The story of a bio-based biodegradable plastic

2023-09-11

As one of the great inventions of the 20th century, plastic, has brought convenience to human life, but its waste has caused non-negligible negative impacts on resources and the environment. In the international community, people are paying more attention to the plastic pollution crisis, and countries have introduced policies to ban non-recyclable and non-degradable plastic products.

Bioplastics, help "plastic" to create a green future

As one of the solutions to "white pollution", bioplastics can be categorized into bio-based plastics and biodegradable plastics according to their raw material sources and degradation characteristics. Among them, bio-based degradable plastics are regarded as products that can reduce the impact on resources and the environment.

Its raw materials are partially or wholly derived from natural substances, especially bio-based biodegradable plastics whose raw materials are renewable, non-edible plant resources, which not only can partially or completely biodegrade under certain conditions, but also reduce environmental pollution at all stages of the whole life cycle of the plastics, as well as reduce the consumption of food resources.
