The so-called degradable tableware is a new tableware product that can be decomposed into harmless substances under natural conditions through biochemical action. The original intention of the product design is to reduce pollution and protect the environment. Now the biodegradable tableware on the market can decompose into CO2. And water, its processing materials include natural materials and biodegradable plastics. Below we will explain in detail the two basic materials of biodegradable tableware.

The first is natural materials, including pulp, straw, starch and other materials. Paper cups are used a lot. There is no need to introduce them here. Through the role of additives, starch (including corn, sweet potatoes, cassava, potatoes, etc.) and plant fiber (Mainly corn and other straw fibers) processed tableware is commonly called starch tableware. The additives used in this tableware are also degradable. Under the action of microorganisms, these items are first decomposed into glucose, and then converted into CO2 and water. In order to protect the environment, the shortcomings of this tableware are also obvious, that is, it is easy to mold, and the waterproof performance needs to be improved, because the raw materials contain a lot of food crops, and the production cost is also high.

The second is degradable plastics. This product adds photosensitizers, starch and other materials to the plastic production process, so that most of them are degraded in the form of materials. As stated in the product structure, degradable plastic tableware does not have complete degradation. Ability, but the degradable components are decomposed under natural action, and the plastic part still exists, but it is broken down into fragments, this product should not be an environmentally friendly substitute.

Through the above introduction, it can be found that there are still many problems with degradable tableware that need to be solved. We hope that in the continuous improvement of scientific researchers, we can use the above-mentioned degradable tableware products that are environmentally friendly, healthy, and economical.
