Companies operating in the biodegradable packaging market are adopting business strategies such as new technology and product development, geographical expansion, and mergers and acquisitions.

In the last year, as many as 350 brand owners and retailers globally have announced plans to make all of their packaging recyclable, compostable or reusable by the year 2025.

The agreement builds on a longstanding relationship that has included the development of bio-based compostable packaging for PepsiCo’s snack brands and will facilitate the expansion of Danimer Scientific's NodaxTM PHA plant.
