Starch Based Biodegradable Plastic Bags

What are starch-based plastics?

Bioplastics can help manufacturing companies remain competitive by meeting growing consumer expectations for sustainability. They are typically derived from a variety of biomass sources, the most widely used being starch, a natural polymer that can be incorporated into a variety of materials. Starch-based plastics can be used in a variety of applications, as they can be combined with various petroleum-based polymers or biopolymers to form unique composites. These composites can then be injection molded or extruded using standard processing machinery.

In general, starch-based plastics are more cost competitive than alternative bioplastics. They can accommodate a wide range of physical properties that alternative bioplastics lack, such as tensile strength and heat resistance. Starch composites can also contain recycled plastics. Our team recommends the use of starch-based plastics when recycled plastics are required or when a customer needs a material with properties that cannot be demonstrated by alternative bio-based materials.

Environmental Benefits

Starch can be used to reduce the carbon footprint of traditional resins because they can replace petroleum-based polymers with natural ones. It is also highly degradable, meaning it can be used with compostable polymers without interfering with the degradation process.

Compostable resins degrade into organic matter under controlled conditions, turning into nutrient-rich compost that can nourish soil and plants

These resins align with the principles of a circular economy by promoting the creation, use, and regeneration of materials in a closed-loop system.

By facilitating the decomposition of products made from these resins, there's a significant reduction in waste accumulation in landfills and oceans.

These resins can be utilized in various industries, including packaging, agriculture, textiles, and consumer goods, offering versatile applications.

Biodegradable resins are primarily composed of organic materials such as cornstarch, sugarcane, or vegetable oils, making them biologically derived and sustainable.

As they're derived from renewable sources, biodegradable resins reduce our dependence on finite fossil fuel resources, contributing to a more sustainable future.

Biodegradable and compostable resins can often be processed using existing equipment, making their integration into current manufacturing systems feasible.

The production process for these resins often requires less energy compared to traditional plastics, contributing to lower carbon emissions.

Biodegradable resins are primarily composed of organic materials such as cornstarch, sugarcane, or vegetable

Biodegradable and compostable resins minimize soil, water, and air pollution by circumventing the accumulation of persistent plastic waste in ecosystems.

Their ability to break down naturally ensures that these materials won't persist in the environment for centuries, unlike traditional plastics.

These resins break down naturally into simpler, non-toxic components, significantly reducing their environmental impact compared to conventional plastics.

Starch Based Biodegradable Plastic Bags

Our Biodegradable Plastic Supermarket Bags are made from 100% biodegradable resin as raw material, which is plastic free, non-toxic and harmless.
Bury the used biodegradable plastic bags into the soil or into the microbial environment. After 3 months of composting, it can be 100% completely degraded into carbon dioxide and water, and become organic fertilizer without white pollution.
Our biodegradable plastic bags are waterproof and oilproof, and will not leak.
Biodegradable plastic bags have good toughness, softer handfeel and strong tensile properties. The blown film technology is close to LDPE, and the weighing capacity is more than 5-10 kilograms.
The shelf life of compostable bags can be up to 1-2 years.
Compostable plastic bags avoid the secondary separation of plastic products, greatly reducing the cost of labor, that is, economic, simple and cost reduction. At the same time effectively reduce the environmental pollution of plastic products!
