In seeking to replace non-degradable plastic products to solve the problem of plastic waste pollution, biodegradable starch plastic obtained from starch-based raw materials has been rapidly developed due to its degradable, wide-ranging raw material sources, low cost, and renewable, and its output has been It accounts for more than 70% of the degraded plastics production, and it has attracted people's attention and welcome.


From the current situation, the most commonly used degradable plastics are still on traditional plastic products such as packaging supplies and disposable household products. Also worthy of the development of the market is a variety of daily necessities, stationery, toys, civil engineering supplies and medical plastic products. Because there are few people in these fields, the market demand is large, and the added value is high. In particular, at present, China has begun to vigorously implement desertification management, barren trees and grass, urban planning, and various types of slope protection and soil consolidation projects. The use of plastic products will greatly increase, which is a good opportunity for degradation of plastics.


Price, the current price of starch plastic than ordinary plastic prices, starch resin masterbatch's price is about 7500 yuan / ton, the international market at 1200 US dollars / ton, mixed products obtained after the price is lower than ordinary plastic products More than 15%. However, degradable plastics, in addition to some policy-requested areas such as shopping bags, disposable tableware, etc., are rarely used in other places, and the added value of degradable plastics used in the agricultural field is not high, and the profit space is no more than daily necessities, packaging materials, and civil engineering. The cost-effectiveness and added value of degradable plastics used in these types of products and medical plastic products are very high. In particular, the profits of medical products are between 100% and 200% or even higher. Among these emerging applications, thin-walled products are relatively few, and most are very thick products, such as geonets, water-holding substrates, toys, stationery, infusion tubes, infusion bags, and disposable syringes.


Unlike the preparation of thin-walled products, these uses and properties of degradable plastics do not have the disadvantage of increasing the thickness to compensate for the use of performance, so compared to the low cost, generally less than ordinary plastic about 15% to 20%, if the starch content increases or With all-starch thermoplastics, the cost is cheaper and cost-effective. The current production cost of high-starch products is about 5,000 yuan/ton, and the processing cost of full-starch thermoplastic products can be reduced to 5,000 yuan/ton or less. This shows that the price advantage is relatively obvious.


In addition, in these new areas, there is little competition for degradable plastics within the industry, as there are not many companies currently entering the field, and they are still concentrated in the packaging and agriculture sectors. The competition faced by products is mainly competition with common plastic products. Such competition is affected by factors such as price, product performance, policies, and people's cognition. The first three factors will be conducive to the development of degradable plastics in these areas and will promote a new industry with high added value.


Now, the United States, Japan, Germany, and other countries are vigorously developing new environmentally friendly materials, degradable plastics. It not only can solve "white pollution", but also can reduce dependence on petroleum and save oil resources. It also opens up new application and value-added approaches for corn starch, and provides new opportunities for rural industrial restructuring and development of agricultural economy.
