Why We Need Biodegradable Fiber?
Biodegradable fiber is a material that can be broken down in the natural environment by microbial action. As global environmental problems increase, especially plastic pollution, biodegradable fibers are especially important as an environmentally friendly alternative. The use of biodegradable fibers helps to reduce the negative impact on the environment and reduces the pressure on landfills, while decreasing reliance on petrochemical resources.
How Biodegradable Fibers Work
Biodegradable fibers work by breaking down the organic components of the fiber into harmless substances such as carbon dioxide, methane and water through the action of microorganisms. Under high-solids anaerobic digestion conditions, the fiber material is exposed to a methane-producing inoculum derived from pre-treated household waste. Through the metabolic activity of microorganisms, the carbon in the fibers is gradually converted into gaseous carbon dioxide and methane, which ultimately leads to the degradation of the material. This process not only reduces the volume of waste, but also avoids the accumulation of hazardous substances and is environmentally friendly.
