Nowadays, disposable tableware represented by disposable paper cups has entered the lives of ordinary people, and its safety issues have also attracted much attention. The state stipulates that disposable paper cups cannot use recycled waste paper as raw materials, and fluorescent bleach cannot be added. However, many disposable paper cups use recycled paper that violates regulations. A large amount of fluorescent bleach is added to make the color white, and some industrial calcium carbonate and talcum powder are added to increase its weight. In addition, in order to withstand high temperature, the inside of the paper cup is covered with a layer of coated paper. According to regulations, standard non-toxic polyethylene should be selected, but some manufacturers use industrial polyethylene or waste plastic from medical waste and chemical packaging instead. Let's talk about how to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of disposable paper cups!
1. Look: In addition to looking at the manufacturer's name, address, production date, etc. on the package, you should also look at it against the light. If there is blue light or impurities, it is best not to buy;
2. Smell: whether there is a pungent smell;
3. Touch: If it feels very soft, it may be a low-quality product.
4. Disposable paper cups are divided into three types:
One is made of white cardboard, which is mainly used to hold dry food such as French fries and popcorn, and cannot hold water;
The second is waxed paper cups, which are thick and waterproof, but cannot contain food with a temperature exceeding 40°C;
The third is the paper-plastic cup, that is, the outer wall is covered with a layer of paper and the inner wall is coated with a layer of coated paper to prevent water and oil.
5. Application of paper cups: Disposable paper cups are not just for drinking water, because paper cups represent a type of paper that provides fast, convenient, hygienic and environmentally friendly tools. Its technological requirements and its own advantages represent the requirements of a living utensil category. As far as the classification of disposable paper cups is concerned, there are many related types, such as: advertising paper cups, double-layer paper cups, corrugated paper cups, coffee paper cups, hollow paper cups, tribute tea paper cups, etc. The hygiene and environmental protection of paper will naturally increase consumers' confidence in food, thereby increasing consumers' demand for food, which in turn will drive the development of various related industries.
