Biodegradable plastic bags have many advantages over traditional plastic bags, including:
Environmentally friendly:
Biodegradable plastic bags can be naturally degraded under the right conditions, reducing the negative impact on the environment. They can be decomposed into natural compounds by the action of microorganisms and will not accumulate in soil or water, reducing the pollution of the ecosystem by plastic waste.
Resource renewal:
Biodegradable plastic bags usually use raw materials from renewable resources, such as vegetable starch, cellulose, etc. In contrast, traditional plastic bags are mainly made from non-renewable resources such as oil, which puts pressure on resource consumption.
Reduce greenhouse gas emissions:
The production process of biodegradable plastic bags typically produces fewer greenhouse gas emissions because they use plant-based raw materials instead of fossil fuels.
Substitutability:
Biodegradable plastic bags can be used as an alternative to traditional plastic bags in many applications, including shopping bags, packaging materials and disposable tableware.
Wide range of applications:
The performance and function of biodegradable plastic bags can be adjusted according to needs, making them suitable for various uses. They can have similar strength, flexibility and durability to traditional plastic bags.
It is important to note that although biodegradable plastic bags have many advantages, there are still some challenges in practical applications. For example, issues such as ensuring appropriate treatment conditions, establishing recycling and waste sorting systems, and the proper use and disposal of biodegradable materials by the public need to consider.
