Disposable non degradable plastic knives, forks, and spoons are no longer used? Heat-resistant PLA knife, fork, and spoon to save the scene!

In 2020, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Ecology and Environment issued the "Opinions on Further Strengthening the Treatment of Plastic Pollution", which stipulated that by the end of 2020, the national catering industry would prohibit the use of non degradable disposable plastic straws, and the use of non degradable disposable plastic tableware would be prohibited in catering and dining services in urban built-up areas and scenic spots above the prefecture level. Currently, among the prohibited and restricted categories of disposable non degradable plastic tableware, Disposable non degradable plastic knives, forks, and spoons bear the brunt.

With less than half a year to go before the deadline for the ban, various companies dedicated to the research and development of environmentally friendly new materials are rubbing their hands and launching various environmentally friendly alternative products, such as Pengli Shaping and Shuangtong straws. Recently, a reporter learned from Pengli Shaping that the company has made new breakthroughs in the research and development of new products, successfully developing heat-resistant PLA knives, forks, and spoons, opening up the application of fully degradable material products in the field of hot food.

The heat-resistant PLA knife, fork, and spoon project was launched in June this year. Due to the extreme shortage of materials in the market, they adopted a combination of outsourcing and self-made methods to accelerate the development process. Currently, they have independently designed PLA knife, fork, and spoon dedicated injection molds, and the materials have also achieved standardized formula design. The PLA knives, forks, and spoons produced by the company have excellent heat resistance, with a heat deformation temperature of up to 125 ℃, which is sufficient for daily hot food use. They have both environmental advantages and are very practical.

I hope that in the future, more and more enterprises will invest in the array of environmentally friendly new material research and development, develop more environmentally friendly new products, and shape a better life!
