Biodegradables will improve plastic pollution to some extent

Throwaway plastic has found its way into almost every aspect of our lives: from the disposable coffee cup you pick up on the way to work or the straw in your smoothie, to the hidden fibres woven into wet wipes and tiny glittering fragments in make-up.

Of the 6.3 billion tonnes of plastic we’ve thrown away since we started mass-producing it in the 1950s, just 600 million tonnes has been recycled – and 4.9 billion tonnes has been sent to landfill or left in the natural environment.

Now in our life,We are used to using plastic products like Disposable bags which made from PE，PP or PVC Materials.Because when we go shopping,most people won't take the shopping bags,so we get many disposable shopping bags from stores and mall.

That's really bad,because these plastic bags are not biodegradable and compostable.They can only be degraded into Microplastics,and this process takes hundreds of years.Until now,do you think is is over?NO,Microplastics can be absorbed by fish and other animals.And then we eat the fish and other animals,The Microplastics will enter our body.And Excessive accumulation can be harmful to the body.

While awareness of the detrimental impact plastic can have on the environment has exploded in recent years, environmentally friendly alternatives are only now picking up steam.

Most biodegradable and compostable plastics are bioplastics, made from plants rather than fossil fuels and depending on the application you need them for, there are plenty to choose from.

A subset of them are compostable, which means that not only are they broken down by microbes, but they can be turned – alongside food and other organic waste – into compost. Only a minority of these plastics are home compostable, so, the label “compostable” most often means industrially compostable. That coffee cup with a Seedling logo you’re drinking from won’t decompose very quickly, if at all, on your home compost heap, but will break down inside the right kind of industrial equipment.

Around half of biodegradable plastics are starch-blends. Polylactic acid (PLA), typically used in compostable coffee cups and lids, makes up another quarter.

But now we use PBAT, PLA and Corn starch materials to produce totally new polymers, which have perfect biodegradable properties and possess the physicochemical properties of the original macromolecular materials.And Suitable For Home Composting.After the end of the working life, it will effectively degrade under the conditions of composting and will be eaten by microoganism. No harmful chemicals are released into the environment during decomposition, only water, carbon dioxide and biomass.

Correct selection and use of biodegradable packaging products to replace plastic products can effectively reduce plastic pollution to a certain extent. I know it's difficult to change your lifestyle,Because we are all used to the convenience that plastic brings us.So at least I recommend that use biodegradable&compostable products instead of traditional plastic products.
