In March 2022, the Fifth UN Environment Conference continued to pass the "Plastic Pollution Resolution (Draft)" at Nairobi, Kenya's capital. At the meeting, the head of state, environment minister and other representatives from 175 countries signed this historic. The resolution aims to promote global governance of reduce plastic pollution and hopes to end plastic pollution by 2024.
Attention of degradable materials
According to the previous environmental report released by the OECD(Organization for Economic Co-operation andDevelopment), in 2019, the annual output of global plastic products is about 460 million tons, and the annual plastic garbage has reached 353 million tons. Production products, including plastic packaging (40 %), plastic consumer goods (12), textiles (11 %), etc.
With the development of policies, biodegradable materials will continue to increase.
Competition for capacity of production
At present, degradable plastic on the market can be divided into two types: "petroleum base" and "biological base". The distinction between the two is mainly divided in production raw materials. Petroleum -based degradable plastic is produced based on fossil energy, mainly includes PBS (polynoxylxylxylxyl glycol), PBAT (alcoholic glycolic glycolin and phenyl -dysteenol (common polymer), PCL (polycopide), etc.; And biological substrates degradable plastic are mainly based on corn, straw and other biological materials, mainly including PLA (polylactic acid) and PHA (polyxide alkyl).
Among the above-mentioned biodegradable materials, compared with other organism-degradable materials, PLA (polyal acid) and PBAT prices are relatively low, and the production process is relatively mature. The main alternative of traditional plastics.
The raw materials of PLA are mainly corn and straw. After use, it can be quickly decomposed into carbon dioxide, water and inorganic salts under compost (industrial compost) conditions. (PLA) production forms a carbon cycle.
We should raise awareness of environmental protection and reduce plastic pollution. Our wholesale thermoforming machine can produce PLA's one-time tableware, simple and convenient operation, intelligent program, which can meet your production needs.
