Who will dominate the market for degradable plastics in the future?
Thread Content
Polylactic acid products and polycarbonate products will compete fiercely in the degradable plastic market in the future. There may be others, let’s discuss them.
Personal opinion, dominate and still* * .The high cost and high consumption of degradable plastics are the key constraints to development. If * * It can be done if we implement it ruthlessly, and then it will no longer be a problem of high cost. If not, the low cost of ordinary products has a considerable advantage, and who wants to lose money in business! :L
I think that for degradable polymers, whether they are petroleum-based or plant-based, they are inevitable. The performance of the basic products themselves has imperfections or partialities. However, I think the primary problem with current EDP products is that they can be properly degraded (note: It is appropriate. After all, for different degradable materials, the degree and method of degradation vary, but appropriateness means deep consideration.: The energy consumption and cost of input products are consistent with performance), otherwise it will deviate from the actual significance of degradable materials in replacing existing products. Approaching or pursuing the performance of existing pre-replacement products is currently a feasible and inevitable way. To put it harshly, * * There are a bunch of standards for plastic shopping bags with different raw materials and different processing methods, but the current regulations for degradable plastic shopping bags are only limited to thickness.
The price of degradable plastics itself is too high. How to be accepted by the market is the main issue for future development. Biodegradable plastics are not competitive with general plastics. Therefore, the first step is to make breakthroughs in production technology to reduce production costs.； Second, increase publicity efforts and obtain * * support and benefits. As for the competition between degradable plastics, polycarbonate has more advantages than PLA in terms of price. ； In terms of product performance, PLA has more advantages. Due to different product performance, different development and applicable fields, and different substitute products, comparison is still a bit difficult. o(∩_∩)o...
