What is a Biodegradable compound & Its Applications?

Unrecycled plastic has become a major environmental issue over the years. To combat this issue, a biodegradable compound is an eco-friendly alternative. This compound is made from renewable resources and a unique modifier that gets degraded naturally in the environment over a period of time. From food packaging materials, electronics, medical supplies, to consumer goods, biodegradable compounds promote a circular economy and sustainability. 

What is a Biodegradable Compound? 

Bio-based compounds are derived from renewable resources. These compounds are compatible with biodegradable carriers like PBAT, PHA/PHB, PLA & PBS, enhancing performance, properties and stability of carrier resin systems. At Perfect Colourants & Plastics Pvt.Ltd, we firmly believe sustainability is more than just a term; it's a commitment to achieve a greener & safer plant for generations to come. As one of the most trusted biodegradable masterbatch manufacturers in India, we are committed to offering customer solutions that help reduce environmental impact, without compromising on quality and performance. Our biodegradable masterbatch aims to reduce plastic pollution and ecosystem harm. They are ideal for single-use products like packaging and reducing landfill waste. 

The Biodegradation Process of Bioplastics 

Products made from biodegradable compounds decompose naturally in the presence of microorganisms in the environment. The process of biodegradable plastics is quite similar to that of organic waste. However, it is crucial to note that every biodegradable compound may undergo a different biodegradation process. The process is influenced by the material's chemical nature and environmental conditions. 

Biodegradable Compound Applications 

  • Shopping Bags & Single-use Bags: Single-use bags intended to be used once can be made using biodegradable masterbatches. These bags can be composted after usage, reducing waste and the environmental impact. 
  • Packaging Films: Bio-based compound is also used for manufacturing packaging films for food & beverage, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and industrial packaging. The bio compostable masterbatch for food packaging products protects the packed products from moisture and oxygen, along with the added benefit of compostability. 
  • 3D Printing Material: The biodegradable compound is used as a filament in 3D printers. It allows to develop of 3D-printed objects and products in industries like medical supply, consumer products, packaging and other industries, promoting biodegradability and compostability. 
  • Disposable Cutlery: PCPPL’s range of biodegradable and compostable masterbatches is designed for disposable cutlery like plates, cups, spoons, containers & utensils. This is a great alternative for the food service business's waste reduction.
