【 Abstract 】 :
From the current overall trend of the plastic bag industry: traditional plastic bags can not meet the current development requirements of energy conservation and environmental protection, and degradable plastic bags are replacing traditional plastic bags to become a new development direction. At the same time, because of the most stringent "plastic ban", degradable plastic bags have officially entered people's attention.In fact, the environmentally friendly bags that we are concerned about are equivalent to degradable plastic bags, so what do we mean by degradable plastic bags?

From the current overall trend of the plastic bag industry: traditional plastic bags can not meet the current development requirements of energy conservation and environmental protection, and degradable plastic bags are replacing traditional plastic bags to become a new development direction. At the same time, because of the most stringent "plastic ban", degradable plastic bags have officially entered people's attention.
In fact, the environmentally friendly bags that we are concerned about are equivalent to degradable plastic bags, so what do we mean by degradable plastic bags? Professional flexible packaging manufacturing Goolien packaging to talk about.
According to the degradation mechanism of degradable plastic bags, degradable plastic bags can be divided into three types of plastic bags, such as photodegradation, biodegradation and water degradation.
Photodegradable plastic bags: the photosensitizer is mixed in the plastic, and the plastic gradually decomposes under the action of sunlight. However, the disadvantage is that the degradation time is affected by sunlight and the climate environment, so it cannot be controlled.
Biodegradable plastic bags: plastic that can be decomposed into low molecular compounds by microorganisms existing in nature, such as bacteria, mold and algae, under certain conditions. This kind of plastic is convenient for storage and transportation, and has a wide range of applications.
Water-degradable plastic bag: A plastic bag that can be dissolved in water because of the addition of water-absorbing substances.
Degradable plastic bags have their advantages over traditional plastic bags in performance, practicality, degradability and safety.
In terms of performance, degradable plastic bags can reach or exceed the performance of traditional plastic bags in some specific areas;
In practical terms, degradable plastic bags have similar application performance and hygiene performance with similar traditional plastics.
In terms of degradability, degradable plastic bags can be quickly degraded in the natural environment (specific microorganisms, temperature, humidity) after use, and become fragments or non-toxic gases that are easy to be used by the environment, reducing the impact on the environment.
In terms of safety, the substances generated or remaining in the degradation process of degradable plastic bags are harmless to the environment and will not affect the survival of humans and other organisms.
In the field of degradable plastic bags, Goolien packaging has formed a special film blowing machine for degradable raw materials, printing press, bag cutting machine, waste recycling granulator and a variety of degradable plastic bag production line. The products cover vest bag, garbage bag, hand bag, clothing bag, hardware bag, cosmetic bag, food bag, card bag, Gresin paper /PLA composite bag, etc., stable quality, high production efficiency, beautiful printing, moisture-proof, puncture proof, non-toxic, good sealing, good stretching, good texture, environmental protection.
