With the acceleration of people's life, the demand for fast food is increasing, and fast food packaging waste is also increasing. For fast food restaurant owners,
wholesale bagasse cutlery has become an effective environmental protection method. In the past, most
disposable tableware was made of traditional plastic. But because plastics are not degradable, they are harmful to the environment. Every year, we can see news about plastic waste and white pollution from various news reports. Everyone should make a little contribution to environmental protection, even if it is insignificant.
Wholesale bagasse cutlery becomes a substitute
Western countries began to look for
fast food packaging that could replace plastic foam in the 1990s. From the perspective of the degradability of raw materials and the selection of the supply chain, corn starch, reeds, platycodons and bagasse (waste residue after extraction of sugarcane) have become the main research and development directions that scientists pay attention to. Among them, bagasse has become the production of plant fiber disposable tableware. The first choice of raw materials, because of its relatively stable supply of raw materials, will increase profits for sugar factories. After more than ten years of tackling tough problems, bagasse is used. The price of disposable tableware produced at present has gradually approached that of plastic disposable tableware.
Bagasse is the fibrous material remaining after extracting juice from sugarcane. Sugarcane is one of the main raw materials for sugar production. The bagasse remaining after sugar extraction can be used to make pulp and tableware. Although its fiber configuration is not as good as wood and bamboo, it is slightly better than straw fiber and wheat straw fiber. Abundant and annual renewable sugarcane tableware has become a sustainable alternative to disposable plastics on ships, especially after the ban on disposable plastics takes effect.
Because sugarcane containers are completely degradable than plastic disposable tableware, they are resistant to high temperatures and do not produce harmful substances after heating. Sugarcane tableware, including sugarcane cups, bagasse bowls, etc., have almost doubled in demand in the United States and Canada in recent years. In addition, many states in the United States have already banned the use of plastic disposable tableware, which has greatly promoted the development of sugarcane tableware.
Making of bagasse tableware
Usually bagasse is used as feed to feed animals, and after necessary processing is used as biofuel for energy production.
More importantly, bagasse can be used as a raw material to produce tableware, replacing traditional petroleum-based plastics. No waste water is produced during the production process. The raw materials come from plants, and the
bagasse tableware is composted in nature, and recycled from cradle to cradle, which greatly solves the white pollution problem caused by disposable plastics.
The bagasse is chopped and mixed with water and other pulp materials to form a slurry. When the bagasse pulp is subjected to high pressure and high temperature, it will be shaped into tableware. The whole process uses pure natural materials, does not use ink or plastic, and does not produce waste water. The cut corners can be used to make egg trays in supermarkets without wasting materials. The bagasse environmentally friendly tableware can be degraded within 3-6 months.
Then test the oil resistance and water resistance of the finished bowls and dishes. Only after the bowls and plates pass these tests can they be packaged and ready for consumer use. The finished package contains plates and bowls, which can be used for picnics, cafeterias or any time disposable tableware is needed. Provide safe tableware for environmentalists.
Wholesale bagasse cutlery is 100% biodegradable and can be completely decomposed in a composting facility within 90 days. Hyde uses waste products that will eventually be landfilled and creates a useful product that can be used by consumers with little impact on the environment. We are proud to be closer to eliminating waste from landfills. Try our
