Paper cups, paper bowls and paper lunch boxes are the most vital green tableware in the 21th century.

Paper tableware has been widely promoted and used in developed countries and regions such as Europe, America, Japan, Singapore, South Korea and Hong Kong since it came out. Paper products are unique in appearance, environmental protection, health, oil resistance and temperature resistance, and are non-toxic, tasteless, good in image, good in feeling, degradable and pollution-free. Paper tableware was quickly accepted by people with its unique charm as soon as it entered the market. International fast food industry and beverage suppliers such as McDonald's, KFC, Coca Cola, Pepsi Cola and instant noodle manufacturers all use paper tableware. The plastic products that appeared twenty years ago and were hailed as the white revolution brought convenience to mankind, but also produced white pollution that is difficult to eliminate today. Because it is difficult to recycle plastic tableware, burning produces harmful gases, and it can't degrade naturally. Burying will destroy the soil structure. Our government spends hundreds of millions of dollars every year to deal with it, but the effect is not great. Developing green environmental protection products and eliminating white pollution have become a major global social problem. At present, from the international point of view, many countries in Europe and America have already legislated against the use of plastic tableware. From the domestic situation, the Ministry of Railways, the Ministry of Communications, the State Environmental Protection Administration, the State Planning Commission, the Ministry of Science and Technology, and local governments such as Wuhan, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Dalian, Xiamen, Guangzhou and many other big cities have taken the lead in issuing decrees to completely ban the use of disposable plastic tableware. Document No.6 of the State Economic and Trade Commission (1999) also clearly stipulates that the use of plastic tableware will be completely banned nationwide by the end of 2111. A global reform of plastic tableware manufacturing industry is gradually emerging. Green environmental protection products replacing plastic with paper have become one of the development trends in today's society.

in order to adapt to and promote the development of replacing plastic with paper, on February 28th, 1999, the State Economic and Trade Commission, together with the State Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision, the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Health, issued two national standards, namely, General Technical Standard for Disposable Degradable Tableware and Test Method for Disposable Degradability, which came into effect on October 1th, 2111. It provides a unified technical basis for the production, sale, use and supervision of disposable degradable tableware in China. With the rapid development of China's economy and the steady improvement of people's living standards, people's awareness of health and wellness has been constantly strengthened. At present, disposable paper cups have become a necessity for people's daily consumption in many economically developed areas.

Experts predict that in the next three years, paper tableware will be popular all over the country and enter families in large numbers, and its market is growing and expanding rapidly. It is the general trend that plastic tableware will end its historical mission, and paper tableware is becoming a fashion trend.

at present, the paper products market has just started, and the market prospect is broad. According to statistics, the consumption of paper tableware was 3 billion in 1999, and reached 4.5 billion in 2111. It is estimated that it will increase by 51% every year in the next five years. Paper tableware has been widely used in commerce, aviation, high-end fast food restaurants, cold drinks halls, large and medium-sized enterprises, government departments, hotels, families in economically developed areas and so on, and is rapidly expanding to small and medium-sized cities in the mainland. In China, the country with the largest population in the world. Its great market potential provides a broad space for paper products manufacturers.
