Pulp tableware and plastic snack box dispute

How can it be called "green tableware"? Insiders pointed out that: non-toxic, tasteless, easily degradable, manufacturing, use and destruction process are pollution-free. In addition, hygiene, resistance to cold and heat, and mechanical strength are also major targets. However, at present, all companies in this industry have different starting points. Some manufacturers have made thin pulp and cutlery products in order to reduce costs. They have problems such as water leakage, air leakage, and oil leakage. The cost is higher than the replaced product, and the transition period is too long, which also hinders the promotion of pulp tableware. Many people mistakenly believe that the production of pulp tableware must cut down trees and destroy the ecological environment. The relevant technical personnel clarified that pulp molded tableware was made from plant fibers such as sugar cane and reed and wheat, rice, and starch as main raw materials through scrap, ingredients, forming, drying, shaping, disinfecting, and packaging processes. Pulp molded products production Because there is no special pulping process, a daily production line of 100,000 lunch boxes is generally not more than 30 tons, and can be recycled. Its energy design is mainly electric energy, and its product waste can also be immediately It is recycled and crushed and reused, so there is basically no "three wastes" discharge, and there is no environmental pollution in the entire production process. Moreover, the cost of product recovery is as low as 1,000 yuan per ton, which is equivalent to only one-third of foamed plastic tableware. With regard to statistical data, even if all the disposable cutlery in the market is replaced, the consumption of raw materials and other energy sources for pulp tableware production is less than one thousandth of that of the paper industry, and this poses no threat at all. The National Light Industry Bureau, the National Leading Group Office for Alternative Foamed Plastic Packaging for Convenience Foods, said that the production technology of China's alternative products is leading in the world, and many pulp molding products from many companies are now exported to the United States, Japan, and South Korea, Singapore, and often still in short supply. The relevant person of the Ministry of Science and Technology said: There are indeed some problems with green disposable tableware. However, after the development in recent years, the quality of pulp molded tableware has increased rapidly, and the cost has decreased significantly. The annual production capacity has reached 3 billion. To expedite the promotion of this systematic project involves both the selection and processing of physical materials and the improvement and self-discipline of people’s environmental awareness. It requires the joint efforts of government agencies, science and technology, industry and commerce, packaging, and the entire people, and the ultimate consumer-to-product Understanding is an important force for the progress of the industry.
