At present, the commonly used degradable food packaging materials on the market are starch materials, PLA materials, plant fibers, paper products, sugarcane pulp, etc. We will mainly introduce PLA, paper products, and sugarcane pulp.
PLA, polylactic acid. PLA material strength, gloss, transparency, and heat resistance are good, but it also has mildew, antibacterial, and other characteristics, after degradation to form carbon dioxide and water, it is recognized as an environmentally friendly food packaging material.
Paper packaging raw materials are widely sourced, hygienic, and non-toxic, and can be recycled. Paper bowls, paper cups, paper boxes, and other products have a certain stiffness, strength, and good performance.
Sugarcane pulp, the raw material of the product is mainly from bagasse, sugarcane pulp packaging products have enough strength, heat resistance, and oil resistance, are non-toxic and tasteless, can be naturally degradable and composted, leaving no harmful substances, is one of the typical representatives of green packaging products.
The raw materials of our common disposable plastic products are mainly PP, PET, PS, etc. We will introduce the materials we use for you, namely PP and PET.
PP is the full name of polypropylene. PP material has good heat resistance, up to 120 ° C, acid and alkali corrosion resistance, and not easy to release harmful substances, the bottom of the box will generally show pp and No. 5 mark, can be recycled, recycling value is higher.
PET, short for polyethylene terephthalate, is more advantageous in the production of transparent or translucent products. PET material color difference is small, has good luster, high strength, and high and low-temperature resistance, in baking, cold drinks, and other aspects have a wide range of applications.
