What are the main ingredients of a compostable meal box?
There are two kinds of degradable lunch boxes on the market, one is made of natural materials, such as straw, starch, paper products, etc.; The other is mainly made of plastic, adding starch, photosensitizer and other substances.
1, degradable natural materials lunch biodegradable natural material meal box is made of natural material disposable degradable meal box, also known as biodegradable meal box. The biodegradable lunch box is an advanced environmental protection product. Its main raw material is starch, add annual long-term plant fiber powder and special additives, through a series of processing into the biodegradable fast-food boxes. The natural environment can be broken down into glucose, carbon dioxide and water. The main sources of starch are potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, cassava and other plants.
2. Degradable plastic lunch boxesDegradable plastic lunch box manufacturing raw materials are degradable plastic, the so-called degradable plastic is in the production and processing of plastic to add certain additives, such as starch, photosensitizer and other raw materials. Biodegradable plastic products using discarded after the exposure after about three months, in nature can be broken down into small pieces of debris, but the technology is still not perfect, these pieces if need fully biodegradable, need time is very long, just from large to small pieces of plastic, not fundamentally up to eliminate white pollution task, Scientists have yet to make up for the technology's shortcomings.
