What are the storage requirements for biodegradable plastic bags

2023-03-31

Under the call for environmental protectionism and the national policy of "relatively strict control orders", biodegradable plastic bags have received much attention and once occupied the hot spot of contracting the "plastic family". Many optimistic practitioners predict that the environmental protection characteristics and industry foresight of biodegradable plastic bags will bring rare improvements to plastic pollution. So, let's learn about the storage requirements for biodegradable plastic bags!

Due to its popularity and environmental protection, people are also beginning to pay attention to the quality and preservation of biodegradable plastic bags. Will the robustness and durability change over storage time after purchase?

Currently, one of the more common and widely used biodegradable plastic bags in the market is PLA degradable plastic bags. It is a new type of biodegradable material made from starch made from renewable plant resources such as corn. PLA has good biodegradability and is completely decomposed by natural microorganisms after use, then generates carbon dioxide and water, without polluting the environment. It is also very helpful for environmental protection, and is recognized as an environmentally friendly material. According to data, when the temperature is higher than 55, or under the action of oxygen enrichment and microorganisms, the biodegradable bags decompose into carbon dioxide and water within 6-12 months, which are reused by plants during photosynthesis.

The storage of degradable bags is greatly related to environmental conditions

When storing in the warehouse, please pay attention to maintaining dry and ventilated storage conditions to avoid direct sunlight. Unused decomposable garbage bags that can be stored for extended periods of time if they are well sealed should be carefully checked for tightness. Considering the humidity, temperature, and shelf life of the product stored in a degradable garbage bag, it is generally recommended to use the product within a better period of use.

Under natural conditions, the length of decomposition time is related to the decomposition environment and conditions. Under suitable conditions for microbial growth in natural conditions, natural polymers such as degradable garbage bags, paper, straw, and wood degrade slowly and have a relatively small impact. Biodegradable garbage bags made of PBAT materials can be completely degraded within 4-5 months in the early stages of use, but in actual use, some products cannot be completely degraded even when exposed to the air, and can also be degraded after landfilling. With data such as PHA and PBAT, these materials can be completely decomposed in seawater rich in microorganisms within about 30-60 days.

However, due to the performance properties of biodegradable plastic bags, the strength and softness of biodegradable plastic bags also deteriorate to a certain extent after being stored for 6-12 months in normal environments. Therefore, the storage time of degradable garbage bags is related to the packaging, storage environment, and product formula of the product.

The above introduction is about the storage requirements for biodegradable plastic bags, which are now very popular with the market and consumers. However, it is important to purchase a reasonable amount of biodegradable plastic bags, rather than purchasing and storing them in large quantities at once. Even if large quantities of goods need to be prepared, better storage conditions should be maintained. Only in this way is currently a better way to maintain the quality of biodegradable plastic bags.
