Q:Where are the main uses of biodegradable plastics?
Oct 11 , 2022
A:There are two main areas for the use of degradable plastics.
One is the area where ordinary plastics were originally used. In these fields, it is difficult to collect plastic products after use or consumption, which will cause harm to the environment, such as agricultural mulch and disposable plastic packaging.
The second is the field of replacing other materials with plastic. The use of degradable plastics in these areas can bring convenience, such as ball tacks for golf courses, and seedling fixing materials for tropical rainforest afforestation. Specific applications are:
1) Agriculture, forestry and fishery, plastic film, water-retaining materials, seedling pots, seedbeds, rope nets, slow-release materials for pesticides and agricultural fertilizers.
2) Packaging industry, shopping bags, garbage bags, compost bags, disposable lunch boxes, instant noodle bowls, buffer packaging materials.
3) Sporting goods, golf tacks and tees
4) Hygiene products, women's hygiene products, baby diapers, medical mattresses, disposable haircuts.
5) Medical materials, bandages, clips, small sticks for cotton swabs, gloves, drug release materials, as well as surgical sutures and fracture fixation materials.
