Biodegradable plastic tube packaging is a new type of packaging material that is beneficial to the environment. Our company has been engaged in the tube packaging industry for more than 15 years and has rich manufacturing experience. Here are some of the advantages of biodegradable plastics:
1. Biodegradable plastics are broken down by naturally occurring bacteria
After the plastic is formed, the traditional product will preserve its carbon. When you dispose of them, they start to break down in some way, and then the gas is released into the atmosphere. Because biodegradable plastics don’t always require CO2 during the manufacturing process, greenhouse gas emissions may never occur during the decomposition process. As they begin to break down in the environment, bacteria in the soil begin to consume these components. That way we have less trash to manage and less potential for contamination per biome.
2. Biodegradable plastics do not release other dangerous substances after decomposing
If you throw a bucket full of traditional plastic into a landfill, you’re releasing methane and other forms of pollutants as the product begins to break down. Since there are usually no biodegradable items for these pollutants, we are able to enjoy the immediate benefit of no hazardous emissions.
Plastics make our lives easier in many ways, but they can also contain potentially dangerous products that can also harm our health. Bisphenol A (BPA) is a key ingredient in resin and plastic manufacturing. In the past, the substance was used in plastic cutlery, water bottles and sports equipment. Phthalates soften plastic and are often added to PVC. Both are considered endocrine disruptors and are harmful to the human reproductive cycle. Biodegradables eliminate the use of these substances.
3. Biodegradable plastics use less energy in the manufacturing cycle
Although biodegradable plastics cost slightly more in the production cycle, we actually consume less energy. With this technology, we no longer need to find, obtain and convert hydrocarbons to make plastic items. This means we burn less fossil fuels, consume less fossil fuels in the manufacturing process, and release fewer pollutants. Because of this energy saving, the long-term cost of using biodegradable products may be lower than conventional plastics, especially if the clean-up cost of plastic pollution is added to the calculation.
4. Biodegradable plastics can decompose rapidly under certain circumstances
Bioplastics are generally degradable, which means they will decay into natural materials that will eventually mix harmlessly into the soil. When cornstarch molecules encounter water, they slowly absorb it, swelling up and breaking things down into smaller pieces. The natural bacteria in the compost container will then digest it, producing something good for the planet.
