1. High production costs: The production of bioplastic composites often involves higher costs compared to traditional plastics due to the use of renewable sources, extraction processes, and production methods. These high production costs can act as a restraint for the growth of the bioplastic composites market.
2. Lack of infrastructure for bioplastic composites: The infrastructure for manufacturing, processing, and recycling bioplastic composites is not as developed as that for traditional plastics. This lack of infrastructure can hinder the widespread adoption of bioplastic composites in various industries.
3. Limited availability of raw materials: The availability of raw materials for bioplastic composites, such as bio-based resins and fibers, is limited compared to traditional plastic raw materials. This limited availability can restrict the production and supply of bioplastic composites, impacting market growth.
