Development history of biodegradable plastic bags

　　According to the European Bioplastics Association, the figures in 2001 show that the consumption of biodegradable products in the EU is 25000 to 30000 tons, while the consumption of traditional polymers is up to 35 million tons. The European Bioplastics Association predicts that the consumption of traditional polymers will reach 55 million tons in 2010, while the consumption of biodegradable plastics will reach 500000 to 1 million tons. Biodegradable materials may eventually occupy 10% of the market share. Renewable resources will account for more than 90% of biodegradable materials.

　　According to the statistics of degradable plastics professional committee of China Plastics Association, the consumption of biodegradable materials in China in 2003 was about 15000 tons, including about 1000 tons of biodegradable polymers without starch. In 2005, there were about 30 enterprises engaged in biodegradable plastics, with a production capacity of 60,000 tons/year, an actual production of about 30,000 tons, a domestic market demand of about 50,000 tons, foreign imports of 10,000 tons and exports of 20,000 tons. It is estimated that the production capacity will reach about 250000 tons in 2010. For details, please refer to the Analysis Report on Prospective China's Biodegradable Plastics Industry in Depth Research and Investment Strategic Planning.

　　Some developed countries also use degradable disposable appliances under the guidance of circular economy.

　　In China, with the deepening understanding of degradable plastics, we have fully realized the strategic role of this material and its industry in China's sustainable development. The popularization and application of biodegradable plastics has been widely expected. The Chinese People's Congress passed the Renewable Energy Law (Draft) and the Solid Waste Law (Revised) in 2004, encouraging the use of renewable biomass energy and the promotion and application of degradable plastics. In the document No. 40 issued by the National Development and Reform Commission in 2005, it is also clear that the use and promotion of biodegradable plastics should be encouraged. In 2006, the National Development and Reform Commission launched a special fund project on promoting the development of biomass biodegradable materials.
