The materials of take-out boxes are mainly plastic and paper, and clean plastic and paper can be recycled, so many people think that plastic take-out boxes can also be recycled, but this is wrong, because the take-out boxes have been polluted when they are filled with food, and they have lost the value of recycling, so they belong to other garbage.

Other garbage disposal: Other garbage mainly comes from domestic garbage. Drain the water from the garbage before putting it in other trash cans. Therefore, when throwing the takeaway box, you should first pour the residue inside into the kitchen garbage bin, and then put the takeaway box, chopsticks, napkins and other garbage into other trash bins.

What is other rubbish?

According to the classification standard of domestic garbage, if domestic garbage is not easy to be recycled, corroded and crushed, and will not cause too much pollution to the environment, these garbage belong to other garbage. Other rubbish also includes: take-away boxes, porcelain plates, corn husks, pots, broken toilets, cosmetic brushes, cans, sponges, peanut shells, basketball, peach pits and so on.

The main component of take-away plastic lunch box is PVC, which is harmless to human body, but it cannot be decomposed in the natural environment. Moreover, the recycling value of plastic lunch boxes is very low, far from the high cost of decomposition, and they can only be put into other garbage for unified treatment to avoid environmental pollution.

In daily life, paper lunch boxes can be used instead of plastic packaging boxes to avoid damage to the environment.
