For the first time, the National Development and Reform Commission has defined "degradable" and established a negative list for "non-degradable" materials. This signals a strong push toward environmentally-friendly alternatives, and our company is at the forefront of this movement. We specialize in producing biodegradable disposable tableware, including corn starch and PLA-based products, that actively support a sustainable transition in the tableware industry.
Local governments are actively implementing policies to support plastic bans and encourage the adoption of biodegradable alternatives. These policies cover various sectors—including catering, takeaway, wholesale, retail, express delivery, hospitality, and agriculture—and set timelines for transitioning to degradable materials. Our biodegradable disposable tableware decomposes fully into carbon dioxide, water, and other harmless substances in natural or specified environments, providing a viable alternative for plastic bans.
Biodegradable tableware can be derived from both petrochemical and biomass sources and decomposes through processes like biodegradation, photodegradation, and oxidative degradation. Only materials that achieve "full" degradation offer a true environmental benefit, and our products are designed to meet this requirement, ensuring that their breakdown does not harm the environment.
In contrast, traditional plastics blended with starch, calcium carbonate, or other degradation agents do not achieve complete degradation. The European Union’s 2019 proposal on marine pollution bans these partially degradable materials due to their inability to fully decompose. Only fully degradable, eco-friendly materials align with sustainable goals, and our company is committed to providing disposable tableware that meets this high standard for a greener future.
