Are degradable plastic bags the same as biodegradable plastic bags? Shunxingyuan will tell you.

With the introduction of the first ban on plastic, the pollution caused by plastic bags to the environment has received increasing attention. Recently, after twelve years, the ban on plastic bags has returned, and 24 provinces across the country have successively issued "bans on plastic bags". In addition to prohibiting and restricting the use of plastic products, various places have also proposed to accelerate the promotion and application of alternative products and models. So what kind of plastic bags can be used as substitutes? Biodegradable plastic bags are a good choice, because using biodegradable plastic bags will not only provide us with convenience, but also will not pollute the environment. Currently, biodegradable plastic bags have not yet been widely used, and presumably everyone is not very familiar with biodegradable plastic bags. ， What kind of bag is a biodegradable plastic bag? Are biodegradable plastic bags the same as biodegradable plastic bags? Below, Shunxingyuan Packaging, a professional flexible packaging manufacturer, will popularize it.

At present, there are three types of so-called environmentally friendly plastic bags: biodegradable plastic bags, biodegradable plastic bags, and compostable plastic bags. Many people think that biodegradable means biodegradable, but this is not the case. Only those that can decompose into carbon dioxide and water have a protective effect on the environment.

Biodegradable plastic bags: Polymers in plastic bags are damaged locally or completely due to ultraviolet radiation, oxidative corrosion, and biocorrosion, meaning changes in properties, discoloration, cracking, and fragmentation.
Biodegradable plastic bags: The organic matter in plastic bags undergoes a biochemical process in which it is completely or partially converted into water, carbon dioxide/methane, energy, and new biomass under the action of microorganisms.
Compostable plastic bags: Plastic bags can be biodegraded under special conditions of high-temperature soil, usually requiring industrial composting to achieve better degradation.
Biodegradable plastic bags are biodegradable or compostable, and are converted into water and carbon dioxide due to biodegradation, disappearing from the environment and achieving a truly environmentally friendly effect.
Photodegradation: Plastics that degrade due to the action of natural light can only be partially or completely damaged.
Thermo-oxidative degradation: Plastics that degrade due to heat or oxidation, belonging to corrosion, can only be partially or completely damaged.

When purchasing biodegradable or compostable plastic bags, you need to check whether there is a nationally stipulated plastic bag label on the bag, and judge the production raw materials according to the label. Commonly used biodegradable or compostable raw materials are PLA and PBAT. Biodegradable bags can degrade into water and carbon dioxide in nature, soil, or industrial composting conditions within 180 days, belonging to organic circulation, and are harmless to the human body and the natural environment.
