In the ever-evolving world of plastics manufacturing, the need for efficient and cost-effective solutions is paramount. One such innovation that has gained significant traction is the use of masterbatch, a solid additive that has become a cornerstone in the polymer industry. In this blog, we’ll explore what masterbatch is and highlight the numerous advantages it offers to manufacturers and processors, ensuring high-quality and consistent results.

What is Masterbatch?

In today’s world, where environmental concerns are increasingly shaping industry practices, the packaging industry stands at a crossroads. As one of the largest contributors to plastic waste, it faces mounting pressure to adopt sustainable practices. Among the innovations driving this change is the use of white masterbatch, a key component in creating eco-friendly packaging solutions.

In today's environmentally conscious world, understanding what biodegradable means and why it is important has become essential. This knowledge is especially relevant for industries focused on sustainability, such as Tirupathi Hydrocarbon, known for its Biodegradable Filler Masterbatches. In this blog, we’ll explore the meaning of biodegradability, biodegradable end products, and why using biodegradable products is beneficial.

What Does Biodegradable Mean?

Biodegradability refers to a material's ability to decompose naturally through the action of microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi, into basic, non-toxic elements like water, carbon dioxide, and biomass. This process ensures that the material returns to the environment without leaving harmful residues, making it a sustainable alternative to traditional, non-biodegradable products.

The foundation of a strong nation today hinges on how effectively its refineries utilize petrochemicals, which have become the backbone of manufacturing, agriculture, healthcare, and many other sectors. In India, petrochemicals are pivotal in propelling the nation towards becoming an economic superpower. The growth trajectory of this sector is expected to remain upward due to shifting consumer preferences, ongoing innovations, and increasing consumer demand.

Plastics are essential materials for our life because they bring safety and hygiene to our society," said paper co-authors Masazumi Tamura, associate professor in the Research Center for Artificial Photosynthesis in the Advanced Research Institute for Natural Science and Technology in Osaka City University, and Keiichi Tomishige, professor in the Graduate School of Engineering in Tohoku University. "However, the growth of the global plastic production and the rapid penetration of plastics into our society brought mismanagement of waste plastics, causing serious environmental and biological issues such as ocean pollution."

Increasing use of paraffin wax in flexible packaging as a good barrier against odour and gas transmission is likely to drive growth in coming years. Expansion of the food & beverage sector in various countries including China, India,the  and Brazil is expected to drive industry growth over the upcoming period. In addition, rising consumption of chlorinated paraffin as a flame retardant and plasticizer in flexible PVC is likely to drive market growth over the next nine years. Paraffin waxes are petroleum-sourced products, and therefore volatile petroleum prices along with harmful emissions are likely to restrain industry growth over the forecast period. 

Market Overview

The Global Wax Market was valued at 7 million tons in 2020 and the market is projected to register a CAGR of over 2.5% during the forecast period (2021-2026).

Due to COVID-19, the lockdown regulations and a deficient number of workers havethe  led to the decline in production of various chemicals and other industries such as cosmetics, packaging, rubber, candle, and adhesives. The supply of raw materials to the industries decreased and causes the disturbance in supply and demand balance. Owing to all these factors, the oil market is negatively impacted by COVID-19 and the production of wax is decreased.
