Degradable plastic refers to a type of plastic whose properties meet the requirements of use, has the same performance during the storage period, and can be degraded into environmentally friendly substances under natural environmental conditions after use. Therefore, it is also called It is an environmentally degradable plastic.


The lack of classification of garbage is one of the main reasons restricting the promotion of degradable plastics in the domestic market. The production cost of degradable plastics is higher than that of traditional polyolefin plastics, so there is no competitive advantage. If the policy is supported, the domestic degradable plastics market will soon open.

At present, the promotion and utilization of degradable plastics has been squarely recognized everywhere. Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hainan and other places are piloting waste sorting. Xinjiang, Northeast China, Yunnan and other places are still using biodegradable agricultural mulch films. Yunnan will also legislate to ban the production and sale of plastic shopping bags, and relevant drafts have been released.

Increased consumer pressures and increasingly stringent regulations have spurred demand for biodegradable plastics in North America, Europe and Asia, and are expected to increase from 269,000 tons in 2012 to 525,000 tons in 2017, with an average annual growth rate. Reached 15%.

In recent years, global non-degradable plastic bags have been popular with red light, and countries have begun to implement strong measures, especially in Europe and the United States. These two regions are both important global consumers of plastic bags and the world's largest importers of plastic bags. They restrict the use of non-degradable plastics through legislation, which will inevitably bring huge development opportunities and broad market to the biodegradable plastics industry.

Of course, degradable plastics are still lacking in certain properties, and it is impossible to completely replace the application of petrochemical ordinary plastic products in certain fields. For the market space for degradable plastics, the prospect of degradable plastics used in garbage bags, mulch films, shopping bags, etc. is more promising, and it is conservatively estimated that China will have a demand of 3 million tons in the future. Therefore, there is tens of billions of market space in the Chinese market alone.

At present, China is a global producer and consumer of plastic products. The research and development, production and application of biodegradable plastics are of great significance to the sustainable development of the plastics industry.
