The use of carbon dioxide to produce degradable plastics has always been a dream, but now this dream may have chance. Taizhou State Plastics Co., Ltd. will pilot the use of carbon dioxide to produce degradable plastics, which are expected to degrade in a matter of days, reduce the amount of waste plastics, and promote the regeneration of plastics.
"Like art, life comes from the fact that Bangsu's biodegradable plastics are inspired by the environment." Zhao Yunchao, founder and general manager of the company, described the reasons for the birth of Bangsu. Every time he saw the discarded plastic garbage, he heard that the plastic of the landfill had been dioxins after being burned due to non-degradability, which seriously affected the environment. He wondered whether there was a new plastic to replace the existing ones. What about plastic products made of petroleum?
Bangshou Phase I covers an area of ​​60 acres and was completed and put into production in February 2009. The annual production capacity of 30,000 tons of bio-based carbon dioxide-based degradable plastics production lines has cost 230 million yuan. All of them are high-tech, three-dimensional, and consist of machines. Manipulation, automatic production.
From catalysis, polymerization, decomposition to baking, each process is fully automatic and closed. The reporter saw all kinds of transmission pipelines in the factory area, making it difficult for the workers to appear. According to reports, the company with a monthly output value of tens of millions, industry, and research and development team, only more than 60 people.
Because of the investment in high-tech equipment and the construction of non-polluted plant areas, the cost of producing plastics is as high as 3,000 yuan per ton, which makes them develop various types of plastic products, such as plastic bags, paper cups, lunch boxes, etc., at prices higher than ordinary plastic products. .
Although plastic products produced by Bangsu are superior to ordinary plastic products in terms of biodegradability and food safety, due to their high R&D costs, they are generally more expensive than similar products, and so far it has been difficult to attract consumers or companies to adopt them in large quantities. plastic products. It is believed that until the technology for the production of degradable plastics from carbon dioxide is mature and production costs can be reduced, more companies can be attracted to produce degradable plastics and use degradable plastic products.
