6+1+1

Shanlian’s 6+1+1 framework brings six design dimensions together with process compatibility and degradation evaluation. It connects material source, manufacture, use and end-of-life within one development process.

Manufacturing
Energy & carbon
Antibacterial evaluation
Disposal routes
Properties & reuse
Environmental release & degradation

+1 · Process compatibility+1 · Degradation evaluation

Different routes. Product-specific decisions.

Compare grades and finished articles under the same use and disposal conditions. Selection depends on product requirements, processing route and end-of-life conditions.

Shanlian PMU

Material basis: Mineral–polymer composite
Processing route: Grade and forming-process adaptation
Product fit: Films, molded articles and packaging development
End-of-life evaluation: Specified thin-film sample: high-solids anaerobic test
Development focus: Mineral dispersion, process fit and product qualification

PLA

Material basis: Polylactic acid, commonly bio-based
Processing route: Grade-specific forming and modification
Product fit: Rigid, transparent and thermoformed products
End-of-life evaluation: Industrial composting is a common qualification route
Development focus: Article performance and available treatment infrastructure

PBAT / polyester blends

Material basis: Biodegradable polyester and blends
Processing route: Film extrusion and formulation design
Product fit: Flexible films and bags
End-of-life evaluation: Composting or soil routes depend on the certified grade and article
Development focus: Film properties and defined environmental conditions

Conventional plastics

Material basis: Established polymer families
Processing route: Mature, polymer-specific conversion routes
Product fit: Broad product range
End-of-life evaluation: Collection, reuse, recycling and disposal infrastructure
Development focus: Use-life performance and practical recovery systems
