Disposable tableware has a history of 20 or 30 years since its appearance. From the previous white foam lunch box and sterilized porcelain tableware to the present disposable tableware, there are more and more types of tableware and more and more uses. Generally speaking, disposable tableware on the market can be divided into five categories: plastic tableware, paper tableware, disinfection tableware, starch tableware, and melamine tableware. But although consumers of these disposable tableware are very convenient to use, consumers still don't know the harm of these tableware. Let's find out below.
Plastic tableware: Many plastic disposable tableware have some beautiful cartoon or landscape patterns on the surface, which can attract some consumers. But you may not know that the release of heavy metal elements such as lead and chromium contained in some plastic tableware patterns exceeds the standard, and may enter the human body without paying attention. Therefore, we should try our best to choose tableware without patterns when buying. In addition, when buying that kind of big bowl of instant noodles, you can see if there is a "PS" (polystyrene) or "PP" (polypropylene) logo on the bottom. If you have it, you can use it with confidence. There is also a foaming agent in the plastic foam disposable tableware. When it encounters high temperature, the ammonia compound contained in the foaming agent will dissolve and enter the human body together with food to cause harm.
