Abstract :

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are the most commemorated of biodegradable bioplastics due to good physical and mechanical properties, fast and complete biodegradability. PHA is a group of biodegradable and biocompatible polymers, which consists of more than nine groups, including polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) and polyhydroxyvalerate (PGV). They are synthesized enzymatically by bacteria as a reserve source of energy. The main field of application of PHA-plastics is the manufacture of bulk products, packaging and 3D printing, depends on mixing PHB with various polymers. And also there are some fields of its using which will be available as piece and mass goods only with significant marketing support. Now the biopolymer market in Russia is only being formed, so there are only approximate indicators for several industries, but one of the goals of this study is also to characterize the biopolymer market in Russia. Some aspects of the study also relate the possibility of legislative lobbying for the use of bioplastics in Russia.
