Biodegradable cling film is a food packaging material made of biodegradable materials, which not only can effectively extend the food preservation period, but also can be rapidly decomposed into harmless substances such as carbon dioxide and water through the action of microorganisms in nature after use, which greatly reduces the impact on the environment.
Features
- Environmental friendliness
- Easily degradable: Compared with traditional cling film made of ordinary PE (polyethylene) or PVC (polyvinyl chloride), biodegradable cling film can be completely decomposed by bacteria or other microorganisms in the soil in a shorter period of time.
- Reduced pollution: Its production process usually uses natural raw materials such as corn starch, bagasse and other plant-based materials, which reduces the need for fossil fuel resources, and the end product does not impose an additional burden on the land.
- Functionality
- Breathability: It can regulate the internal oxygen content to maintain the freshness of fruits and vegetables while avoiding the quality degradation caused by over-breathing.
- Anti-bacterial and anti-mold: Some products are added with specific ingredients to inhibit the growth of harmful microorganisms, which further improves food safety.
- Economic Benefits
- Controllable Costs: Although the initial investment may be slightly higher than that of traditional plastic films, the overall economic benefits are more significant in the long run due to its good performance and positive impact on the environment.
Applications
- Food Packaging
- It is mainly used in the short-term storage and transportation of fresh food, such as vegetables, fruits, meat and seafood, which not only ensures the freshness of the goods but also reduces the phenomenon of waste.
- Widely used in supermarkets, convenience stores and other retail places, easy for consumers to check the quality of products when shopping.
- Healthcare
- It can be used for the outer packaging of medical devices, drugs and other items to ensure that they are not subject to deterioration and failure during the storage period due to the interference of external factors.
- For single-use medical supplies, the choice of biodegradable materials is also conducive to reducing the pressure on hospital waste disposal.
- Other Fields
- In agriculture, it can be used as mulch to promote crop growth and avoid soil condensation; in industry, it can be used for special occasions, such as the protection of electronic components.
