Biopolymers much more costly than conventional polymers
Currently, from an overall price comparison standpoint, biopolymers are 2.5-7.5 times more expensive than traditional major petroleum based plastics. Yet, only five years ago, biopolymers were 35-100 times more expensive than existing non-renewable, fossil fuel based equivalents. 2003 data

Cost of biopolymers
While the conventional commonly used polymers cost around US$1000-1500/MT, biopolymers cost from about US$4000/MT to as high as US$15,000/MT for material such as polyhydroxybutyrates. However, more commonly used biopolymer like polylactic based polymer cost at least US$4000/MT. - Read More
