This ground-breaking cost/performance benchmarking study on biopolymers for commodity packaging is illustrated with more than 80 originally researched and developed comparative cost differential and cost-per-thousand manufacturing models. The 17 painstakingly prepared models compare five "standard" plastics against five packaging biopolymers across seven unique package formats and seven plastics processing technologies. The report also includes a comprehensive executive's guide to packaging biopolymers providers, current and anticipated manufacturing capacities, and market positioning overviews.
