As energy prices rise and environmental issues become more and more emphasized, the pace of degradable biomaterials replacing traditional petroleum products in the world is accelerating. The government is expected to issue corresponding preferential policies and laws and regulations to encourage market applications. The large-scale use of biodegradable materials The prospect of large-scale application is optimistic. Next, let's take a look at what materials are included in biodegradable materials.

Biodegradable materials include polymer materials directly produced by biotechnology, such as polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) and other raw materials produced by biotechnology, such as polylactic acid (PLA), polybutylene succinate (PBS), Polyamino acids, etc., as well as starch-based biodegradable plastics, carbon dioxide copolymer aliphatic polycarbonate (APC), etc.

Starch-based biodegradable plastics are plastic products made by mixing starch with other polymers after modification and branch reaction. It can replace ordinary plastics in industry as packaging materials, shockproof materials, films, food containers, toys, etc.

PLA is a polymer material produced by polymerization of lactic acid as a raw material. It has the characteristics of non-toxic, non-irritating, high strength, easy processing and excellent biocompatibility. The product can be completely decomposed after use, so PLA is truly ecological. It is a bio-environmental protection material with double effects of economic and economical, and it is the most active and fastest-growing biodegradable plastic in recent years.

Polybutylene succinate is obtained by the contraction of succinic acid and butanediol. It is currently recognized as the biodegradable plastic with the best comprehensive performance in the world. PBS has excellent comprehensive performance, reasonable cost performance and wide application. It can be used in packaging, tableware, cosmetic bottles and medicine bottles, disposable medical supplies, agricultural films, pesticide and fertilizer slow-release materials, biomedical polymer materials and other fields.

Hydroxy fatty acid esters are natural polymer polyesters, which are intracellular polyesters synthesized by many bacteria under specific conditions. It has been found that more than 90 kinds of bacteria can synthesize more than 150 kinds of PHA with different structures. Currently commercialized PHA products mainly include polyhydroxybutyric acid, copolymer of hydroxybutyric acid and hydroxyvaleric acid (PHBV) and copolymer of hydroxybutyric acid and hydroxycaproic acid (PHBHx).
