The emergence of biodegradable plastics is regarded as a good tool to deal with plastic pollution, especially to solve the environmental pollution problems of plastics such as disposable straws. "Auto-disappearing without treatment" is a general public perception or expectation of biodegradable plastics.Biodegradable straws
However, in November 2015, the United Nations Environment Programme published a report entitled “Biodegradable Plastics and Marine Litter: Misunderstandings, Concerns and Impacts on the Marine Environment”, calling for the elimination of misunderstandings caused by the labelling of “biodegradable plastics”. The widespread use of "biodegradable" labeled products will not significantly reduce the amount of plastic that enters the ocean, or reduce the physical and chemical risks that plastic poses to the ocean. Food plastic packaging marked as "degradable" or "100% degradable" is easily misunderstood by consumers, leading to increased purchase and disposal behaviors, which may exacerbate the problem of plastic pollution.

Are biobased plastics biodegradable?Biodegradable food bags
Not necessarily! Some bio-based plastics are biodegradable Trash bags, and some are not.
Biobased plastics refer to plastics produced under the action of microorganisms based on natural substances such as starch. Biomass used for bio-based plastic synthesis can be derived from corn, sugarcane or cellulose.
Biodegradable plastic refers to the action of microorganisms (such as bacteria, mold, Fungi, algae, etc.) cause degradation and eventually completely degrade into carbon dioxide, water, methane, mineralized mineral salts, and nascent materials.Biodegradable garbage bags
Can degradability be considered biodegradable?
No!
Degradation of plastic refers to the process of significant changes in structure and loss of performance under the influence of environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, moisture, oxygen, etc.). It can be divided into mechanical degradation, biodegradable, photodegradation, thermo-oxidative degradation and photo-oxidative degradation.
Whether plastic will be completely biodegraded is affected by many factors, including crystallinity, additives, microorganisms, temperature, humidity, ambient pH and time. In the absence of conditions, many degradable plastics are not only unable to achieve complete biodegradation, but may also have a negative impact on the environment and human health. For example, under the action of additives, partial oxygen-degradable plastics only fragment the materials and degrade into plastic particles that are invisible to the naked eye. This is more harmful to the global environment, and eventually enters the human body through natural circulation, causing harm to all humanity.Garbage bags
