With the strengthening of the country's "plastic ban", the first industry affected by the "plastic ban" is undoubtedly the catering industry. Various traditional plastic straws and plastic lunch boxes will gradually withdraw from the market, and will be replaced by more environmentally friendly degradable straws and tableware. "Pulp moulding" tableware has therefore become the "new darling" of the market. The reason why the "new darling" here is quoted is that this type of product did not come into being because of the "plastic ban". In fact, such products in foreign markets have long been It is very popular, mainly in the European and American markets, especially in the European market. Due to the environmental awareness of Europeans inscribed in their bones, such products are loved by the public in Europe.

Features of Pulp Molding

The product uses virgin fiber pulp as raw material, and its raw materials come from a wide range, mainly wood pulp, bamboo pulp, straw pulp, sugarcane pulp and so on. Due to the wide source of raw materials and strong renewability such as bamboo pulp, straw pulp, sugarcane pulp, etc., the price is cheap and easily accepted by the market. In terms of strength, it is superior to other similar products, and has a large recycling value and is degradable. It is regarded as a green product.
