How to choose degradable plastic tableware?

1. Check the manufacturer’s name, address, contact information, implementation standards, etc. (degradable plastics do not belong to the scope of licensed products, and there is no production license mark).

2. Check if the product is one-time use or repeated use. If single-use products are reused, some unknown risks may arise.

3. View the material. There are many types of degradable plastic materials, and some materials have special requirements. For example, PBAT materials must not be used to contact frozen foods and refrigerated foods, and PHB materials must not be used to contact ethanol-containing foods. –

4. Check the operating temperature (whether it can be used in microwave). Degradable plastics generally require a temperature of less than 100°C, and most of them cannot be heated by microwave. Some degradable plastics cannot be refrigerated or frozen (such as PBAT materials).

5. Check the type of food. Pay attention to whether there are special instructions not to contain certain special types of foods (such as acidic foods, alcohol-containing foods, oily foods, etc.).
