Advantages of Biodegradable Plastic Bags

Biodegradable plastic bags are those that are degraded by the action of naturally occurring microorganisms such as bacteria, molds and algae under natural conditions such as soil and/or sand, and/or specific conditions such as composting or anaerobic digestion or aqueous cultures, and eventually degrade completely into carbon dioxide (CO2) or/and methane (CH4), water (H2O) and the mineralization of the elements they contain. Inorganic salts, as well as new biomass of plastic bags.

There are some products on the market that claim to be photodegradable and thermo-oxidative degradable, what is the difference between them and biodegradable plastics?

Photodegradable and thermo-oxide-degradable plastics are all additive degradable plastics, i.e. adding degradation additives to traditional PP and PE to achieve the so-called “degradation”, whose “degradation” process is only a physical fracture of the material, turning into microplastics invisible to the naked eye, which is not only This is not only not conducive to the recycling and cleaning of plastics, but also will cause more harm to the environment. Biodegradable plastic, on the other hand, can be completely decomposed into carbon dioxide or methane, water and other biomass plastics under certain conditions, which will not affect the environment.
