Opportunity – Heightened focus on sustainability

Sustainability concerns in the Global 3D Printing Plastics Market are being addressed through the utilization of natural materials, such as castor seeds, palm oil, and starches. Evonik AG's initiative to introduce a bio-based grade of PA12 derived from palm oil reflects this trend. The shift towards bio-based polymers not only reduces dependence on petroleum-based plastics but also aligns with environmental objectives. Governments in agricultural-dependent nations are promoting the manufacturing of bio-based polymers, anticipating broader adoption in 3D printing applications. This strategic move not only enhances sustainability efforts but also provides a competitive advantage to manufacturers operating in such countries.
