Product characteristics and technical advantages of fully biodegradable food plastic wrap
Fully biodegradable food plastic wrap is an environmentally friendly packaging film made of fully biodegradable polymer materials through advanced formula design and manufacturing processes. Its main raw materials include bio-based polymers such as PBAT, PLA and degradable starch, which have the ability to be completely degraded into water and carbon dioxide through microbial action in the natural environment, fundamentally reducing the environmental burden caused by traditional plastic residues.
1. Excellent biodegradability
Fully biodegradable food plastic wrap uses fully degradable polymer materials such as PBAT, PLA and starch-based materials. These materials can be decomposed by microorganisms in the soil or compost in the natural environment or under industrial composting conditions, and eventually converted into water, carbon dioxide and biomass. This process is usually completed within a few months, which is significantly better than the long cycle of traditional plastics that takes hundreds of years to decompose.
Traditional plastic cling film is mostly made of non-degradable or difficult-to-degrade petrochemical-based polymer materials such as polyethylene and polyvinyl chloride. These materials degrade very slowly in the natural environment, usually taking hundreds of years or even longer to decompose. During this period, plastic films exposed to sunlight, wind and rain, and mechanical action will gradually break into extremely small plastic particles, namely microplastics. Microplastics can easily enter soil and water bodies, accumulate step by step through the food chain, and have a negative impact on soil microorganisms, crop growth and aquatic ecosystems. At the same time, some microplastics may also carry harmful chemicals, further exacerbating environmental pollution and ecological risks. Traditional plastic films are extremely difficult to recycle due to their large size, serious pollution and mixing with farmland soil, resulting in a large amount of plastic waste remaining in farmland, causing "white pollution" and increasing farmers' cleaning costs and environmental governance pressure.
Fully biodegradable cling film uses PBAT, PLA, starch-based polymer materials that can be decomposed by microorganisms. These materials can be completely decomposed by microorganisms in soil and compost under suitable conditions, and the final products are water, carbon dioxide and biomass, truly achieving harmlessness and zero residue. The degradation process is that the chemical structure of the material is catalyzed by microbial enzymes to form small molecules that are completely metabolized and utilized, so no plastic particles are produced, avoiding the microplastic pollution caused by traditional plastic films. It can be completely degraded, adapt to the rhythm of agricultural production, and avoid the impact of film residue on farming and crop growth. The degradation products are non-toxic and harmless natural substances, which are conducive to the restoration and maintenance of the soil ecological environment and promote the health and diversity of soil microbial communities.
2. Excellent packaging function
The plastic wrap has good transparency and glossiness, which can clearly show the color and texture of the food itself and enhance the market appeal of the product. Its flexibility and tensile strength are precisely controlled to ensure that it is not easy to break during the wrapping process, while maintaining good elasticity and sealing properties, effectively blocking the invasion of oxygen, moisture and microorganisms, extending the shelf life of food and ensuring food safety.
3. Safe and non-toxic, food grade standard
The raw materials are derived from food-grade safe bio-based polymers. The product is non-toxic and harmless. After strict food contact material testing and certification, it meets GB standards and international food safety regulations. It is suitable for the packaging needs of various fresh fruits and vegetables, meat, seafood and cooked food, and protects the health rights and interests of consumers.
4. Strong processing adaptability
Thanks to the company's years of research and development accumulation in the optimization of material formulas and functional modification such as PBAT and PLA, the product can adapt to a variety of processing technologies such as hot melt extrusion, blow molding, coating, etc., meet the needs of different specifications and thicknesses, realize automated large-scale production, and ensure stable supply and quality consistency.
The application value and market prospects of fully biodegradable food plastic wrap
1. Environmental protection advantages drive the explosion of market demand
As the environmental problems caused by plastic pollution become increasingly prominent, countries around the world have introduced plastic restrictions and bans, and traditional plastic cling film faces strong pressure to replace. Fully biodegradable food plastic wrap has become a green alternative product due to its environmentally friendly characteristics, meeting consumers' dual needs for health, safety and environmentally friendly products. Especially in the mid-to-high-end market that focuses on green consumption concepts, the product has more competitive advantages.
2. Wide application in the home and catering industry
The demand for cling film in home kitchens is stable and huge. Fully biodegradable cling film can meet users' pursuit of environmentally friendly life and help families achieve garbage reduction and resource recycling. Catering chains, supermarkets and agricultural product wholesale are also facing the rigid demand for upgrading environmentally friendly packaging. The application of this material not only enhances the image of corporate social responsibility, but also complies with local plastic restrictions and reduces regulatory risks.
3. Important support for food safety
Packaging is an important part of ensuring food safety. Fully biodegradable food plastic wrap not only prevents food moisture loss and contamination, but also its non-toxic and safe performance reduces the migration of harmful substances between food and packaging materials, meets increasingly stringent food safety standards, and helps food companies improve product quality and reputation.
4. Promote green upgrading of the industrial chain
With the continuous breakthroughs in bio-based material technology and the decline in production costs, biodegradable cling film has gradually become price competitive. The promotion and application of this product has promoted the green transformation of upstream and downstream industrial chains, including biomaterial suppliers, equipment manufacturers and terminal packaging companies, and promoted the sustainable development of the entire packaging industry.
