The application of biodegradable materials in packaging

Biodegradable materials refer to materials that can be decomposed in the natural environment through the action of biological factors such as microorganisms, water, oxygen and so on. At present, with the continuous improvement of environmental awareness, biodegradable materials are more and more widely used in the field of packaging. Biodegradable materials have the following advantages:

1. Environmentally friendly: biodegradable materials can be decomposed in the natural environment without causing pollution to the environment.

2. Energy saving: The manufacturing process of biodegradable materials is simple and does not require high temperature, high pressure and other processes with high energy consumption.

3. Reduce costs: Biodegradable materials can disappear through microbial decomposition in the natural environment, reducing the cost of waste disposal.

4. Renewable: Biodegradable materials are mainly made of renewable resources such as plant fibers and starch, which are rich in resources.

At present, the application of biodegradable materials in the field of packaging is mainly divided into the following aspects:

1. Tableware and drink cups: Tableware and drink cups made of biodegradable materials can be discarded directly after use without causing pollution to the environment.

2. Express packaging: Express packaging made of biodegradable materials can effectively reduce the cost of waste disposal.

3. Garbage bags: Garbage bags made of biodegradable materials can be discarded directly after use without causing pollution to the environment.

4. Medical supplies packaging: medical supplies packaging made of biodegradable materials can effectively reduce the cost of medical waste disposal.

In short, the application of biodegradable materials in the field of packaging has a wide range of prospects and application value, which can effectively reduce the cost of waste treatment and environmental pollution.
