Fortunately there are many biodegradable and recyclable packaging material alternatives available. These include:

Paper and cardboard – paper and cardboard is reusable, recyclable and biodegradable. There are a number of advantages to this type of packaging product, not least the fact that they are readily available. Many packaging manufacturing companies offer an environmentally friendly option which has been created using a high proportion of recycled paper.

Corn starch – items made from corn starch are biodegradable and are ideal for items which have a limited use, such as takeaway food. They are good options for all types of food packaging and also make good packaging ‘peanuts’ to protect and support items when sent through the post. Corn starch packaging biodegrades and has a limited negative impact on the environment.

Biodegradable plastic – this is now commonly used in plastic bags and is also used in other items such as envelopes used for bulk mailing. This type of plastic starts to decompose when it is exposed to daylight and is a good alternative to traditional plastics.

Various degradable materials (photodegradation, biodegradation, oxygen degradation, photo / oxygen degradation, water degradation) and bio synthetic materials, straw, straw, shell filling, natural fiber filling materials, etc

Edible materials. The third is quasi green packaging materials, which can be recycled and incinerated, do not pollute the atmosphere and can be recycled. It includes some linear polymers, network polymer materials, some composite materials (plastic metal), (plastic plastic) and so on.

Polypropylene, corrugated paper, edible rice paper, corn paper, edible recycled fresh-keeping paper, as well as our daily paper packaging products, paper bags, paper cups, paper lunch boxes, etc. In a word, it can dissolve or polymerize all kinds of ecological degradable plastic products, packaging materials and raw materials. Degradable plastic packaging material refers to all kinds of plastic products and other packaging materials which are degraded by photosensitizer, biologically or chemically.
