Fully Biodegradable Tableware

Rapid decomposition reduces pollution: Fully degradable tableware can decompose rapidly under natural environment or composting conditions. For example, tableware with plant starch as the main raw material can decompose into carbon dioxide and water in about 3 to 6 months in a composting environment. Compared with traditional plastic tableware, this has obvious advantages. Traditional plastic tableware may take hundreds of years to decompose, and harmful substances such as microplastics will be produced during the decomposition process, causing long-term pollution to soil and water.
Renewable raw materials help the ecology: The raw materials of fully degradable tableware mostly come from renewable resources such as bagasse and bamboo fiber. The use of these raw materials reduces the dependence on non-renewable petroleum resources. At the same time, during the growth process of raw materials (such as the planting of sugarcane and bamboo), carbon dioxide can also be absorbed, which plays a positive regulatory role in the ecosystem and helps achieve the goal of carbon emission reduction.

No release of harmful chemicals: Fully degradable tableware does not contain harmful chemicals such as bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalates. In the process of using traditional plastic tableware, especially when in contact with acidic or oily foods at high temperatures, these harmful substances may seep out and enter food, causing harm to human health, such as affecting the endocrine system and immune system. The natural materials used in fully degradable tableware, such as lignin and cellulose, will not release harmful substances under normal use conditions, ensuring the health of users.
Meet food safety standards: Fully degradable tableware meets strict food safety standards. Whether it is used to hold hot dishes, hot soup, cold food or cold drinks, it will not have a chemical reaction with food, nor will it change the taste and nutritional components of food, providing consumers with a safe and reassuring dining experience.

Sufficient strength and durability: Fully degradable tableware can meet daily use requirements in terms of strength and durability. For example, some plant fiber tableware processed by special techniques have good compression and bending resistance. During transportation or when stacked, it is not easy to be damaged and can protect food well. Moreover, during use, when picking up food with chopsticks or scooping up food with a spoon, the tableware will not break easily.
Good thermal stability: Some fully degradable tableware also has good thermal stability. Tableware made of polylactic acid (PLA) as raw material can withstand a certain temperature range. For example, it can withstand a temperature of about 100 - 120 °C. This enables them to be used to hold hot food such as hot coffee and hot soup without deformation or melting, and can also play a certain role in heat insulation to a certain extent.

Comply with environmental protection policies and regulations: With the enhancement of global environmental awareness, governments of various countries have successively introduced policies to restrict or prohibit the use of non-degradable disposable plastic products. As an environmentally friendly alternative, fully degradable tableware can help catering enterprises and takeout industries comply with relevant policies and regulations smoothly and avoid economic penalties and legal risks due to the use of non-environmentally friendly tableware.
Meet consumers' environmental protection needs: Consumers' environmental awareness is increasing day by day, and they are more and more inclined to choose green and sustainable products. The use of fully degradable tableware by catering enterprises can enhance brand image and attract more environmentally conscious consumers, thus occupying an advantageous position in market competition. At the same time, for some activities and places that pay attention to environmental protection (such as environmental protection themed restaurants and eco-tourism scenic spots), fully degradable tableware has become an essential choice.
