　　Plastic products are ubiquitous in daily life. Plastic tableware, due to its lightness and aesthetics, and unlike porcelain, is not easily broken, making it particularly favored by the market and becoming 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 for instant noodle cups and fast-food boxes;

　　2. Polypropylene (PP): Most of the takeout boxes in restaurants are made of this;

　　3. High-density polyethylene (HDPE): Suitable for packaging food, medicine, and cleaning supplies;

　　4. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET): Used for mineral water and beverage bottles, etc.;

　　5. Polycarbonate (PC): Used to make water cups and baby bottles;

　　6. Low-density polyethylene (LDPE): Plastic films and cling films, used as inner liners for paper packaging boxes;

　　7. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC): Only suitable for cold storage and preservation of vegetables and fruits.

　　Melamine plastic, not included in the seven types of plastics, is a thermosetting plastic, often used to make bowls, plates, chopsticks, spoons, and other dining utensils. It is made from melamine, formaldehyde resin as the main raw materials, with the addition of an appropriate amount of cellulose fillers and coloring agents, etc. (Environmentally friendly plasticizer)

　　Industry insiders say that most plastic tableware on the market is substandard and poses great harm 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 also substandard. These plastic tableware, when scalded with boiling water, emit a pungent odor. At the same time, industrial paraffin and talc are arbitrarily added during production, easily resulting in excessive calcium carbonate and containing 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. In particular, the heavy metal lead contained in it is harmful to the human digestive tract and nervous system. Even more serious is that many seemingly brightly colored plastic tableware can dissolve with the water, vinegar, and oil contained in food. 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, and in severe cases, leading to gallstones, heavy metal poisoning, or even cell carcinogenesis.

　　However, this does not mean that plastic products containing environmentally friendly plasticizers cannot be used, because plastic products are graded; recognize the markings and use them with confidence!

　　The triangular mark at the bottom of the plastic product is like the product's "identity card." The triangle formed by three arrows means "recyclable." In addition, the number in the triangle, such as "1," is a numerical mark. Plastic numerical markings range from 1 to 7. Each number represents a type of plastic material, mainly for easy recycling and understanding its usage conditions. (Environmentally friendly plasticizer)

　　For example: The recycling mark labeled "5" has PP as its main manufacturing material. Plastic containers made from this material have good air permeability, high heat resistance, high impact resistance, strong mechanical properties, and resistance to various organic solvents and acid-base corrosion. They are mostly used for microwave oven food containers, baby bottles, and other plastic containers. Plastic containers made of PP material are the only ones that can be heated in a microwave oven. They can be reused after careful cleaning. For reusable plastic containers, it is best to choose those made of PP material. This material has a melting point as high as 167 degrees, making it the only plastic container that can be put in a microwave oven and reused after careful cleaning.
