Since 2020, major catering chains have tacitly replaced Bamboo tableware, so why is the Bamboo cutlery popular?
According to the “Implementation Plan on Further Strengthening the Treatment of Plastic Pollution” issued by each city: By the end of 2020, the use of non-degradable disposable plastic straws in the catering industry in each city had been prohibited, and the use of non-degradable disposable plastic tableware in catering services had been prohibited. Therefore, our favorite catering brands can no longer provide plastic spoons. It can be said that replacement is the general trend.
Why choose Bamboo tableware
Perhaps most of us think that PLA and CPLA products are the best choice for replacement. After all, it is essentially similar to plastic and is degradable. However, the biodegradability of PLA, CPLA and other polymers is not unconditional. It is not completely free of environmental hazards. PLA biodegradation needs to meet the two most basic conditions: 50%-60% humidity and 50-70 degrees Celsius temperature. Under these conditions, it is possible for microorganisms to gradually decompose PLA over a period of months or even longer. Look at this problem from another angle, that is, PLA cannot be degraded under an environment that does not meet the temperature and humidity conditions. This is still for products with 100% PLA raw materials, If it is to improve its temperature resistance and other characteristics, it is often more difficult to degrade.
In other words, it needs to be recycled separately, then sorted, and then subjected to commercial composting for several months before PLA will degrade. This undoubtedly requires huge energy costs. As for the degradation in nature, it is nothing more than the fact that the manufacturer’s failure to specify it has caused the public to misunderstand it.
And why do major brands choose bamboo tableware? You know, big brands are prepared a lot when choosing a new product. Whether the material we know or don’t understand , as long as it is biodegradable tableware, they will experiment, and go through rigorous testing and repeated experiments. Finally, they chose bamboo tableware, which can be degraded under natural conditions, and we can throw it away without burden after we use it.
After selecting the product, they will be more strict with the selection of suppliers. Not only must the qualifications be complete, the factory must be strong, and the product quality control must be stricter, so that the products provided to consumers can be the safest and most reliable. HENGYU with the most complete qualifications for bamboo tableware have established connections with many large catering chains and supermarkets.
