How PBAT modification technology can solve marine pollution?
About 8 million tons of plastic waste flows into the ocean every year, and traditional polyethylene (PE) plastics take more than 400 years to decompose in the marine environment. This grim reality is being changed by an innovative technology – the birth of modified PBAT (polybutylene adipate/terephthalate) seawater degradable plastics. I. Breakthroughs in PBAT marine […]
PLA vs PBAT vs Corn Starch Degradation Conditions
PLA (polylactic acid), PBAT (polybutylene adipate/terephthalate) and corn starch, as the three major mainstream degradable materials, each have unique degradation characteristics and environmental requirements. I.PLA degradation conditions and mechanisms Industrial composting environment (optimal conditions) PLA performs best in an ideal industrial composting facility, which needs to meet the following stringent conditions: – Temperature range: 58-70°C […]
How to Pick a True Biodegradable Plastic Bag?
In the fight against plastic pollution and in an effort to find sustainable alternatives, many consumers have begun using “biodegradable plastic bags”. However, the market is flooded with many products that do not live up to their name. In order to make sure you’re making a truly eco-friendly choice, it’s crucial to know how to […]
90% of “degradable plastics” still polluting the environment?
The growing problem of plastic pollution in recent years has prompted the widespread use of “degradable plastics” as a potential solution. Surprisingly, however, about 90% of these so-called “degradable plastics” are still causing environmental pollution. The root cause lies in certification standards. 1. Definition and classification of degradable plastics Degradable plastics break down into smaller […]
can biodegradable bags really disappear?
Since the implementation of the 2020 “Plastic Restriction Order”, the biodegradable plastics industry has ushered in unprecedented development opportunities. Major supermarkets, takeaway platforms have changed into “environmental” new clothes, consumers are also happy to pay for this “green commitment”. But behind this wave of environmental protection, a key issue has been consciously or unconsciously ignored: […]
