Speaking of disposable tableware, we are no strangers. It often appears in our life. But there are many kinds of disposable tableware. How much do you know about it? Let's study together.

Plastic type
Disposable tableware made of plastic mainly includes PP polypropylene and PS polystyrene. PP is soft. Generally, the use temperature of PP disposable tableware is - 6 ° C to 120 ° C, so it is particularly suitable for hot dishes and hot rice. It can be heated in a microwave oven or even cooked in a steam cabinet. The temperature of disposable tableware made of modified PP can be controlled between - 18 ℃ and 110 ℃. The lunch box made of PP can not only be heated to 100 degrees, but also be refrigerated in the refrigerator.

On the contrary, PS disposable tableware starts to soften when the service temperature reaches 75 degrees, so it is not suitable for holding hot meals and dishes, but this material has certain low temperature performance, so it can hold ice cream.

Therefore, there will be such a problem. In order to reduce the cost, some businesses use PP as the box and PS as the box cover. However, consumers of this design must understand the difference between the two materials. The difference is, remember not to put them together in the microwave.

Paperboard type

Paperboard disposable tableware is made of 300-350 grams of bleached sulfuric acid wood pulp paperboard as raw materials, and through die-cutting bonding or die-cutting pressing, molding and other processes. In order to prevent oil or water leakage, paint the surface of tableware. However, the quality requirements of paperboard are higher, so the cost increases gradually.

Starch type

The edible fast food box with starch as the raw material, as the name suggests, is made by taking starch plants as the raw material and adding dietary fiber and other edible additives. It is made of biological compounding, calcium ion chelation and other technologies. It is composed of dense layer, internal waterproof layer, rubber mesh layer and external waterproof layer.

Degradable plastic lunch box
The raw material of this disposable dining box is degradable plastic. The so-called degradable plastic is to add a certain amount of additives in the plastic production process, such as photosensitizer, starch and other raw materials. In this way, after the degradable plastic products are used. After three months of exposure to the air, the entire shape can be broken into pieces, changing the environment at least visually.

There are many kinds of disposable tableware. We try to choose materials that are easy to decompose in our daily life, which can not only improve the awareness,but also create a beautiful home together.
