According to the statistical data, at present, the annual amount of plastic waste in the world is 15 million tons, and the proportion of waste plastic in the garbage accounts for 40%. Such a large amount of waste plastic is buried underground as garbage, which undoubtedly brings greater pressure on the arable land that is already lacking. Nowadays, the world is facing the same problem, so the market prospect of degradable plastic products is not only limited to China, but also covers almost every corner of the earth.
Degradable plastics refer to a kind of plastics whose properties can meet the use requirements, whose properties remain unchanged during the storage period, and can be degraded into environmentally friendly substances in the natural environment after use. Therefore, it is also known as environmentally degradable plastics.
Synthetic polymer materials have been widely used in various fields. However, the used plastic waste has become a public hazard to the environment and society. Some developed countries have formulated regulations to restrict or prohibit the use of non degradable plastics in some occasions and require the use of degradable plastics. For this reason, governments and the plastics industry in various countries have begun to formulate effective measures for the treatment and recycling of waste plastics. At the same time, they attach great importance to the research and development of degradable plastics. With the coordination and support of the government, degradable plastics have become a research hotspot in the international plastics industry.
Degradable PLA string tag has gradually become the development trend. On the one hand, it is beneficial to environmental protection. On the other hand, it is also the embodiment of corporate social responsibility, which is conducive to increase the positive publicity of enterprises. It can be said that the market development potential of degradable plastic packaging is huge.
