Plastic restrictions continue to be implemented, biodegradable products have gradually replaced traditional plastic products, the market has also appeared a variety of biodegradable plastic lunch boxes, but biodegradable plastic lunch boxes, it is really environmentally friendly?


Biodegradable plastic lunch boxes are made from biodegradable plastic, the so-called biodegradable plastic is in the production process of plastic to add a certain amount of additives such as photosensitizers starch and other raw materials, so that biodegradable plastic products can be used and abandoned in nature after three months of exposure, by the complete shape of the decomposition into pieces. However, the biggest drawback of this technology is that these fragments do not continue to degrade, but are simply transformed from large pieces into small pieces of plastic, which is not fundamentally adequate for the task of eliminating white pollution.


In addition, in order to improve the processability of the polymer and the flexibility of the product, additives/auxiliaries are added to the raw material and these may cause toxic and harmful substances to migrate out during contact with food, posing a certain threat to human health.
So are there any disposable lunch boxes that are fully degradable and not harmful to human health? Here is a healthy and environmentally friendly lunch box - the PLA composable lunch box from Jiaou

.
Our PLA raw material is a new type of biodegradable material made from starch derived from renewable plant resources (e.g. corn, cassava, sugar cane), which can be completely degraded by microorganisms in nature to produce carbon dioxide and water. It is also healthy and safe due to its food-grade contact material, which is derived from plant resources. For the 2022 Winter Olympics, our country is using the fully degradable material, polylactic acid (PLA), to make the athletes' lunch boxes and cutlery. The lunch boxes produced from PLA are truly fully degradable, healthy and safe.
