Government regulations are strict

Various governments worldwide have enacted rigorous regulations to reduce the impact of trash and its toxic by-products on the environment, flora, and fauna. They have also enacted strict legislation to manage consumer and industrial plastic garbage to decrease the amount of solid waste that accumulates in landfills. Regulatory authorities in the United States and Europe levy fines for non-compliance with norms and acts.

Using biodegradable raw materials costs more than conventional raw materials. This raises the production cost, so the packaging industry must keep the price low. As companies' profit margins shrink, this becomes a severe market restraint.
