Overview of the hottest degradable plastic industr

The degradable plastic 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 degradable plastics industry chain are distributed in Shandong, Anhui, Guangdong, Jiangsu and other regions, but at present, the production scale of enterprises is generally small, and the market concentration needs to be improved

overview of degradable plastics industry chain: PLA and PBAT are the main development parties of degradable materials in the future. The shape and size are shown in Figure 4. The upstream of the

degradable plastics industry chain is the production of raw materials. According to the classification of raw material sources, 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., while petroleum based plastics (such as PBAT, PCL, PBS, PGA, etc.) are formed with petrochemical products as monomers

the middle reaches of the degradable plastic industry chain is the production of degradable plastic products. Degradable plastic products include disposable tableware. First, since there is no cheaper component B to participate in the data tension machine, the materials that can be inspected include: rubber, plastic, wire and cable, optical fiber and cable, safety belt, safety belt secondary plastic bag, packaging paper, clothing, agricultural film, 3D printing materials, pharmaceutical materials, etc

the downstream of the industrial chain is the application of degradable plastics, involving fields such as packaging, electronics, automobile transportation, consumer goods, textiles, agriculture, coatings, 3D printing, modern medicine, building construction, etc

in recent years, developed countries and regions such as Europe, the United States and Japan have successively formulated and issued relevant laws and regulations to restrict the use of non degradable plastics through local bans, restrictions, compulsory collection and collection of pollution taxes, and vigorously develop fully biodegradable new materials to protect the environment and 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 coming period, 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 products can be degraded into carbon dioxide and water, which will not have an impact on the environment

pla also has reliable biosafety, biodegradability, good mechanical properties and easy processing. It is widely used in packaging, textile industry, agricultural film and biomedical polymer industries

PBAT is a thermoplastic degradable plastic, which has good ductility and elongation at break, as well as good heat resistance and impact properties. Due to its good film-forming performance and easy film blowing, PBAT is widely used in the field of disposable packaging film and agricultural film. PBAT has flexible oil operation, lower cost of base materials, more mature technical engineering and less investment intensity. Combined with the nature, application field and production cost of PBAT, it is expected to become the largest degradable plastic category in the future

at present, the representative enterprises producing PLA and PBAT in China include Jinfa technology, Jindan technology, COFCO technology, wangjinglong, Huaxin new material, Guanghua Weiye, Fengyuan Group, Haizheng biology, Tianren biology, tongjieliang biology, Hengli petrochemical, Tongcheng new material, Yifan medicine, Ruifeng high material, Wanhua chemical, Lanshan Tunhe, etc

regional heat map of degradable plastic industry chain: at present, the production scale of enterprises is generally small, and the market concentration needs to be improved.

from the regional distribution of representative enterprises in the degradable plastic industry chain, representative enterprises in China's degradable plastic industry chain are distributed in Shandong, Anhui, Guangdong, Jiangsu and other regions, but at present, the production scale of enterprises is generally small, and the market concentration needs to be improved

biodegradable plastics industry is an emerging industry. As the investment in the construction of this technology reaches at least a certain scale, profits can be generated. The financial strength of small and medium-sized enterprises is limited, and they cannot achieve scale cost-effectiveness and market promotion. The product cost is too high to be popularized and applied in China. At present, the production scale of domestic enterprises is generally small, and the market concentration needs to be improved

at present, the enterprises with strong production strength in China's degradable plastics industry chain include Jinfa technology, Jindan technology, Hengli petrochemical, Hengyi petrochemical, wangjinglong, Rongsheng petrochemical, Huafeng Chemical, COFCO technology, water, Huaxin new materials, Guanghua Weiye, Fengyuan Group, Haizheng biology, Tongcheng new materials, Yifan medicine, Danhua technology, Ruifeng high materials, Prince new materials, Yutong technology, Guoen shares, Tian shares *St Zhaoxin et al
