Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What are 'PLA', 'PBAT', and 'PBAST'?
A.
PLA, PBAT, and PBAST are all raw materials used in manufacturing biodegradable plastics.
All of them decompose through hydrolysis reactions and by microorganisms under composting conditions.
● PLA is a raw material made from starch
derived from sugarcane, corn, potatoes,
and other sources.
● PBAT is a biodegradable plastic
manufactured by synthesizing raw
materials extracted from petroleum, a
fossil fuel.
● PBAST is a biodegradable resin
developed through PROPAC Co., Ltd.'s
proprietary research technology.
Q. What is biodegradable bioplastic.
A.
● Biodegradable plastic is plastic that’s
designed to break up when exposed to
the presence of microorganisms.
It is generally made from plants (such as
corn or sugarcane) rather than fossil
fuels.
● The action of living organisms
decomposes the biodegradable plastic
into water, carbon dioxide, and biomass.
It makes a life cycle from plants to plastic
to soil, makes no ecological harm during
the process.

Q. How long does it take to compost.
A.
● Biodegradation means decomposition by
microorganisms under certain conditions.
Our products have achieved
biodegradation rates of 90% or higher
within 6 months at a temperature of
58±2℃, earning environmental label
certification according to the Korean
Industrial Standard <KS M ISO 14855-1>.
We also hold certifications from
the US BPI certification and
OK compost Industrial/HOME
both domestically and internationally.
For more information, please check our website: <https://en.pro-pac.co.kr/certification>
● Biodegradable plastic products
require biodegradation rate control
tailored to each product's
characteristics, such as agricultural
films that need to maintain
performance for a certain period
and disposable products that need
to decompose quickly.
Propac Co., Ltd. has solutions that
can control the biodegradation cycle
for each product.
