Abstract:

This paper introduced the latest development of biodegradable plastics industry in China and abroad as well as the applications of biodegradable plastics in fibers, daily expenses of membranes and bags, agricultural products and automobile industrial products. These biodegradable plastics included poly(lactic acid), polyhydroxyalknoates, poly(butylenes adipate?co?terephthalate), and poly(propylene carbonate). The present status of biodegradation detection methods and standards in China was analyzed in comparison with international standards. Moreover, the paper also reviewed the latest policies and rules in prohibition or limitation of the disposable products that are unrecyclable and easy to pollute the environments.
