Compostable Thermoforming Material

Product Introduction

Compostable thermoforming material is a polymer composed of bio-based polymers such as PLA, PBS, and TPS. It fully biodegrades under specific conditions into organic fertilizer, reducing environmental pollution and promoting resource recycling. It also has good physical properties to meet various thermoforming product needs, making it an important direction in sustainable packaging development.

Product Advantages

Biodegradability
Compostable thermoforming materials consist of bio-based polymers such as PLA, PBS, and TPS. These materials can fully biodegrade under specific conditions, transforming into organic fertilizer, thereby reducing environmental pollution and promoting resource recycling.

Excellent Physical Properties
The exceptional physical properties of compostable thermoforming materials, such as high strength, toughness, and heat resistance, stem from their advanced formulation. Specifically, the incorporation of reinforcing agents and modifiers within the bio-based polymers enhances their tensile strength to over 40MPa and flexural strength to exceed 60MPa. Furthermore, the careful selection of materials ensures a heat deflection temperature of up to 70°C. These robust characteristics meet the diverse needs of thermoformed products, including food packaging containers and disposable tableware.

Significant Environmental Advantages
Compared to traditional plastics, compostable thermoforming materials significantly reduce environmental impact during production and use. For instance, their carbon emissions are more than 50% lower than those of conventional plastics. Additionally, their biodegradable nature allows waste to be processed through industrial composting, preventing long-term environmental persistence.

Wide Application Range
Compostable thermoforming materials are versatile and suitable not only for the food packaging sector but also for agricultural films, medical supplies, and other industries. This versatility positions them as a key direction in sustainable packaging development.

Product Parameters 

                                                                  PLA is different from ordinary plastics

                                                                                       Four characteristics of PLA

 

Form a biomass resource recycling system

As a fully degradable bio-based material, PLA can incorporate raw material into resource regeneration and circulation system, which has the advantages that petroleum-based materials do not have.PLA is derived from nature and has characteristic of full biodegradability, driving biomass resources to form a regeneration and circulation system.

 

In line with the guiding direction of "carbon neutral" policy

The carbon element in PLA mainly comes from the carbon dioxide absorbed from the natural environment by plants such as corn and sugarcane during the growth process, and returns to nature in the form of carbon dioxide during degradation process, and re-engages into regeneration and circulation of biomass resources through photosynthesis of plants.

Therefore, compared with petroleum-based materials, PLA materials can achieve "break-even" of carbon to a greater extent, which is more conducive to realization of "carbon neutrality" goal in plastic industry.

 

Environmentally friendly disposal of products

The fully biodegradable nature of PLA makes it a compostable plastic that can be disposed of in a degradable and environmentally friendly way.

After contact with water or humid air, the ester bond of PLA is prone to hydrolyze and break, and the broken product is completely decomposed into carbon dioxide and water under the action of microorganisms, which is the degradation principle of PLA material at the microscopic level.

On the macro level, the degradation of PLA products shows that the overall structure is destroyed, the volume becomes smaller and gradually becomes fragments, finally becomes carbon dioxide and water.

 

With good property

The good mechanical and physical properties of PLA make it a thermoplastic material that can be processed by traditional techniques.It is suitable for extrusion molding, injection molding, extrusion blow molding, spinning, foaming and other major plastic processing processes. It is compatible with existing plastic processing equipment.
