  Plastic bags are divided into two categories. One is biodegradable plastic bags, which is an environmentally friendly shopping bag that will not cause any pollution and harm to the environment; the other is non-degradable plastic bags, which is ordinary Shopping bag. Since non-degradable plastic bags can cause a lot of harm to the environment, people now prefer to use degradable shopping bags. As the country pays more and more attention to environmental protection, plastic bags that are used casually every day have caused serious problems and burdens on the environment.

  Biodegradable plastic
  Degradable plastics, also known as environmentally degradable plastics, refer to plastics that are easily degraded in the natural environment by adding a certain amount of additives during the production process to reduce their stability. With the development of science and technology, various materials that can replace traditional PE plastics appear, including PLA, PBA, PBS and other polymer materials. Can replace traditional PE plastic bags. Biodegradable environmental protection plastic bags have been widely used at present: the main application areas are agricultural mulch, various plastic packaging bags, garbage bags, shopping bags in shopping malls, and disposable tableware.
  
  Raw materials for biodegradable plastic bags
  Biodegradable plastic bags are also called biodegradable shopping bags. They are made of plant starch, corn meal and other materials extracted from plants. These raw materials will not cause any harm to the human body and the environment.
  The degradable shopping bag can be disposed of in a landfill. It only takes a period of time for the shopping bag to be degraded into biological particles, which are then absorbed by the soil. Degradable plastic bags will not only have no impact on the environment, but can also become fertilizers for plants and crops and promote plant growth.
  Therefore, the use of biodegradable shopping bags is now popular, and the use of non-biodegradable shopping bags is slowly decreasing. Non-degradable shopping bags will cause great harm to human health and ecological environment.
  
  The harm of non-degradable shopping bags
  The opposite of the degradable shopping bag is the non-degradable shopping bag. In fact, ordinary shopping bags can also be degraded, but it has been degraded for a very long time, as long as two hundred years. What's more, plastic bags are used in such a large amount in human society. If non-degradable plastic bags are used, the earth's ecological environment will become worse and worse.
  People do not have a good way to recycle shopping bag garbage, either burn it or landfill it. Non-degradable shopping bags will have an impact on the environment no matter how they are treated. For example, burning will give off an unpleasant smell and produce a lot of black ash; if it is disposed of by landfill, it will take the earth hundreds of years to decompose the plastic bag.
  
  Nowadays, the whole world is facing the problem of environmental pollution, so the market for biodegradable plastic bags is so vast that it covers almost every corner of the earth. From the overall trend, biodegradable plastic bags have gradually become a development trend. The increase in the price of plastic bags will encourage some people to use cloth bags for shopping. From this perspective, it is beneficial to the protection of the environment.
