eco-friendly tableware


Does eco-friendly tableware mean degradable tableware?
No. There are three types of eco-friendly tableware: easy to recycle, easy to dispose and easy to dispose of (degradable), and degradable is only one of them. Degradation is only a supplement to recycling, that is, when a certain packaging material is difficult to recycle after use or when the recycling value is low, you can consider using degradable packaging.

Does degradable tableware not need to be recycled?
No. No material should be discarded indiscriminately. You should be proactive in sorting and recycling to reduce waste of resources and environmental pollution. Even if the product is degradable, it needs to be disposed of or utilised in a reasonable manner. It is nonsense to talk about how quickly the product degrades and the degradation products without specific environmental factors.
