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.
