With population and economic growth, the consumption of plastic products and the demand for plastic packaging has surged, leading to the generation of large amounts of plastic waste. Particularly in the coastal areas of Africa, plastic litter has caused a growing fisheries and ecological crisis. In the northeastern Caribbean Sea, there are as many as 200,000 pieces of plastic per square kilometer of ocean, which in turn breaks down further into microplastics, posing a new pollution threat.
According to a report issued by the United Nations Joint Group of Experts on the Scientific Aspects of Marine Environmental Protection, sources of marine microplastics are mainly categorized into primary and secondary sources. Primary sources of marine microplastics include raw resin particles discharged into the marine environment during production and transportation, and plastic abrasive particles in personal care products and cleaning agents.
Microplastics of secondary origin are plastic fragments formed by the gradual breaking up or decomposition of plastic debris under the action of wind, waves, ultraviolet rays and organisms after it enters the marine environment. Of these, secondary sources are the main components of marine microplastics, which originate mainly from domestic garbage, poorly managed landfills, tourism and fishing activities.
We are dedicated to the professional production and processing of PLA fully biodegradable pellets, PBAT/starch-based biodegradable pellets, degradable plastic pellets, agricultural mulch film, plastic wrap, industrial packaging, agricultural packaging, food packaging, etc. Throughout the entire production process, we carry out rigorous testing at every step from raw material sourcing to the production of the final biodegradable plastic resins to ensure that we produce fully biodegradable TPS /PBAT and PLA resins are of high quality and can be customized according to customers' application background and needs.
