What is the difference between a fully biodegradable plastic bag and a degradable plastic bag?

In daily life, the use of plastic bags is very large, and there are many types of plastic bags. As an ordinary consumer, you may only pay attention to whether plastic bags are good-looking, durable or not, and seldom pay attention to the material of plastic bags and the harm to the environment after they are discarded. With the step-by-step promotion and implementation of the “plastic ban”, more and more consumers are beginning to pay attention to degradable environmentally friendly plastic bags and fully biodegradable plastic bags. Many customers often inquire about degradable plastic bags, but it seems that many customers don’t know that degradable plastic bags include biodegradable plastic bags and fully biodegradable plastic bags. Today, professional flexible packaging manufacturer, Oemy Environmental Friendly Pacakging popularizes everyone.

A degradable plastic bag is literally a degradable plastic bag, which means it can be degraded, but it still contains plastic and other related ingredients. It is only partially degraded, and not completely degraded. After being discarded, it will still be The traditional plastic bags are buried or incinerated. In this way, it will also pollute the environment to a certain degree. In other words, when consumers use biodegradable plastic bags, their fate is actually the same as traditional plastic bags. After being discarded, they all enter the landfill or are incinerated, and they cannot be subjected to special industrial compost degradation treatment. Therefore, “degradable” is just “degradable”, not the same as “fully biodegradable”. In a sense, biodegradable plastic bags are not a viable solution to “white pollution”, nor are they a “magic bullet” to solve plastic bag pollution. In essence, it still produces a lot of waste, and biodegradable plastic bags actually have to Not degraded.

The biodegradation process

 

The fully biodegradable plastic bag material is composed of PLA (polylactic acid) and PBAT (polyadipate), which are recognized as environmentally friendly materials, harmless and environmentally friendly products. Under the conditions of compost degradation, the fully biodegradable plastic bags can be fully biodegraded within 180 days. The products of degradation are carbon dioxide and water, which are directly absorbed by plants in the soil, returned to the soil, or degraded when entering the general environment. Pollution in the environment is truly derived from nature and attributed to nature.

The use of fully biodegradable plastic bags greatly reduces the pollution of plastic products to the environment, and is truly environmentally friendly, healthy, and safe to use.
