Used primarily in biodegradable plastics and eco-friendly packaging materials due to its ability to break down under composting conditions. Commonly applied in agricultural films, mulch films, and disposable food containers where environmental degradation is desired. Also utilized in controlled-release formulations for agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, where the polymer matrix slowly degrades to release active ingredients. Its flexibility and film-forming properties make it suitable for coatings in paper and cardboard lamination, especially when recyclability or compostability is required. Increasingly adopted in 3D printing filaments designed for sustainable manufacturing.
