At present, with the development of the take-out industry, it has brought great convenience to people's life, but also caused a surge in the demand for disposable paper tableware.
Disposable tableware has the disadvantage of being difficult to degrade and polluting, which has caused great impact on the sustainable development of the earth and ecological environment. Therefore, various countries around the world have put forward many solutions, but the effect remains to be seen.
Therefore, there is an urgent need for more environmentally friendly disposable lunch boxes, and bagasse plays its value at this time.
Because bagasse contains a lot of fiber, not only has the conditions to become the production of disposable tableware raw materials, but also has the characteristics of environmental protection.
The process of turning bagasse into biodegradable, disposable plates requires a number of steps.
The first step is to disinfect discarded bagasse with the aim of removing bacteria and residues to ensure safety and hygiene;
The second step is to pour the processed bagasse into the blender, adding alkaline solution in the mixing process, for a long time to boil, in order to remove the remaining sugar in the bagasse;
The third step requires multiple processes of rinsing to remove harmful substances.
Finally, when only sugarcane fiber is left, sugarcane fiber can be pressed into a mold and formed into a disposable dinner plate. The biggest advantage of this disposable plate made from bagasse is that it degrades much faster than the previous plastic plate. It only takes three months to complete the degradation instead of hundreds of years, which is a great protection for the natural environment.
