The invention of plastic film has brought not only convenience but also environmental pollution to people. To use natural vegetable fiber is the mainly approach to solve the problem. In this paper, the waste cotton fiber was used as raw material and the cotton nonwoven sample was made through wet laying process, after strengthened by chitosan, degradable film was prepared. The performances of the film were characterized and analyzed by testing the strength, air permeability, moisture permeability and other indexes. The results showed that chitosan can be used as strengthening agent, the performances of the film strengthened were improved, and it was degradable.
