PBAT is a biodegradable plastic. It refers to a kind of plastics degraded by microorganisms existing in nature, such as bacteria, molds (fungi) and algae. Ideal biodegradable plastic is a kind of polymer material with excellent performance, which can be completely decomposed by environmental microorganisms after being discarded, and finally be inorganic and become an integral part of carbon cycle in nature.
The main target markets of biodegradable plastics are plastic packaging film, agricultural film, disposable plastic bags and disposable plastic tableware. Compared with traditional plastic packaging materials, the cost of new degradable materials is slightly higher. However, with the enhancement of environmental awareness, people are willing to use new biodegradable materials with slightly higher prices for environmental protection. The enhancement of environmental awareness has brought great development opportunities to the biodegradable new material industry.
With the development of China's economy, the successful hosting of the Olympic Games, the World Expo and many other large-scale activities that shocked the world, the need for the protection of world cultural heritage and national scenic spots, the problem of environmental pollution caused by plastics has been paid more and more attention. Governments at all levels have listed the treatment of white pollution as one of their key tasks
