Commentary
PBS has been produced from succinic acid and 1,4-butanediol, which are petrochemical raw materials. In recent years, succinic acid derived from plants has been produced, and PBS using this raw material has become mass-produced.
It is a biodegradable aliphatic polyester that is decomposed into water and carbon dioxide by microorganisms in the natural environment.
Key points
- It has similar properties to PE, and by changing theconventional paper cup +PEcoating (water resistance)toPBS, it is possible to take advantage of the biodegradability of paper.
- It is also compatible with other biodegradable plastics, and a synergistic effect can be achieved by blending them together.
