The difference between disposable bamboo fiber bowl and pulp bowl
Author:
In the current era of increasing environmental awareness, the choice of disposable tableware has become particularly important. Disposable bamboo fiber bowls and pulp bowls, as common environmentally friendly disposable tableware, have many differences between them.
From the perspective of raw materials, disposable bamboo fiber bowls are made from bamboo. Bamboo grows rapidly and is a renewable resource, and most bamboo does not require the use of pesticides or fertilizers, reducing chemical pollution from the source. Pulp bowls are mainly made from waste paper or virgin wood pulp as raw materials. The use of waste paper can achieve resource recycling, but obtaining native wood pulp means cutting down trees, which has a certain impact on forest resources.
In terms of production technology, bamboo fiber bowls are made by processing bamboo into fibers and then molding them through molding and other processes. The process is relatively simple, and the natural antibacterial substances contained in bamboo itself are preserved. The pulp bowl needs to be made by molding the pulp through molds, drying and other processes, which are relatively complex. Some production processes may also require the addition of chemical additives to enhance performance.
In terms of performance, the bamboo fiber bowl has a relatively stiff texture, good drop resistance, and can withstand a certain weight. Due to the natural characteristics of bamboo, it has certain antibacterial and leak proof abilities. Pulp bowls are relatively soft and have slightly weaker drop resistance, but after waterproof treatment, they can still hold liquid food well. However, prolonged contact with liquids may cause them to soften and deform.
In terms of environmental characteristics, bamboo fiber bowls can degrade quickly in natural environments, and the degradation time is usually shorter than that of pulp bowls. And its production process has relatively low energy consumption. Although pulp bowls can also be degraded, if they contain native wood pulp, the consumption of forest resources during the production process cannot be ignored.
