PLA Biodegradable material

South Korea's environment ministry said last Wednesday it will issue a 40-day notice on the implementation of the law on saving resources and promoting recycling from August 28, 2019, as well as an amendment to the regulation, which bans packaging materials that are difficult to recycle and requires labeling of material grades.

The amendment decided to ban the use of PVC at the source because if PVC is recycled with other synthetic resins, the strength of the product will be reduced and harmful substances such as hydrogen chloride will be released in the recycling process.

Taking 2017 as the benchmark, the 4,589 tons of PVC packaging materials sold in South Korea each year are mainly used for food cling film, transparent film for packaging and transparent containers.

South Korea's environment ministry is expected to allow only some medical and health functional foods that have no commercial substitutes and are directly related to diet and medical safety, such as normal temperature ham and sausage, moist meat and aquatic products, and plastic wrap made of PVC.
