The definition of biodegradation includes four definitions: soil degradable, compostable degradable, marine environmental degradable and freshwater environmental degradable. As the name suggests, there are different biodegradable plastics for different environments.

Soil-degradable

Under soil landfill conditions, it can be finally decomposed into simple compounds such as carbon dioxide (CO2) or/and methane (CH4), water (H2O), mineralized inorganic salts of elements contained in them, and a property of biological dead bodies.

Composting-degradable

Under composting conditions, it can be finally decomposed into simple compounds such as carbon dioxide (CO2) or/and methane (CH4), water (H2O), mineralized inorganic salts of elements contained in them, and a property of biological dead bodies.

Degradation of the marine environment

In marine environments (such as sediment interfaces, sediments, other actual field conditions and their laboratory mesophilic simulation conditions, etc.), materials can eventually be decomposed into carbon dioxide (CO2) or/and methane (CH4), water (H2O) A property of simple compounds such as simple compounds and mineralized inorganic salts of elements contained in them, and biological dead bodies.

freshwater environment-degradable

In a freshwater environment (such as rivers, lakes, and simulated water-based culture fluids, etc.), materials can eventually be decomposed into simple compounds such as carbon dioxide (CO2) or/and methane (CH4), water (H2O), and mineralized inorganic elements. A property of salt, a dead body.

In fact, most of the biodegradable plastics currently in use are compostable and degradable plastics, which means that biodegradable plastic products cannot be discarded casually after use, and degradation is also necessary. However, in the natural environment, it is difficult to achieve this degradation condition, and it is necessary to create conditions artificially. While vigorously developing biodegradable plastics, it also requires the follow-up of supporting facilities.

And we, in daily life, should also pay attention to garbage classification after using degradable plastic products, so that the follow-up treatment can be simpler and more efficient, so as to achieve real green environmental protection!
