Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of film packaging technology, specifically relating to a biodegradable composite film for tableware packaging. Background Technology

[0002] With the booming development of the catering industry, the use of disposable tableware has increased dramatically, leading to increasingly prominent environmental pollution problems. Traditional disposable tableware packaging materials, such as polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), although possessing certain oil and water resistance, are non-biodegradable. Once stained with oil, they are difficult to clean and must be discarded, resulting not only in resource waste but also serious environmental pollution.

[0003] In recent years, polylactic acid (PLA), as a bio-based biodegradable polymer material, has received widespread attention. PLA is made from renewable plant resources (such as corn starch) through fermentation and polymerization reactions, exhibiting good biocompatibility and biodegradability. Its final degradation products are water and carbon dioxide, causing no secondary pollution to the environment. Furthermore, PLA possesses good water and oil repellency, allowing direct contact with acidic and oily foods, and is easy to clean after contact with oil. These characteristics make it one of the most promising polymers to replace traditional plastics. However, PLA also has some limitations. For example, PLA has poor flexibility and heat-sealing properties, which may reduce the customer experience when used alone and pose a risk of packaging breakage. In addition, the production process of PLA requires large quantities of grain crops such as corn, and the supply of these resources may be affected by harvest conditions and fluctuations in the international market. In practical applications, the degradation rate of PLA is also limited by environmental conditions, such as temperature, humidity, and microbial activity. While paper-based materials are biodegradable and have a good texture, their poor oil and water repellency makes them unsuitable for disposable tableware packaging. While polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT) film has good heat-sealing and degradation properties, its high haze and poor printability limit its application in the packaging field.

[0004] In conclusion, developing a high-quality tableware packaging material that combines biodegradability, oil and water resistance, heat sealing, and reusability is of great practical significance for solving the environmental pollution problems caused by current disposable tableware packaging and meeting the market's demand for environmentally friendly packaging.
