Summary:
Summary:The degradable plastics industry chain is mainly divided into three parts: design and key raw materials, degradable plastic products, and the application of degradable plastics
.
Among them, PLA and PBAT are the main development directions of degradable materials in the future
.
Representative enterprises in China's biodegradable plastics industry chain are located in Shandong, Anhui, Guangdong, Jiangsu and other regions, but the current production scale of enterprises is generally small, and the market concentration needs to be improved
.

Upstream
Upstream
The upstream of the degradable plastics industry chain is the production of raw materials.
According to the source of raw materials, the raw materials are roughly divided into bio-based plastics and petroleum-based plastics
.
Among them, the basic raw materials of bio-based plastics (such as starch-based plastics, PLA, PHA, etc.
) are renewable natural biomass resources such as starch (such as corn, potatoes, etc.
), plant straw, chitin,
etc.
Petroleum-based plastics (such as PBAT, PCL, PBS, PGA, etc.
) are formed from petrochemical products
.

Midstream
Midstream
The midstream of the degradable plastics industry chain is the production of degradable plastic products.
Degradable plastic products include disposable tableware, disposable plastic bags, wrapping paper, clothing, agricultural films, 3D printing materials, and medical materials
.
3.
Downstream
Downstream
The downstream of the industrial chain is the application of degradable plastics, which involves packaging, electronics, automotive & transportation, consumer goods, textiles, agriculture, coatings, 3D printing, modern medicine, architecture & construction,
etc.
In recent years, developed countries and regions such as Europe, the United States, and Japan have successively formulated and promulgated relevant regulations to restrict the use of non-degradable plastics through measures such as partial bans, restrictions, compulsory collection, and collection of pollution taxes, and vigorously develop new fully biodegradable materials.
, in order to protect the environment and protect the soil
.
From 2019 to 2020, many countries in Asia have also issued plastic restriction policies, including China, Pakistan, India, the Philippines, Thailand, Algeria and other countries.
In the future, the demand for biodegradable plastics in Asia will grow rapidly
.
PLA and PBAT are the main development directions of degradable materials in the future
.
PLA is one of the most common degradable plastics.
The production process is pollution-free, and the product can be degraded into carbon dioxide and water without any impact on the environment
.
PLA also has reliable biosafety, biodegradability, good mechanical properties and ease of processing, and is widely used in packaging, textile industry, agricultural mulching film and biomedical polymers and other industries
.
PBAT is a thermoplastic degradable plastic, which not only has good ductility and elongation at break, but also has good heat resistance and impact performance
.
Due to its good film-forming properties and easy film blowing, PBAT is widely used in the field of disposable packaging films and agricultural films
.
PBAT is less investment-intensive because of its lower cost of petroleum-based materials, more mature technical engineering, and lower investment intensity
.
Combined with the properties, application fields, and production costs of PBAT, it is expected to become the largest degradable plastic category in the future
.
At present, the representative companies producing PLA and PBAT in China include Kingfa Technology, Jindan Technology, COFCO Technology, Wangjinglong, Huaxin New Materials, Guanghua Weiye, Fengyuan Group, Hisun Bio, Tenren Bio, and Tongjie Liang Bio.
, Hengli Petrochemical, Red Avenue New Materials, Yifan Pharmaceutical, Ruifeng High-tech, Wanhua Chemical, Lanshan Tunhe,
etc.

.
The biodegradable plastics industry is an emerging industry.
Since the capital investment in the technology construction reaches at least a certain scale, profits can only be generated.
Small and medium-sized enterprises have limited financial strength and cannot achieve large-scale cost-effectiveness and market promotion efforts.
The product cost is too high.
It is difficult to popularize and apply in China.
At present, the production scale of domestic enterprises is generally small, and the market concentration needs to be improved
.
At present, companies with strong production strength in China's biodegradable plastics industry chain include Kingfa Technology, Jindan Technology, Hengli Petrochemical, Hengyi Petrochemical, Wangjinglong, Rongsheng Petrochemical, Huafeng Chemical, COFCO Technology, Walter Co.
