Bio-based Degradable New Materials Application Scenarios

In the field of food and catering packaging, this material can replace traditional petroleum-based plastics to produce disposable lunch boxes, food packaging bags, fresh-keeping films, straws, tableware and other products. The material has good waterproof, oil-proof and fresh-keeping properties, complies with food contact safety standards, and can be widely used in catering chains, supermarket retail, fresh food cold chain, takeout distribution and other scenarios, reducing disposable plastic pollution from the source and adapting to the trend of green environmental protection consumption.

In the field of modern agriculture, degradable plastic mulch films, slow-release fertilizer coatings and degradable seedling pots are core application products. Residual traditional plastic mulch films will cause problems such as soil compaction, cultivated land degradation and microplastic residues. However, bio-based degradable mulch films can complete the planting functions of heat preservation, soil moisture retention and weed suppression during the crop growth cycle, and can be naturally degraded after harvest, effectively protecting the ecological environment of cultivated land and supporting the development of ecological agriculture and green planting industry.

In the light daily industry and logistics field, bio-based degradable materials can be used to make green textile fabrics, maternal and infant personal products, disposable hotel consumables, as well as express buffer fillers and logistics packaging consumables. Compared with traditional chemical fiber and plastic products, their wastes can be naturally degraded without causing long-term pollution to soil and water, improving the green logistics supply chain and green daily necessities system.

With the continuous upgrading of biological modification and synthesis processes, the performance of bio-based degradable materials will be continuously optimized and the cost gradually reduced. In the future, they will be applied in more high-end scenarios such as medical consumables, precision packaging and industrial consumables, becoming important supporting materials for the development of low-carbon circular economy.
