Plastic restriction forces transformation and upgrading, and plastic companies seize new outlets

Beginning in June this year, after China’s relevant national policies were announced, some companies have gradually increased the production of fully biodegradable bags and biodegradable mulch films. By December, half a year, there were already 50 tons of fully biodegradable plastic bags and 300 Tons of biodegradable mulch film was put on the market. The production capacity of biodegradable products has been increased to 10 times of the same period in previous years.

Biodegradable products are processed by blending biodegradable polyester (PBAT, etc.), starch fermentation polymer polylactic acid (PLA) and modified starch and other biomass products. Due to the unique molecular structure of the material, under certain conditions, it can be decomposed by enzymes secreted by special bacteria or fungi in nature into molecules with a molecular weight of less than 500, which are further digested and absorbed by microorganisms, which are used as nutrients for microorganisms, and finally generate carbon dioxide through biological metabolism. And water, return to nature.

The introduction of the most stringent plastic order has allowed companies with a sense of social responsibility to seize the market. In the past few years, China advocated the use of biodegradable plastic bags, but because of the high cost, the market did not recognize it. The national policy made the whole society and all industries pay attention to biodegradable materials, so that new materials companies that invested in this research early and have a certain reserve Be the first to stand in the economic vent.
