Fully degradable plastic bags are being used in more and more industries. It's a trend, and a necessity for environmental protection. What exactly are fully degradable plastic bags, and where can you find high-quality suppliers? Today, Shunxingyuan Packaging, a professional flexible packaging manufacturer, will discuss this in detail.
Fully degradable plastic bags refer to plastic packaging bags that completely degrade into water, carbon dioxide, and other small molecules. The main source of this fully degradable material is polylactic acid, or PLA, which is processed from corn, cassava, etc. Polylactic acid (PLA) is a new type of bio-based and renewable biodegradable material. Starch raw materials are saccharified to obtain glucose, which is then fermented with certain strains to produce high-purity lactic acid. This is then chemically synthesized into polylactic acid with a certain molecular weight. It has good biodegradability and can be completely degraded by microorganisms in nature under specific conditions, ultimately producing carbon dioxide and water without polluting the environment. This is very beneficial for environmental protection and is a recognized environmentally friendly material.
Currently, the main bio-based materials for fully degradable plastic bags consist of PLA+PBAT. Under composting conditions (60-70 degrees), they can completely decompose into water and carbon dioxide within 3-6 months, causing no environmental pollution.
Why add PBAT? PBAT is a copolymer of adipic acid, 1,4-butanediol, and terephthalic acid. It is a fully biodegradable chemically synthesized aliphatic-aromatic polymer. PBAT has excellent flexibility and can be processed into various shapes through film extrusion, blowing, extrusion coating, etc. The purpose of blending PLA and PBAT is to improve PLA's toughness, biodegradability, and processing performance.
