China's degradable plastics market is expected to usher in rapid growth
China's degradable plastics market is expected to usher in rapid growthThe invention and use of plastics have brought great convenience to people's daily life, but the problem of plastic pollution is becoming more and more serious.
Because non-degradable plastic wastes generally stay in nature for 200-400 years, and some can reach 500 years, It not only causes soil pollution, but also pollutes the air and water bodies, causing huge hidden dangers to environmental safety.
Therefore, the control of white pollution has become a hot spot of global concern
.
Degradable plastics refer to a class of plastics whose various properties can meet the requirements of use, the properties remain unchanged during the shelf life, and can be degraded into environmentally harmless substances under natural conditions after use.
Currently, degradable plastics It is mainly divided into photodegradable plastics, biodegradable plastics, light/oxidative/biodegradable plastics, carbon dioxide-based biodegradable plastics, and thermoplastic starch resin degradable plastics
.
In recent years, China has made breakthroughs in the research and development of degradable plastics, and the level of industrialization has been continuously improved.
With the acceleration of the construction of a green circular economy and the development of a sustainable economy in China, under the background of "carbon neutrality", China's degradable plastics market is expected to be ushered in rapid growth

Policies promote the rapid development of the degradable plastics industry
Policies promote the rapid development of the degradable plastics industry
The problem of plastic pollution control has always attracted the attention of the national environmental protection department.
In recent years, the state has issued a series of policies to solve the problem of plastic pollution prevention and control in China in a planned and step-by-step manner, and promote the research and development and application of degradable plastics in China.
In July 2020, the state The National Development and Reform Commission, together with nine departments, issued the "Notice on Solidly Promoting the Control of Plastic Pollution", making arrangements to further improve the work of plastic pollution control, especially the completion of the phased goals and tasks at the end of 2020, and clarify the prohibition and restriction of non-degradable plastic bags and disposable plastic tableware.
, policy boundaries and implementation requirements for disposable plastic products such as disposable plastic straws
.
After the National Development and Reform Commission issued the "Opinions on Further Strengthening the Control of Plastic Pollution", various provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions have successively introduced policies to ban plastics and limit plastics

China has huge space for degradable plastic replacement
China has huge space for degradable plastic replacement
China is the world's largest plastic consumer, with plastic consumption accounting for 15% of the world's total.
According to data released by Grand View Research, the size of China's plastic packaging market in 2019 was US$54.
1 billion, and it is expected that by 2025, China's plastic packaging market will reach 698 According to the calculation of the replacement rate of degradable plastics at 30%, it is estimated that the size of China's degradable plastics market will be about 20.
9 billion US dollars in 2025.
Overall, China's degradable plastics market has broad prospects and industry development can be expected
