With the introduction of the ban on plastics, in 2022, the consumption of single-use plastic products will be significantly reduced, alternative products will be promoted, and the proportion of plastic waste recycling and energy utilization will increase significantly; In emerging fields such as express delivery and takeaway, a number of replicable and popularized plastic reduction and green logistics models have been formed.
In 2025, the management system for the production, circulation, consumption, recycling and disposal of plastic products will be basically established, a multi-dimensional co-governance system will basically be formed, the development and application level of alternative products will be further improved, the amount of plastic waste landfill in key cities will be greatly reduced, and plastic pollution will be effectively eliminated. control. By the end of 2025, express delivery outlets nationwide will ban the use of non-degradable plastic packaging bags, plastic tapes, and disposable plastic woven bags.
What are the degradable shopping bags that are looking to replace plastic?
A plastic bag made of degradable plastic that can be decomposed naturally in the natural environment is a degradable plastic bag. Degradable plastic is an environmentally friendly plastic bag by adding a certain amount of additives in the production process to reduce its stability and enable it to decompose in the natural environment. There are four main types of degradable plastic bags: photodegradation, life explanation, water degradation and photo/biodegradation combination. Degradable plastic bags generally have the symbol of degradable garbage, and have a short shelf life, and will degrade naturally even if they are not used. Let's learn about the knowledge of degradable plastic bags!
In terms of its functionality, plastic bags can be divided into fiber packaging plastic bags, daily necessities plastic bags, food packaging plastic bags, continuous roll garbage bags, continuous roll vest bags, handbags, fresh-keeping bags, luggage bags, document bags, data bags. Bags, etc., which are made of degradable materials will change the existing packaging environment and greatly reduce the generation of waste.
The shelf life of degradable plastic bags is only about three months. Even if they are not used, natural degradation will occur in five months. In the sixth month, the plastic bags will be covered with "snowflakes" and cannot be used. Under composting conditions, even newly produced degradable plastic bags can be completely degraded in only three months.
Biodegradable plastic bags, also known as biodegradable shopping bags, are made of materials extracted from plants such as plant starch, corn flour, etc. These raw materials will not cause any damage to the human body and the environment.
Stone paper shopping bag is a new type of shopping bag, which is mainly synthesized from calcium carbonate and high molecular polymers, of which calcium carbonate accounts for most of the raw materials. Therefore, the shopping bag made of stone paper is also degradable, it does not consume wood and water resources, and has good waterproof and insect resistance.
By using the landfill method, it only takes a period of time for the shopping bags to be degraded into biological particles, which are then absorbed by the soil. It is difficult to change the soil structure after the degradable plastic bag is degraded, and it is basically harmless to the soil.
For our environment, the development of degradable shopping bags will only become more and more environmentally friendly, and plastic bags will be gone forever.
