Biodegradable disposables are formed by natural raw materials such as wheat bran, cane fibre, bamboo, wheat & rice bran, bamboo, dried leaves, and others. Rising concerns over environmental damage due to excessive usage and disposal of plastic based disposables has led to development of bio-degradable disposables. Moreover, the market is expected to witness growth due to imposition of plastic ban in different countries.
Market Dynamics
Europe biodegradable foodservice disposable market is driven by rising concerns over the environmental damage caused by excessive consumption of plastic based disposables. Initiatives by governments across the region to encourage the usage and production of disposables made from natural raw materials is expected to drive the market growth. There is high demand for biodegradable foodservice disposable, owing to rapid urbanization, changes in lifeRaw Materials, and rising trend for take-away food culture among consumers. Furthermore, raw materials for bio-degradable disposables are easily available that provides ease of production to the manufacturers of these disposable products.
Driver
Increasing initiatives by the manufacturer to reduce the waste is expected to drive growth of the Europe biodegradable foodservice disposable market over the forecast period. For example, according to the Coherent Market Insights,in 2022, Domino's Pizza, Inc., and Greene King, Greggs plc. And Unilever Food Solutions, along with 65 other hotels in the U.K., agreed to cut food and associated packaging waste up to 5%.

In order to better serve consumers' evolving needs, AmFiber's innovations seek to redefine the qualities of conventional paper packaging and provide a wider range of features and functional advantages.
Restraint
The factor such as rate of decomposition of biodegradable disposable food products, as its degradability completely depends on the moisture content, temperature, and population of microorganisms in a specific environment. For example, the performance of biodegradable plastics gets decreased when exposed to high temperatures. This factor is expected to restrict the adoption of biodegradable foodservice disposables products.
Bio-based plastics are produced from plants such as soybeans and corn thathave a high risk of contamination, as the crops h are typically sprayed with the pesticides on the farm, and can be transferred to the finished products. This factor is expected to restraint the Europe's biodegradable foodservice disposable market growth.
