Current Status of Biodegradable Plastic Shopping Bags

Biodegradable plastic shopping bags refer to bag products made mainly from biodegradable resins, with carrying structures, and used for storing and carrying goods in sales, service, and other places. Biodegradable plastic shopping bags can be divided into biodegradable plastic shopping bags for direct contact with food and biodegradable plastic shopping bags for non food contact, depending on whether they come into contact with food or not.The commonly used biodegradable plastics currently include polylactic acid (PLA), polycaprolactone (PCL), polybutylene succinate (PBS), polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), polycarbonate (PPC), and polybutylene terephthalate adipate (PBAT).Current Status of Biodegradable Plastic Shopping BagsAccording to the national policy on plastic pollution control, non degradable plastic shopping bags belong to the list of plastic products prohibited by the country, and degradable plastic shopping bags are one of their substitute products. However, through this sampling, it was found that the current usage status of biodegradable plastic shopping bags is not optimistic. The basic situation is as follows:The price cost is relatively high. The price of biodegradable pla

Biodegradable plastics: used in scenarios that are difficult to reuse and recycle

Why is plastic recycling in the EU only 14%? Because some scenes cannot be recycled. A simple example is how to recycle tags on clothing, including paper, rope, plastic, etc? For example, composite packaging, such as cola bottles including lids and labels, is difficult to trace, collect, and recycle. So at present, only 14% of the plastic that has not been recycled in the EU is burned, 40% is buried, and 32% is lost to nature. The remaining scenarios that are difficult to reduce, cannot be recycled, and cannot be recycled are important battlefields for the development of bioplastics. This is a direction for the development of bioplastics in the context of circular economy.The development prospects of biodegradable plastics also need to conform to a circular economy based on collective agreements. Bioplastics, especially bio based biodegradable plastics such as PLA and PHA, can only be developed through cultivation and require the use of land, water resources, fertilizers, insecticides, pesticides, etc. If a large amount of crops are used for the development of bio based plastics and biodegradable materials, it is necessary to evaluate whether resources are wasted and whether the la

Biodegradable plastics vary greatly in different environments

In the definition of biodegradation, it includes four major definitions: soil degradation, compostable degradation, marine environmental degradation, and freshwater environmental degradation. As the name suggests, there are different biodegradable plastics available for different environments.Soil degradableUnder soil burial conditions, it is a property that can ultimately decompose into simple compounds such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and/or methane (CH4), water (H2O), and mineralized inorganic salts and biological dead bodies containing elements.Composting degradableUnder composting conditions, it can ultimately be decomposed into simple compounds such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and/or methane (CH4), water (H2O), as well as mineralized inorganic salts and biological dead bodies containing elements.Degradation of marine environmentIn marine environments such as sediment interfaces, sediments, other actual field conditions, and laboratory thermophilic simulation conditions, materials can ultimately be decomposed into simple compounds such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and/or methane (CH4), water (H2O), and mineralized inorganic salts of the elements they contain, as well as a property of biolo

What the EU opposes is not biodegradable plastics, but resource waste

The ultimate goal of the plastic ban is undoubtedly to promote more environmentally friendly alternative products, cultivate new models of recycling, and reduce the amount of plastic waste landfill by orderly banning and restricting the production, sale, and use of plastic products.With biodegradable plastic straws, don't you have to worry about pollution and use them without restraint?No, biodegradable plastics are made from food crops such as corn, and uncontrolled use can lead to food waste. In addition, the safety of biodegradable plastic components is not higher than that of traditional plastics. Many biodegradable plastic bags are fragile and not durable. For this reason, some producers may add various additives, which may have new impacts on the environment.After the implementation of garbage classification, what kind of garbage does biodegradable plastic belong to?In European and American countries, under the condition of ensuring classified collection and composting treatment in the backend, it can be classified as "compostable waste" or allowed to be disposed of together with food waste.

The new type of plastic can biodegrade in just a few days! German chemist discovers new mystery

Plastic products have permeated every aspect of our lives, but plastic waste has also become one of the "culprits" that damage the environment. Recently, chemists from the University of Konstanz in Germany have developed a new plastic that has all the durability of ordinary plastics, but can biodegrade within a few months or even days.Plastic is one of the most pressing environmental issues of our time. Due to its multifunctionality, strength, water resistance, and heat resistance, most products will use this material. However, after the end of the product's service life, these advantages become disadvantages because plastic waste can clog landfills and oceans for thousands of years before degradation, making recycling difficult.Therefore, a large amount of research has focused on designing new types of plastics that can biodegrade faster after the work is completed. And now, the research team at the University of Konstanz has created a promising new candidate material.It is reported that this new material is called polyester-2,18, named after the two modules that make up it - a short diol unit containing two carbon atoms and a dicarboxylic acid containing 18 carbon a

Biodegradable materials require orderly development

The development of traditional plastics by humans over the past century has planted many hidden dangers. Why are there billions of tons of plastic left in nature and oceans now? It is because of the consequences of the lack of standardized plastic development in the past 100 years. So in the early stages of the development of bioplastics, if development guidance is standardized, then in the next few decades, future generations of humanity will discover that the development of biodegradable plastics by our predecessors was orderly and based on scientific background. So, that's why there is such a policy framework background. This framework is guiding the orderly development of biodegradable materials in the right direction.The development of biodegradable materials requires a thorough review of the sourceIn the Framework, as the main advocate of bioplastics, the EU recognizes the development of bioplastics, biodegradable materials, and compostable materials, which are more environmentally friendly than traditional petroleum based plastics. Moreover, the application of biodegradable materials in many scenarios has also proven to be beneficial to the environment, which is almost a
