Degradable plastic bags are currently a product that has been pushed into the public eye after the national plastic ban. Compared with the original ordinary plastic bags, what are the advantages of degradable plastic bags? Let us take a look at the advantages of fully biodegradable plastic bags.

1. Alleviate land resources

In the history of mankind, plastic bags are too convenient and easy to use, so that people have been inseparable from plastic bags in their daily lives. The convenience and quickness of plastic bags has led people to forget that the original intention of plastic bags was not a disposable product, and they are often thrown away after one use. But many people don't know that the main raw material for producing plastic bags is polyethylene, which is very difficult to degrade. A large number of discarded plastic bags are buried in the ground, which will cause large areas of land to be occupied for a long time because of burying plastic bags. This is " White pollution". When the plastic bags people use are replaced by biodegradable plastic bags, this problem will be solved. Compared with the original polyethylene plastic bag, which is very difficult to degrade, it only takes a few months for degradable plastic bags to complete the degradation, which greatly alleviates the waste of land resources.

2. Reduce carbon emissions

Compared with traditional plastic bags, biodegradable plastic bags have one more thing to be praised, that is, carbon dioxide emissions. Degradable plastics release less carbon dioxide during the degradation process than traditional plastics, because degradable plastic bags are not made of polyethylene, and they release about 2 kg less carbon dioxide than traditional plastics.

3. Reduce energy consumption

Compostable plastic bags use almost half as much fossil fuel as plastic bags do in the production process. For example, if all plastic products in the world are replaced with biodegradable plastic bags in one year, almost 1.3 billion barrels of fossil fuels can be saved in this year, which almost accounts for a part of the global fossil fuel consumption.

Plastic bags may be a "necessity" in people's daily life, but biodegradable plastic bags can turn them into alternatives. In order to make the environment more pleasant, biodegradable plastic bags are essential.
