Bioplastic resin manufacturing
Production of Biodegradable Plastic Granules
In the context of increasingly serious environmental pollution caused by plastic waste, production of biodegradable plastic granules is emerging as a promising solution. This article will provide an overview of the production of biodegradable plastic granules process, advantages, applications, and challenges of this industry.
Overview of biodegradable plastic granule production
What are biodegradable plastic granules?
Biodegradable plastic granules are a type of plastic material produced from renewable resources, capable of biodegradation under suitable environmental conditions. Unlike traditional plastics derived from petroleum, biodegradable plastic granules help reduce dependence on fossil fuels and reduce the amount of non-degradable plastic waste.
Raw materials for producing biodegradable plastic granules
The production of biodegradable plastic granules process uses a variety of renewable raw materials, including:
- Starch (corn, potatoes, cassava):
- Cellulose (bagasse, straw, wood pulp):
- Polylactic acid (PLA) (fermented sugar from corn or sugarcane):
- Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) (bacteria produced from vegetable oils or sugar):
Popular types of biodegradable plastic granules
Currently, there are many different types of biodegradable plastic granules on the market, classified based on raw materials and properties:
- PLA: Widely used in the production of food packaging, disposable cups.
- PHA: Has better biodegradability than PLA, used in the production of agricultural film, garbage bags.
- Modified starch: Commonly used in the production of nylon bags, food wrap.
- Cellulose acetate: Used in the production of textiles, filter membranes.
Outstanding advantages of biodegradable plastic granules
Environmental friendliness
The biggest advantage of production of biodegradable plastic granules compared to traditional plastics is the ability to biodegrade. Under suitable conditions (temperature, humidity, microorganisms), biodegradable plastic granules can decompose into inorganic substances such as water, CO2 and biomass, without causing soil and water pollution.
Reduce greenhouse gas emissions
Using renewable materials in production of biodegradable plastic granules helps reduce dependence on fossil fuels, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions generated during production.
Safe for consumer health
Biodegradable plastic granules are made from natural materials, do not contain harmful substances such as BPA, phthalates, safe for consumer health when in direct contact with food and personal items.
Potential for regeneration and biodegradation
Raw materials for production of biodegradable plastic granules can be continuously regenerated from agricultural sources and agricultural by-products. After use, products made from biodegradable plastic granules can biodegrade completely, creating a closed loop, contributing to the protection of natural resources.
Diverse applications of biodegradable plastic granules in life
In the packaging industry
Biodegradable plastic granules are widely used in production of biodegradable plastic granules for food packaging, shopping bags, storage boxes, contributing to reducing the amount of non-degradable plastic waste.
In the food service industry
Disposable cups, straws, knives, forks made from biodegradable plastic granules are an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional plastic products, especially in restaurants and cafes.
In the medical field
Biodegradable plastic granules are used in the production of self-dissolving sutures, implants, bandages, helping to reduce the risk of infection and complications after surgery.
Other potential applications
In addition, biodegradable plastic granules have many other potential applications in fields such as:
- Agriculture (agricultural film, biodegradable plant pots).
- Textiles (bio-based fabrics).
- Children's toys (safe, non-toxic toys).
- Household products (trays, storage boxes).
Challenges and prospects of the biodegradable plastic granule production industry
Production costs
One of the biggest challenges of the production of biodegradable plastic granules industry is that production costs are still higher than traditional plastics. This is due to the cost of raw materials and limited production technology.
Raw material supply
The supply of renewable raw materials for production of biodegradable plastic granules needs to be ensured stable and sustainable, avoiding affecting food security and land use.
Consumer awareness
Raising consumer awareness about the benefits of biodegradable plastic granules and encouraging the use of products made from this material is an important factor in promoting the development of the industry.
Potential for development and innovation
The production of biodegradable plastic granules industry has great potential for development in the future, with the development of production technology, stable raw material supply and increasing consumer awareness. Continuous research and innovation will help improve quality, reduce costs and expand the application of biodegradable plastic granules in many different fields.
