The first type is starch based degradable materials
Starch is a polysaccharide commonly found in plants, which can be degraded by microorganisms into carbon dioxide and water. Starch based degradable materials are usually made from starch, which has good degradation performance and plasticity, and can be widely used in fields such as plastic packaging materials and disposable tableware.
The second type is polylactic acid based biodegradable material (PLA)
Polylactic acid is a polymer formed by the polymerization of lactic acid molecules, which can be rapidly degraded into carbon dioxide and water through the action of microorganisms. Polylactic acid degradation materials not only have good degradation performance, but also have good mechanical properties, which can be used to make disposable tableware, medical supplies, etc.
The third type is cellulose based biodegradable materials
Cellulose is one of the most important components of plant cell walls and has excellent biodegradability. Currently, sugarcane bagasse fiber and bamboo pulp fiber are commonly used in the market. Fujian Shenglin Packaging Company can provide various styles of fiber products, such as fiber lunch boxes, fiber bowls, fiber cups, etc.
The fourth type is polyhydroxyalkanoate ester degradation material (PHA)
Polyhydroxyalkanoates are a type of polymer composed of hydroxyl fatty acid molecules, which have good biodegradability. Polyhydroxyalkanoate degradation materials can be used to manufacture plastic bags, agricultural films, etc.
The fifth type is bio based biodegradable polymers (PBAT)
Biobased degradable polymers are prepared from natural plant oils, sucrose, and other raw materials, and have good biodegradability and plasticity. Biobased degradable polymers can be applied to disposable tableware, packaging materials, etc.
In addition to the common biodegradable materials mentioned above, many new types of biodegradable materials have emerged in recent years, such as polyester based biodegradable materials and aliphatic polyester based biodegradable materials. These new materials have better performance and degradability, and will make greater contributions to environmental protection and sustainable development.
In summary, there are various types of biodegradable materials, each with its unique application areas and advantages. In the future, with the continuous development and innovation of technology, the research and application of biodegradable materials will be further promoted, making greater contributions to environmental protection and sustainable development.
