starch-based biodegradable material

The current development trend and market prospects of biodegradable plastic sheets, particularly within developed countries in Europe and America, indicate a positive and growing trajectory. In these regions, stringent environmental regulations coupled with a rising consumer awareness about the impact of non-degradable plastics on ecosystems, have propelled the market for biodegradable composites. The drive towards a more sustainable future is evident in the increasing investment by these countries in eco-friendly alternatives, and biodegradable plastic sheets are at the forefront of this shift.

Some starch-based biodegradable materials such as PLA SHEET are currently being used more and more, and their prices are gradually decreasing, and they are expected to gradually replace traditional plastics.

Biodegradable plastic sheets are now integral to various industries, with particular emphasis on their application in the food and pharmaceutical sectors. For example, these versatile materials are widely utilized in thermoforming processes to create environmentally friendly packaging solutions. Thermoforming, being a pivotal manufacturing method where a plastic sheet is heated and molded into a desired shape, has traditionally relied on a range of plastics. However, with the advent of biodegradable options, the industry is witnessing a significant shift towards sustainability.

Another instance of specific application can be seen in the food industry, especially in the packaging of perishables and ready-made meals. The use of biodegradable sheets in vacuum-sealed packaging or as a part of modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) techniques extends the shelf life of products while reducing reliance on conventional and environmentally harmful plastics.
