  With the current global plastic ban and plastic restriction requirements, plastic-free or degradable has become an inevitable trend in the future.Common plastics are still incinerated and cremated, resulting in a large amount of greenhouse gas emissions into the air, while disposable biodegradable food box buried in the soil and degraded, and the generated carbon dioxide directly into soil organic matter or absorbed by plants, and will not be discharged into the air, will not cause the greenhouse effect. Today let's take a look at the disposable degradable food boxes on the market.

  Pulp molded food box (plant fiber molded tableware)
  Pulp molded tableware products have certain advantages over plastic tableware. First of all, in terms of raw materials, pulp-molded disposable food boxes use plant fibers such as wheat straw and bagasse as raw materials without adding any PP materials. It is formed by wet pressing process, and food-grade additives such as waterproof and oil-proof are added to the pulp to achieve the effect of holding hot and cold food.
  Plant fiber degradable food boxes are currently the most active type of food boxes on the market. Pulp moulded cutlery is undoubtedly an ideal alternative to plastic. The sugarcane pulp disposable food box is a fully degradable food box, which can be completely degraded into organic matter in 90 days under the conditions of industrial composting or household composting, returning to nature.
  
  Cornstarch based food box
  The cornstarch degradable food box is made of natural corn starch and plant fiber as the base material, supplemented by bio-polyester, polyol and other substances.
  Cornstarch food boxes can be naturally degraded in the soil and natural environment. The degradation rate can reach 60%-80% according to the ingredients of the food box. To a certain extent, it can replace plastic products and reduce white pollution to the environment. It is the perfect substitute for plastic or non-degradable products widely used in the food and beverage market.
  
  PLA degradable tableware
  PLA degradable food box usually refers to a product that combines PLA composite film and pulp molding product in pulp molding process, that is, PLA film-coated product.
  Polylactic acid is a biodegradable material prepared on the basis of other green and renewable plant resources such as corn.

  Disposable biodegradable food box can not only save the use of water and oil repellents, but also better seal the pores of pulp molding products, so that products that cannot be used to prevent alcohol can prevent alcohol leakage. At the same time, after the air holes are sealed, the biodegradable tableware reduces the air permeability of the product in the actual use process, the heat preservation performance is higher, and the heat preservation time is longer.
