    The biodegradable polymer PBAT is hitting the big time

    The perfect polymer—one that balances physical properties and environmental performance—doesn’t exist, but polybutylene adipate co-terephthalate (PBAT) comes closer than many. Producers of synthetic polymers have for decades failed to stop their products from ending up in landfills and oceans, and they are now under pressure to take responsibility. Many are redoubling efforts to boost recycling to fend off critics. Other firms are trying to tackle the waste problem by investing in biodegradable biobased plastics such as polylactic acid (PLA) and polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), hoping natural degradation will mitigate at least some of the waste. But both recycling and biopolymers face obstacles. Despite years...

    What are the PP industry policies in 2021 ?

    What are the policies related to the polypropylene industry in 2021? Looking back at the price trend during the year, the rise in the first half of the year came from the double resonance of the rise in crude oil and the extreme cold weather in the United States. In March, the first wave of rebounds was ushered in. The export window opened with the trend, and the domestic supply was in short supply. Pushed up, and the subsequent recovery of foreign installations suppressed the rise of polypropylene, and the performance in the second quarter was mediocre. In the second half of the year, the dual control of energy consumption and power rationing have
