Disposable chopsticks in China are mainly produced in Zhejiang and Wuhan. Most supermarket chains sell products that meet the relevant regulations. A few wholesalers sell products with unknown production dates, and more than 60% of products sold by roadside stalls have no production dates.

In order to pursue profits, small workshops generally don't choose good wood. In order to make chopsticks look good, they may use a lot of sulfur fumigation, hydrogen peroxide or sodium sulfate to soak and bleach, which will inevitably cause the sulfur dioxide residue on disposable chopsticks to exceed the standard and cause harm to human body.

Introduction:

Disposable chopsticks refer to chopsticks that are discarded after one use, also known as "sanitary chopsticks" and "convenient chopsticks". Disposable chopsticks are the product of fast-paced and resource-saving life in society, and also the product of sharp reduction of forest resources.

There are mainly disposable wooden chopsticks and disposable bamboo chopsticks. Disposable chopsticks are favored by the catering industry because of their sanitation and convenience, but the problem of a large number of forest land destruction caused by disposable wooden chopsticks is increasingly prominent. The consumption of all kinds of wooden chopsticks in China market is huge, including 45 billion pairs of disposable wooden chopsticks every year (about 65.438+66 million cubic meters of wood).

Every 5,000 pairs of wooden disposable chopsticks consume a poplar that has been growing for 30 years. The production of disposable wooden chopsticks in China consumes more than 0/00 mu of forest every day, totaling 36,000 years in A Mu. Moreover, inferior wooden chopsticks are not clean, which just gives people an illusion of hygiene.
