Biodegradable PBAT Granule

Product Description

Question: What is Biodegradable PBAT Granule?

PBAT (Polybutylene Adipate Terephthalate), which stands for Polybutylene Terephthalate, was developed to address the environmental pollution caused by conventional plastics, and is an extremely biodegradable material, with products made from PBAT breaking down easily with the help of natural microorganisms and bacteria.

Question: What is the background of PBAT research?

PET (polyethylene terephthalate) is one of the main plastics used in this market. It is commonly used in bottles, as it can be made into very light and rigid containers. However, due to its stability, PET is highly resistant to biodegradation, as it can cause serious environmental problems. It is estimated that 30% of global PET production is used to dry manufacture these plastic bottles, and only 15% to 35% ends up being recycled; the rest usually ends up in landfills - which has spurred research into polymers that are functionally equivalent to PET but are biodegradable. Conventional plastic pollution has contributed to the development of Biodegradable PBAT Granule.
