    What is degradable plastic? How can we tell whether we use degradable plastic products in our daily life? Recently, the China National Light Industry Federation issued the "Guidelines for the Classification and Labeling of Degradable Plastic Products" (trial)


    .


    Since degradable plastics have different degradation behaviors in soil, compost, ocean, fresh water (rivers, rivers, lakes) and other environments, according to different environmental conditions, degradable plastics are divided into: soil degradable plastics, compostable degradation (Including traditional compost and yard compostable) plastics, marine environment degradable plastics, freshwater environment degradable plastics, sludge anaerobic digestion degradable plastics, high solid anaerobic digestion degradable plastics


    .


    Heavy metal and specific element content

    That is to say, full biodegradation is not equivalent to 100% degradation

    At present, there are generally two sources of biodegradable plastics, one is bio-based, such as directly derived from biomass, such as potato and corn starch mixture; but some are also derived from fossil-based materials
    .


    So, how to tell whether the products used are degradable plastics? This requires degradable plastic to mark the horse! Degradable plastic signs are divided into text signs and graphic signs
