在全國環保意志抬頭後， 許多先進國家正限制使用或強制回收傳統塑膠，減低固體廢棄物對環境的衝擊，因此另一種新興材料「生物可分解性塑膠」於是誕生。生物可分解性塑膠在適當條件下能完全分解循環，以焚化、掩埋的方式對環境的影響也低於傳統塑膠產物，因此利用澱粉等原料制造塑膠被評估為解決環境問題的一項指針。
In the rise of the national environmental protection will of many advanced countries are restricting the use of mandatory recycling of traditional plastic, to reduce the impact of solid waste on the environment, another emerging material "biodegradable plastic" was born.Biodegradable plastics under appropriate conditions to complete decomposition cycle, by incineration, burying the way the environmental impact is also lower than the traditional plastic product, so the use of corn starch and other raw materials, manufacture of plastic are
assessed to be a pointer to solve environmental problems.
