China to Grow PBAT Production

---

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--In our daily life, it is common for people to use plastic bags to contain and transport goods. But decomposition of plastic bags is a problem, and the resulting "white pollution" has caused huge pressure on the environment.

On June 1, 2008, China implemented the nationwide "plastic restriction order," which prohibited the production, sale and use of plastic bags with a thickness less than 0.025 millimeters. The order also implemented a nationwide ban on retailers dispensing bags for free. In 2021, policy became stricter, with a plastics ban bringing a huge increase in market demand for degradable materials.

According to the Biodegradable Resin Branch of China Synthetic Resin Association, China's planned capacity of polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT), a biodegradable plastic, has reached 15 million tons through 2025.

Industrial Info is tracking 72 active PBAT projects, worth US$10.7 billion, across China. Subscribers to Industrial Info's Global Market Intelligence (GMI) Chemical Processing Project Database can click here for a full list of detailed project reports.
