But recently, a kind of corn starch tableware, disposable corn starch tableware, appeared on the tables of some restaurants. Tableware is similar to paper and smells like corn. Some merchants advertise that this tableware contains corn starch, food-grade pp, additives and biodegradable additives. When promoting disposable corn starch tableware, it is characterized by hygiene and environmental protection to induce consumers. Is this kind of tableware qualified in sanitary quality, can it really degrade in environmental protection, and what is food-grade pp?
The so-called additives? Biodegradable additives? With all the questions, we made an unannounced visit to Linyi Baolong Biodegradable Plastic Factory.
1 pp is called chlorinated polypropylene, which is used to make plastic products such as daily necessities, electrical appliances and medical devices. In the warehouse of the factory, the bags are filled with recycled plastic particles.
The so-called additive is corn essence, an essence additive used in toys and other plastic products. It's hard to imagine what kind of harm the smell on toys will do to the human body if it is placed on our tableware.
Biodegradable agent is a horrible product, which can degrade plastic products and produce 16 toxins. That is to say, when you use corn starch tableware to hold hot soup, you have inadvertently melted the toxins in the food, and the toxic substances such as diphenol will precipitate and immerse in the food. In particular, its environmental hormone effect may lead to male feminization and even reproductive dysfunction. According to the doctor, the polystyrene contained in it is strongly irritating, and it has anesthetic effect at high concentration, which is seriously harmful to the central nervous system.
