How do biodegradable materials help you reduce the cost of the product?

Biodegradable materials are lesser expensive compares with plastics because it goes directly to the ideal state of plastics want to achieve, it's not only means saved a lot of processes, experiment cost, and cost of labor but also saved a lot of time. Biodegradable materials help save the cost of products on two major aspects:

(1)Save the cost of the product itself. Thinking about the cost of removing BPA out of plastics, heavy metals out of plastics, and bad chemicals out of plastics, biodegradable materials is really cheap. What is the cost if you make petrochemical plastics degrade like paper and wood in a short period of time? The cost is high and will need a long period of time to do R&D, but biodegradable materials could go directly like paper and wood at a very cheap price. Also, microplastics are always a headache that has never been solved on all kinds of plastics since its invention, a lot of sea mammals died from microplastics, a lot of fish died from microplastics, and many microplastics even come into the human body, how you can solve it, what will be the cost? Plastics factories should ask their R&D department to estimate the cost of it, it should be an astronomical figure. But biodegradable materials' cost only counts the negligible number of a ton's price.

(2)Save all kinds of hidden costs especially related to social. Plastics have a huge environmental impact, which will force governments to spend a huge cost to remove environmental pollution and will spend a lot of funds to solve public health problems which were occurred from plastic pollution. Where does this money come from? It comes from factories, and all kinds of other companies, taxpayers, individuals. If this money could be saved, it can be used to help in education, and people who will in need, which will return increase the consumption capacity of a country, thus manufacturers who making products could have better sales. 

How do biodegradable materials help your business generate more sales?

Customers buy it not because the product has a cheaper price, but because they have the trust in the product and the seller. if you think your current product has the cheaper cost is an advantage, you're totally wrong. Because no matter how cheap your product's price, it's always the higher cost than the fake products price, that's why many end users always choose the higher price products if they afford to buy even though the products look similar.

If you’re a plastic factory, you would definitely want to know how biodegradable materials could help your business get more sales?

1, Biodegradable materials would definitely increase market trust in your brand, trust definitely means sales. Because customers trust you, they would choose your product even though they could find a similar product in the market that has a lower price than yours. Why? Because when you replace the plastics with biodegradable materials you’re telling your customers you’re social care, you’re socially responsible, you won’t sell products for profit if they cause harm to the human body and environmental pollution. This ethically differentiated your business with others, because you have higher morality, you’re lesser likely to cheat others, ( the business that has low morality would sell products at a cheaper cost but a lot of cheating ) that’s why customers would prefer to buy from you.

2, Biodegradable materials would definitely give your customers more trust in the product. Many people said plastics have no harm to the human body is lying, but if you say biodegradable materials have no harm to the human body is honest. Let’s compare them below:

(a) Biodegradable materials are coming from food resources such as corn, seaweed, cassava, etc. They’re renewable and food-safe, surely have no harm to the human body. But plastics, have a lot of bad chemicals and heavy metals they could cause people to have a lot of illnesses, plastic manufacturers especially those making food boxes, juice bottles, flexible packages are making a small profit from selling their product, but people who use it will spend millions of dollars to save them from the illness caused by the plastic products. (from this, you can see why factories replace the plastics with biodegradable materials have higher morality)

(b) Biodegradable materials will return to nature by degrading into water and carbon dioxide, purely no pollution to the environment. However, plastics not only will cause a long period of pollution to the environment but also will disintegrate into microplastics, release bad chemicals and heavy metals into the soil to damage our ecosystem, far more than that, those bad elements will continue in the ecological cycle, for example, heavy metals and microplastics may be absorbed by plants, animals, fishes, birds, they will return to our food to cause a lot of harm to the human body again.

What is the advantage of plastic replaceable biodegradable materials over paper and wood?

Plastic replaceable biodegradable is used to replace plastics on all of its roles, which is a great way to avoid plastic pollution and the health impact to the human body of microplastics.

Factories that have conscience should replace the plastic raw materials with plastic replaceable biodegradable materials to stop conduct further environmental pollution and potential human health harm to their consumers. It's not about profit, is about social responsibility and business ethics. Some consumers don't know biodegradable materials, because plastics have existed for a hundred years, but biodegradable materials are still new or just invented, so you won't expect your consumers to ask you "do you have biodegradable products?", but sure they will ask you when biodegradable products are more popular which give them a sense of mind that biodegradable products are more eco-friendly. So what? if you have biodegradable products in your showroom they would definitely prefer it over plastics if they see it. if you have biodegradable products for sale, they would definitely buy.

Advantages of plastic replaceable biodegradable materials over paper and wood:

1, paper and wood may go moldy, but products produced from biodegradable materials won't. Products such as dishes, containers, and eating utensils, if they go moldy, will be bad for health.

2, Paper would be mostly used to produce disposable products, but biodegradable materials could be used to produce disposable and non-disposable products. Sometimes, the paper would need a layer of plastic film to protect it from water, but products produced from biodegradable materials is the direct replacement of plastics, thus it can be used to contain water.

3, Make a product from wood generally has a higher cost than the direct production of plastics. However, replacing the plastics masterbatches with biodegradable materials is only the cost of raw material difference, the finished product still has a lower cost than the product made from wood.

4, Wood and paper can't make flexible items similar as plastic film and plastic bags, but biodegradable materials can, which can produce the same as plastic film and plastic bags but with better smell, feels more comfortable, can contain water, food, oil, detergent, and many chemicals.

5, Wood and paper can't produce clear transparent items, but biodegradable materials can, which can produce high transparent items comparable to glass. Can be used to produce many medical utilized products, which would surpass plastics considering there will have no bad chemicals leeched to the liquid it contains.

6, Wood and paper do not have a good colorability as biodegradable materials. Biodegradable materials have the same coloring process as plastics, which decides biodegradable materials can produce any kind of color same as plastics.
