How many misconceptions about biodegradable plastic bags have you fallen for?

Addressing plastic pollution immediately is a global issue that can no longer be ignored. Currently, domestic policies seem to place hope for resolving plastic pollution on biodegradable plastics bags There was once overwhelming public support for this plastic bag material ， However, are biodegradable plastics truly completely biodegradable? How much do you know about the materials used in biodegradable bags plastic bags ？ Let's learn more from Shunxingyuan Packaging, a professional manufacturer of flexible packaging. Below, we will learn more from Shunxingyuan Packaging, a professional flexible packaging manufacturer.

Misunderstanding 1: Biodegradable plastics bags can degrade and disappear in soil and air

Biodegradable plastics bags require specific temperatures, humidity, and microbial action to achieve complete degradation, producing harmless substances such as carbon dioxide and water. If not sorted and recycled, biodegradable plastics bags entering the environment will cause environmental harm, similar to that caused by ordinary disposable plastics.
     Misunderstanding 2: Biodegradable plastics bags can all degrade and disappear in home composting

     Compostable plastics are a type of biodegradable plastic. While ordinary home composting environments can provide a certain amount of fungi and bacteria, the temperature does not reach the level of industrial composting, significantly reducing the degradation performance of biodegradable plastics. Therefore, only some compostable plastics certified for home composting can degrade in home composting.

Currently, China does not have standards or certifications for home composting. Some products on the market labeled as home compostable have passed the OK Compost HOME certification from the Austrian certification body TÜV AUSTRIA, and obtained the corresponding certification mark. The product can complete degradation within 12 months at a temperature of 20-30℃. The OK Compost HOME certification is based on Australian AS 5810, French NF T 51800, and EU EN 17427 standards.
        Misunderstanding 3: Biodegradable plastics bags are derived from plants

Biodegradable plastics The raw materials for bags come from two sources: one is bio-based, such as directly from biomass, like potato and corn starch mixtures; but some are also from fossil-based materials. Currently, approximately 24% of compostable plastics are fossil-based plastics.

Misunderstanding 4: Biodegradable plastics are suitable for various disposable products

Currently, the final disposal of biodegradable plastics requires degradation in special composting environments, so they are more suitable for use in food contact and agricultural product scenarios, such as food packaging, agricultural films, and disposable tableware, to facilitate recycling and composting, and reduce the potential impact on composting quality.

Misunderstanding 5 Biodegradable plastics bags and ordinary plastics bags are easy to distinguish

There is currently no national mandate for uniform labeling of biodegradable plastics. The currently stipulated labels are difficult to identify visually, so more careful identification is required when purchasing products.
