BIODEGRADABLE RAW MATERIAL

FROM NATURE BETTER THAN NATURE

Which food containers are compostable?

2022-08-23

Recently, there are fewer and fewer plastic products in the packaging boxes of the catering industry, whether it is packaging boxes, takeaways, or even "paper straws". The significance of environmental protection needs no introduction, not only for China but also for the whole world and the whole planet. Environmental protection should be a meaningful thing, a valuable thing, an easy thing.

 

This is where eco-friendly materials come into play. Many materials on the market promote environmental protection, such as corn starch and PLA, but the real environmental protection materials are compostable and degradable, and the biggest difficulty in compostable degradation is to solve the problem of food waste composting. Simply put, it is to let compostable materials compost with food waste, rather than designing a system for compostable materials alone. For example, if you are halfway through a take-out meal, and there are leftovers inside, if the meal box is compostable, you can throw the leftovers and the meal box together into the food waste treatment device and compost them together.

 

So is there a type of lunch box that can be composted and degraded? The answer is yes, and that is sugarcane pulp tableware.

Sugarcane pulp products are made from one of the largest food industry wastes: bagasse, also known as sugarcane pulp. The properties of bagasse fibers can be naturally twisted together to form a tight mesh structure to make biodegradable containers. This new green tableware is not only as strong as plastic and can hold liquids, but it is also cleaner than those biodegradable items made from recyclable materials, which may not be completely deinked and will begin to decompose after 30 to 45 days in the soil and lose its shape completely after 60 days.

 

So are there any sugarcane pulp products that have matured in China?

 

Anhui SenAng Green Technology Co., Ltd. is one such company that provides sugarcane pulp products.

With innovative product design concept, Senon provides professional green food packaging solutions to realize the whole process of environmental protection, to meet more diversified scenes and higher quality needs, and to let the public enjoy worry-free and convenience while building a better life together.

 

And SenAng launches a series of product plates, round bowls, square bowls, sauce plates, and paper cups suitable for the restaurant industry. These are products commonly used in restaurants, family life, family and friends gatherings, and business banquets. Using these products eliminates a lot of cleanup work, and more importantly, it is completely disposable with food waste without the need to differentiate as it is a compostable and degradable product.
