How To Identify Degradable Tableware

Experts suggest that degradable tableware can be identified by several methods of "seeing, smelling, and tearing":

At first glance, first look at whether there is QS logo and number on the lunch box; secondly, whether the surface of the lunch box is smooth and clean, with or without impurities or black spots. Generally speaking, transparent plastic lunch boxes are made of pure polypropylene (PP), which has a relatively high safety factor; brightly colored lunch boxes may use waste plastic, so the darker the color, the less safe it is.

The second touch is to touch the strength of the lunch box. The lunch box produced by using recycled waste or a large amount of industrial grade calcium carbonate and talc powder is generally poor in strength, and it will break when it is gently torn.

The third smell is to smell the lunch box for any peculiar smell. The qualified lunch box cannot smell the smell.

The characteristics of the "black lunch box" can be summed up in six sentences: soft when hand squeezed, cracked when lightly torn, pungent smell, easy to leak when exposed to heat, paraffin mark when folded by hand, and sink in water when torn. . As long as you remember the above jingle, you can easily distinguish whether the disposable lunch box is qualified.
