What are the problems faced by the popularization of disposable biodegradable tableware?

Jul 24, 2024

Biodegradable plastics have broad prospects in the application of disposable environmental protection tableware because of its good degradability. However, the popularization of disposable biodegradable tableware is still facing some challenges. The following edition will explain to you!

 

The main target market of biodegradable plastics is disposable plastic tableware. Compared with traditional plastic materials, the cost of new degradable materials is slightly higher. However, with the increasing awareness of environmental protection, people are willing to use new biodegradable materials with a slightly higher price to protect the environment. Enhanced awareness of environmental protection has brought tremendous opportunities for the development of biodegradable new materials industry.

 

However, although there are many studies and reports on degradable plastics, many specific problems can not be solved, promotion is extremely difficult, and the prospects are not optimistic. As a result of:

One reason is that the degradable plastic bags have low load-bearing capacity, which can not meet the requirements of customers to pack more things and reuse them.

Second, degradable plastic bags are dim and yellowish in color and low in transparency, which gives people a feeling of being not clean and ugly enough to use.

Third, the price is on the high side, because the merchants are free gifts, so the cost is difficult to accept.

 

In addition, there is another point to be noted that the evaluation system of this kind of tableware is not perfect. Biodegradable plastics is a new industry. Many materials and products have been developed without their own product standards, which brings many inconveniences and disputes to trade.
