Advantages of Biodegradable Films and Bags
-
Biodegradable films and bags have the remarkable property of being able to decompose under specific environmental conditions. These conditions can include the presence of certain microorganisms, appropriate temperature, humidity, and oxygen levels. For example, many biodegradable materials such as Poly butyleneadipate-co-terephthalate (PBAT) - based products break down into carbon dioxide and water over a period of time. In a composting environment, which typically provides the right combination of warmth, moisture, and microbial activity, these films and bags can decompose relatively quickly, usually within a few months to a few years. This is in sharp contrast to traditional non - biodegradable plastics that can persist in the environment for hundreds of years.
Material Sources and Sustainability
The materials used to make biodegradable films and bags are often derived from renewable resources. For instance, plant - based materials like starch, cellulose, and hemicellulose are common. These materials come from sources such as corn, sugarcane, and various other plants. The use of such renewable resources reduces the reliance on non - renewable petroleum - derived plastics. Moreover, the production of these plant - based materials generally has a lower carbon footprint. During their growth, plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, which can offset some of the carbon emissions associated with the production and disposal of the films and bags.
Versatility in Applications and Physical Properties
Biodegradable films and bags possess a wide range of physical properties that make them suitable for diverse applications. They can have good mechanical strength, flexibility, and puncture resistance similar to traditional plastics. For example, biodegradable packaging films can be designed to have excellent barrier properties to protect the contents from moisture, oxygen, and other external factors. In the case of biodegradable bags, they can come in different sizes, shapes, and thicknesses to meet various needs such as shopping bags, agricultural produce bags, or industrial packaging. Their versatility allows them to replace traditional plastics in many applications without sacrificing functionality.
