What are the benefits of using fully biodegradable plastic bags? Which supplier is reliable for custom orders?

Plastic bags are ubiquitous in our daily lives and are an indispensable product. Supermarkets, food, clothing, and cosmetics packaging all use traditional plastic bags. However, most plastic bags are discarded or incinerated after use, with only a small percentage being recycled. Plastic bags accumulating in soil can hinder crops from absorbing nutrients and water, leading to reduced yields. Made from petroleum, plastic bags not only consume vast resources but are also non-biodegradable, polluting land and rivers when buried. Incineration produces harmful gases, severely polluting the atmosphere and posing significant health risks. To address this "white pollution," various biodegradable materials such as fully biodegradable and degradable plastic bags have emerged. Shunxingyuan Packaging, a professional flexible packaging manufacturer, has also produced several fully biodegradable and degradable plastic bags.

Degradable plastic bags come in two types: photodegradable and fully biodegradable. Photodegradable bags contain photoinitiators that accelerate degradation under ultraviolet light. Fully biodegradable bags incorporate natural materials like starch into the polymer chains, allowing soil and water microorganisms to break down the starch and the plastic.
Fully biodegradable plastic bags offer the same safety and reliability as traditional plastic bags while addressing the problems of non-biodegradability and incineration pollution, making them a promising direction for the plastics industry.

Fully biodegradable plastic bags are environmentally friendly, generally producing no secondary pollution, and are relatively low-cost. They achieve harmless resource utilization, maximizing value and creating a vast market.

Degradable plastic bags are completely biodegradable and made from plant stalks, making them environmentally friendly and safe for humans. Unlike the three major synthetic plastics, they decompose in biological environments after disposal, posing no harm to humans or the environment, making them a green packaging option. Degradable plastic bags are divided into two types based on their raw materials and decomposition factors: One type uses polyethylene as the main material, mixed with starch or other biodegradable agents, also known as fully biodegradable plastic bags. These bags primarily decompose through microbial action. The other type uses polyethylene as the main material, mixed with photodegradable agents and calcium carbonate, also known as photodegradable plastic bags. These bags decompose under sunlight.
Fully Biodegradable Differences between plastic bags and non-degradable traditional plastic bags

1. Different Materials

Fully biodegradable plastic bags (also known as eco-friendly plastic bags) use materials such as PLA, PHAs, PBA, and PBS. Non-degradable traditional plastic bags use PE and other plastic materials.

2. Different Production Standards

Fully biodegradable plastic bags must meet the national standard GB/T21661-2008, meeting environmental protection standards. Traditional non-degradable plastic bags do not need to comply with this standard.

3. Different Decomposition Times
Fully biodegradable plastic bags generally decompose within a year, while Olympic eco-friendly plastic bags may start to decompose after 72 days. Non-degradable plastic bags take 200 years to decompose.

Advantages of Using Fully Biodegradable Plastic Bags

1. Environmental Protection Using fully biodegradable plastic bags significantly reduces the white pollution caused by non-degradable traditional plastic bags.

2. Excellent Performance: Fully biodegradable plastic bags, primarily made from starch, have better degradation capabilities than other materials, a longer lifespan than paper bags, and lower costs than paper bags.

3. Exquisite and Versatile: Fully biodegradable plastic bags are functionally identical to ordinary plastic bags except for their material composition. They can be beautifully printed, are appropriately sized, and can package numerous products.

4. Recyclability: Fully biodegradable plastic bags are soft, durable, foldable, and have a good texture, making them recyclable for a long time.
