According to the "Research Report on the Environmental Impact and Recycling of Plastic Packaging in the Food Delivery Industry (2021)", since 2015, China's food delivery industry has experienced explosive growth, resulting in an increase in plastic packaging consumption (waste) from 57000 tons in 2015 to 574000 tons in 2020. The pressure on the ecological environment caused by this should not be underestimated.
The essence of plastic pollution is the leakage of plastic waste into natural environments such as soil and water bodies, which is difficult to degrade and causes environmental hazards such as soil damage and microplastics.
Can plastic pollution be solved from the plastic production end? What is the principle of plastic degradation? How is it achieved that plastic only produces water and carbon dioxide after degradation? Recently, Taizhou Huangyan Jiazheng Mold&Plastic Co., Ltd reveals the secret behind solving plastic pollution from the production end.
Within 180 days in a composting environment, it can completely decompose into water and carbon dioxide
The so-called composting environment mainly refers to high temperature and high humidity. Biodegradable plastic bags can be degraded by microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and algae that exist in nature. Ideal biodegradable plastics have excellent performance and can be completely decomposed by environmental microorganisms after disposal, becoming a component of the carbon cycle in nature.
In terms of safety, some areas do not have composting capabilities and do not produce toxic substances such as dioxins during incineration treatment; In terms of renewability, its components, PLA and starch, are extracted from corn starch and have sustainability.
