The noteworthy technological innovations in plastic degradation technology

Obviously, plastic Biodegradable technology is a topic that has been hotly debated in recent years.

In the history of human development, polymer materials have played a pivotal role, and plastics, rubber, fibers, and coatings have been an integral part of life. Plastics are very stable in nature, bringing convenience to life but also post-processing problems. Biodegradability of plastics is also a research direction in the market.

Biodegradable technology means that it can be completely degraded into carbon dioxide or/and methane, water (H2O) and mineralized inorganic salts of its elements by microorganisms present in nature under environmental conditions such as soil, seawater, freshwater, compost, etc.

It is also important to note that “biodegradable technology ” must be complete, not a plastic product that is converted into small particles that would otherwise cause environmental pollution. Some plastics are designed to degrade quickly, such as Oxo-Degradable Plastics, which may be less visible, but still exist as small plastic fragments. This type of degradation not only does not help reduce plastic pollution, but enhances the environment with small plastics.
