Foam plastic problems should be paid more attention

Disposable foam plastic tableware is made ​​of polystyrene , because the characteristics of the material itself, there are still caveats lifted after use. Flammable polystyrene, foamed plastics save tableware should consider fire safety issues in the product package description should express.

In addition, the poor heat resistance of polystyrene, exceed 70 ℃will be deformed, and the release of harmful low-molecular substances. Polystyrene resin as raw foam plastic disposable tableware made ​​of, because they can not obtain the "white pollution" notoriety via biodegradation and photolysis.

Recently, the International Food Packaging Association is currently in Beijing announced in the east and southern part of the companies are still not using hazardous sources that even imports of waste plastics production of polystyrene foam plastic tableware, in order to reduce costs, these companies use in production or added outsourcing and multiple recycling waste recycling fee standard plastic material produced foam plastic tableware lunch boxes.

Due to the current disposable foam plastic tableware is no national standard, even if companies use outsourcing even toxic recycled waste plastics containing carcinogens, in addition to the company and love, according to "Food packaging polystyrene products standard "(GB9689-1988) also cannot be detected out.

For this reason, many enterprises use outsourcing flagrant waste production, great technical difficulty of law enforcement. The disposable foam plastic tableware because of its large volume, low density, light weight, oil absorption disaster cleaning and other issues, no one currently recovering after the lifting of the ban face of environmental pollution and waste of resources and other issues. We should accelerate the pace of polystyrene recycling, but also we should take care of the environment.
