The status quo and development direction of environmentally friendly tableware.
Environmentally friendly tableware is a product concept put forward in recent years. Unlike family ceramic tableware, this product is mainly used for high-frequency use by catering companies to solve the problem of difficult cleaning of disinfection tableware and environmental pollution caused by many disposable tableware. So far, products including starch tableware, leaf tableware, and biodegradable plastics have also come out. So what is the status of these products? What needs to be improved in the future?
At present, the main problem of these environmentally friendly degradable tableware is that they are relatively harsh in terms of practicability and degradation conditions.
First of all, in terms of practicality, the degradable tableware on the market generally has problems such as insufficient water resistance and corrosion resistance. These products are usually soft in about half an hour when they are filled with hot water, which cannot meet people's dining needs, and in order to achieve the use effect , It is necessary to add waterproof additives. The safety of these additives is not guaranteed. At the same time, the production cost of environmentally friendly degradable tableware is relatively high. These costs will also be transferred to consumers and increase dining expenses.
The second is the degradation conditions. Many degradable materials have certain requirements for sunlight, temperature, humidity, etc. Otherwise, they will not be decomposed, which requires a special site for processing, which is also an aspect of increasing operating costs.
The above is also the reason why various environmentally-friendly degradable tableware is not popularized at present. Major manufacturers should continue to improve, so that it can meet the people's dining requirements and reduce production and processing costs as the development direction.
