide (PLA) is a biodegradable and bioactive thermoplastic aliphatic polyester, which is produced from corn starch, sugarcane, cassava roots, chips, or starch. With this increasing adoption of PLA in the manufacturing of food disposables, there will be a decrease in demand for rigid plastic in the food disposables market. This, in turn, will affect the growth of the global rigid plastic food trays market during the forecast period. Nevertheless, the rigid plastic trays market is expected to grow at a CAGR of almost 5 % by 2023, as per analysts.
