8 common questions about pulp molding disposable eco-friendly biodegradable tableware

Mar 8, 2025

1.Q: What are the ingredients and their respective ratios used in the disposable degradable lunch box?

A: Conventional lunch boxes are generally based on 70%-90% sugarcane fiber + 10%-30% bamboo pulp fiber. Different tableware will also adjust different fiber ratios according to the shape, angle, hardness and stiffness of the product. Of course, wheat straw, wheat straw, reed and other plant fibers will be added as needed. All made of plant fibers, without adding PP, PET and other chemical materials.

2.Q: How can the disposable pulp lunch box achieve the waterproof and oil-proof effect?

A: The pulp molded lunch box will add certain food-grade additives, general waterproofing agent: 1.0%-2.5%, oil-repellent agent: 0.5%-0.8%, to achieve the effect of waterproof and oil-proof. The test is generally 100 ℃ water, 120 ℃ oil, the test time is 30 minutes; special requirements can be done to extend the oil temperature test time.

3.Q: Do degradable disposable tableware products contain fluorine?

A: At present, most of the oil repellants in vegetable fiber tableware on the market are fluorine-containing, and tableware that is waterproof and not oil-proof is fluorine-free.

If the degradable tableware is required to be fluorine-free and waterproof and oil-proof, a better alternative at present is film coating. PBAT is currently the most widely used and used composite material in pulp molded environmentally friendly tableware.

The film-coated product can keep better heat preservation, reduce the heat dissipation through the pores of the molded product, and at the same time reduce the stickiness of food such as rice and dumplings, which can greatly reduce the use of water repellent and oil repellent.

4.Q: How long does it take for environmentally friendly pulp tableware to degrade completely?

A: In the absence of any industrial decomposing machine, it takes about 45-90 days for the pulp molded environmentally friendly tableware to be completely decomposed in the natural state of the landfill. harm.

After degradation, 82% of the ingredients are organic matter, which can be used as fertilizer for land use.

5.Q: Can disposable pulp tableware be microwaved and refrigerated? How much temperature can it reach?

A: The degradable pulp lunch box can be microwaved and oven baked without harmful chemicals, and the maximum temperature can reach 220℃.

It can be frozen and refrigerated in the refrigerator, and the freezing can reach minus 18 ℃.

6.Q: What type of product quality inspection standards does the pulp molded lunch box meet?

A: The biodegradable plant fiber lunch box conforms to the national quality inspection standards of "Pulp Moulded Tableware", the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the German New Food and Dietary Goods Act (LFGB), and other international standardized inspection standards.

7.Q: Can the logo be printed on the biodegradable lunch box?

A: The logo can be printed. The printed products are mostly the perimeter, bottom or top of the lunch box products. Products such as cups and bowls are mostly printed on the outside of the product, and curved surface printing is required. According to the printing equipment, it is divided into screen printing, pad printing and laser laser printing (jet printing). Printing products will increase product costs accordingly.

8.Q: Has the raw material used in the white degradable lunch box been bleached? What bleach to use?

A: The unbleached vegetable fiber pulp is yellowish and the fiber is relatively hard due to the small amount of lignin and colored impurities. The semi-bleached pulp contains a large amount of pentose polysaccharides, and the color is light yellow, commonly known as the true color. The fibers of bleached pulp are white, pure and soft, but due to the bleaching treatment, the fiber strength is lower than that of unbleached pulp. Bleach is generally bleached with hydrogen peroxide, not chlorine bleach!

What is the difference between biodegradable straws and ordinary plastic straws and paper straws

With the continuous development of plastic restriction and banning, the environmental pollution problem of disposable plastic products has gradually become prominent. Now, the emergence of biodegradable materials may effectively solve this problem.

Taking disposable straws as an example, disposable straws have undergone a process from traditional plastic straws, paper straws to biodegradable straws. So what is the difference between them?

Most of the traditional plastic straws are made of PP material, which is characterized by high temperature resistance, low price, transparent and odorless. Of course, the shortcomings are also obvious. According to statistics, the annual habitual use exceeds 10 billion, and plastic pollution has become its biggest hazard.

In terms of raw materials, paper straws are actually biodegradable straws. After all, paper itself is also biodegradable. Paper straws are slightly more expensive than traditional PP straws. The reason why they are gradually phased out is that they have poor taste, especially when they are soaked in liquid, they will become soft, which will seriously affect smoking.

Biodegradable straws generally refer to PLA straws, and some high-temperature resistant biodegradable straws also contain PBS. Both PLA and PBS are biodegradable raw materials, which effectively guarantees the degradation performance of the final product. The biodegradable straw not only meets the degradable performance, but also has almost the same taste as the PP straw. The only drawback is that it is too expensive.

Of course, based on various factors, PLA biodegradable straws have been widely recognized by everyone, and traditional PP straws and paper straws are gradually being phased out in the market. Author: Vsugla https://www.bilibili.com/read/cv12854714 Source: bilibili
