Health and environmental protection - using plant starch to make cutlery

Read Time:1 Minute, 40 Second

As we all know, in the current catering industry, disposable cutlery is often used for takeout and takeout. Disposable plastic cutlery is a plastic product made from polymers such as polystyrene, polypropylene and polyvinyl chloride. It has the characteristics of low toxicity, high melting point, strong plasticity, and simple production. It is an excellent material for manufacturing and using cheap disposable lunch boxes. However, long-term use of this disposable plastic cutlery will directly affect the human body, and it will take 200 years to degrade.

Studies have shown that long-term retention of plastic in fields will affect crops' water absorption and inhibit growth. If livestock ingest plastic, it can cause gastrointestinal illness and even death. Moreover, the foundation of the site filled with plastic is loose, causing bacteria to penetrate and pollute the environment. If these plastic lunch boxes are directly burned, secondary pollution will occur, which is a major environmental problem. After years of R&D efforts, Changzhou Corn Biobased Packaging has overcome key technical challenges.
