Summary: Plastic products are ubiquitous in daily life, and plastic tableware, due to its lightweight and beautiful appearance
Plastic products are ubiquitous in daily life, and plastic tableware, due to its lightweight and beautiful appearance, is not as easily broken as porcelain, making it particularly popular in the market and becoming a commonly used tableware for residents, restaurants, and unit canteens. There are many types of plastic tableware, mainly divided into the following 7 types:
1. Polystyrene (PS): commonly used in bowl instant noodle boxes and fast food boxes;
2. Polypropylene (PP): Most of the boxes used for packaging in restaurants are made of it;
3. High density polyethylene (HDPE): suitable for storing food, medicine, and cleaning products;
4. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET): used for mineral water, beverage bottles, etc;
5. Polycarbonate (PC): manufacturing water cups and baby bottles;
6. Low density polyethylene (1DPE): plastic film and cling film used as inner film for paper packaging boxes;
7. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC): only suitable for refrigerated preservation of vegetables and fruits.
Melamine plastic, which is not included in the 7 types of plastics, is a thermosetting plastic commonly used in the manufacture of dining utensils such as bowls, plates, chopsticks, spoons, etc. It is made mainly from melamine and formaldehyde resin, with the addition of appropriate amounts of cellulose fillers and auxiliary materials such as coloring agents. (Environmentally friendly plasticizer)
Industry insiders say that most plastic tableware on the market is unqualified and poses a great threat to people. Many so-called environmentally friendly plastic tableware use industrial grade plastic raw materials and waste plastics instead of food grade raw materials in production, and the plasticizers added are not up to standard. These plastic tableware emit a pungent odor when boiled in water. At the same time, they are arbitrarily added with industrial paraffin and talc powder in production, which can easily lead to excessive calcium carbonate and contain harmful substances such as heavy metals lead and chromium. (Environmentally friendly plasticizer)
If people consume industrial calcium carbonate, they are prone to gallstones and kidney stones, especially the heavy metal lead contained in it, which is harmful to the digestive tract and nervous system of the human body. More seriously, many seemingly brightly colored plastic tableware and food containing water, vinegar, oil, etc. can dissolve with each other. After entering the human body with food, it may cause various diseases such as indigestion, local pain, and liver system lesions, affecting children's intellectual development. In severe cases, it can lead to gallstones, heavy metal poisoning, and even cellular cancer. (Environmentally friendly plasticizer)
However, these do not mean that plastic products containing environmentally friendly plasticizers cannot be used, as plastic products are graded and can be used with confidence after identifying the labels!
The triangular logo at the bottom of plastic products is equivalent to the product's "ID card". The triangle formed by three arrows means' recyclable and reusable '. In addition, the numbers inside the triangle, such as "1", are numerical symbols. The plastic number symbol has 1 to 7. Each number represents a type of plastic material, mainly for the convenience of recycling and understanding its usage conditions. (Environmentally friendly plasticizer)
For example, the reusable label marked with "5" is mainly made of PP. Plastic containers made of this material have good breathability, high temperature resistance, high impact resistance, strong mechanical properties, and resistance to various organic solvents and acid-base corrosion. Mostly used for plastic containers such as microwave lunch boxes and baby bottles. Plastic containers made of PP material are the only ones that can be heated and consumed in a microwave oven, and can be reused after careful cleaning. Plastic containers that need to be reused should be made of PP material, which has a melting point of up to 167 degrees and is the only plastic container that can be placed in a microwave oven. After careful cleaning, they can be reused. (Environmentally friendly plasticizer)
