What factors will affect the price of biodegradable bags?

…

The price of biodegradable bags is influenced by various factors, as follows:

In terms of raw materials:

Types of raw materials: The prices of different biodegradable materials vary greatly. For example, the production process of polylactic acid (PLA) is complex and costly, and the biodegradable bags produced from it are relatively expensive; The price of adipic acid/polybutylene terephthalate (PBAT) is relatively moderate; The cost of starch based materials is relatively low, so the price of starch based biodegradable bags is also relatively cheap.

Raw material quality: The purity, performance, and other quality indicators of raw materials can also affect prices. The biodegradable bags produced from high-quality raw materials have better performance and correspondingly higher prices.

Raw material supply and demand relationship: If the market demand for a certain biodegradable material is high but the supply is relatively insufficient, its price will rise, leading to an increase in the cost of biodegradable bags. For example, the current production capacity of biodegradable materials cannot fully meet market demand, which has to some extent pushed up the prices of raw materials.

In terms of production technology:

Production equipment: The production of biodegradable bags requires specialized production equipment, which is expensive, and the advanced level of equipment can also affect production efficiency and product quality, thereby affecting prices. Advanced production equipment produces products with more stable quality, but the investment cost of the equipment will also be shared in the product price.

Production technology: Complex production techniques and processes require higher technological investment and labor costs, such as some special processing techniques, quality control technologies, etc., which will increase production costs and thus increase the price of biodegradable bags.

In terms of product specifications:

Size: Generally speaking, larger biodegradable bags require more raw materials and production costs will increase accordingly, so the price will be higher; And small-sized bags have lower costs and relatively cheaper prices.

Thickness: The thicker the bag, the more raw materials are required, and the production difficulty may increase, resulting in a higher price. Usually, "silk" is used to measure the thickness of a bag, and with each increase in thickness, the cost increases.

Other special requirements: If there are special requirements for the color, transparency, toughness, etc. of the bag, special additives or production processes need to be added during the production process, which will also increase costs and raise prices.
