Benefits of Biodegradable Paper Bowl
 

They are more durable than paper cups
Biodegradable paper bowls are stronger than paper products. Unlike paper cups, biodegradable paper bowls will not easily break. Also, these cups do not leak. The strength of the biodegradable paper bowls is completely equal to the plastic ones. In some cases, it is even stronger. At this site, we sell biodegradable paper bowls in bulk.

 

Reducing the amount of waste in landfills
Using biodegradable paper bowls reduces plastic waste in landfills. Since biodegradable paper bowls are an environmentally friendly option, it is safe to use them safely and then throw them away and stop worrying about plastic pollution in the environment.

 

Reducing ocean pollution
Using biodegradable paper bowls will reduce plastic pollution in the oceans. Since the oceans are polluted with 18 billion pounds of plastic products every year, all aquatic and marine animals will be endangered. Using biodegradable paper bowls reduces the volume of plastics entering the oceans. Of course, we believe that every waste should be placed in the right place. Neither in nature nor the oceans!!

 

Microwave safe
Biodegradable paper bowls are safe to use in the microwave. You can put these cups in the microwave and heat your drink. Biodegradable paper bowls have good strength and are unbreakable. They also have good resistance to relatively moderate heat.

 

Less energy consumption
Less energy is consumed to make these products than to make plastic containers. Also, making these containers will not cause any environmental pollution (industrial and water waste).

 

Biodegradable paper bowls are non-toxic
No additional chemicals, bleaches, or dyes are used in the process of making biodegradable paper bowls. That is why these products are completely non-toxic. Even the ivory colour of these products is from the natural colour of corn starch. You can serve and safely use it for every generation from young to old, without worrying about any types of health issues.

 

No further washing up post-consumption
Since biodegradable paper bowls have the same application as foam and paper cups, you can throw them away after use. These cups are not harmful to the environment and their waste can be decomposed into the environment.
Due to the increasing demand for biodegradable tableware in the packaging industry, manufacturers of these products are increasing around the world.

The Difference Between Biodegradable Paper Bowl And General Paper Bowl

 

Environmental protection has become the theme of the new era, and biodegradable paper bowl has become the choice of more people. As we all know, biodegradable paper bowl, as a widely used disposable commodity, play an indispensable role in family, business and travel. Now biodegradable paper bowl advertising has become a highly accurate and effective form of advertising. The degradable paper bowl advertisement is to use the articles with practical functions as the advertising carrier for advertising release and delivery.


The term "biodegradable" represents a process, but not necessarily under conditions or in a time frame, and the rate of decomposition can vary widely. Technically, all compounds can be biodegradable under the right conditions and will break down over a certain period of time, but that could be hundreds or thousands of years. For example, wood is biodegradable, but wooden structures don't break down and can be passed down from generation to generation. Trees are biodegradable but can live for hundreds of years.


In life, we often come into contact with various types of paper bowls, among which there are many advertising paper bowls with more patterns. As a new publicity mode of the enterprise, the degradable paper bowl has been applied in various enterprises. By printing various designs on paper bowls, disposable advertising paper bowls can not only bring good mood to drinkers, but also play a good role in promoting enterprises.

 

At present, the disposable paper bowls sold on the market are mainly divided into three types: one is made of white paper, which is mainly used for storing dry things and cannot contain water or oil; Waxy paper bowls are more waterproof and thicker because they have been soaked in wax, but the wax melts as soon as the water in the paper bowl rises above 40 ° C and contains cancer-causing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The third kind is commonly used paper plastic paper bowl, the outside is a layer of paper, there is a layer of film paper inside. The quality of the paper determines whether harmful substances will be produced during the use of the paper bowl.

 

PE is the most common material used for film paper, but when it comes to real environmental protection, film paper should be as degradable as paper bowls, not causing pressure to the environment. Thus, PLA film paper made of new environmental protection material PLA emerged at the historic moment. Traditional paper based on the material of composite material is paper, such as LDPE, PET plastic film composite, such as PE, PET plastic is the characteristics of natural degradation, make this kind of packing material can meet the requirements of environmental protection, complete sense and with full PLA biodegradable materials and paper laminating technology development, completely solve the worldwide problem. PLA film paper itself is a completely compostable, environmentally friendly and healthy product. PLA film paper is made of 99.99% corn plastic PLA material without any additives.

 

In addition, polylactic acid (PLA) has good thermal stability, processing temperature of 170 ~ 230°C, and good solvent resistance. It can be processed in a variety of ways. In addition to biodegradation, polylactic acid products have good biocompatibility, gloss, transparency, hand feel and heat resistance, as well as certain bacteria resistance, flame retardant and uv resistance.

How is Biodegradable Paper Bowl Produced?
 

 

Raw Paper Roll Lamination
● The technique of "paper lamination" involves applying a thin layer of a polymer—usually polyethylene (PE), polylactic acid (PLA), polypropylene (PP), water-based barrier coating, or another appropriate material—to improve the qualities of paper. This coating guarantees greaseproofing and water resistance.
● There are multiple processes in this process: melting the polymer, producing a thin sheet, pressing it onto the paper, allowing it to cool, and selecting the suitable raw material for the paper.
● The raw paper material used can differ based on the desired qualities of the biodegradable paper bowls.
● The coating process can achieve speeds of up to 300 meters per minute, making it an efficient and high-volume production method for biodegradable paper bowls.

 

Paper Roll Printing
● Food package printing is a multi-step process that starts with paper lamination and ends with the transfer of the desired logo or branding onto the paper roll. A custom logo printing plate is carefully prepared before printing to guarantee accurate and superior logo replication.
● Flexo printing and UV printing are the two most popular methods of printing for food packaging. Flexo printing, on the other hand, is ideal for basic logos due to its efficiency and low cost. Complex designs with full-color printing are best suited for UV printing. UV printing is used because of its high-quality outcomes.
● Flexo and UV printing both provide quick ink drying, reducing manufacturing downtime.

Paper Roll Die-Cut
● In this process, a high-speed roll die-cutting machine efficiently turns raw paper rolls into various biodegradable paper bowl fan shapes by swapping out molds. Maximum die-cutting dimensions are 1150 x 350 mm. These paper fans serve as the sidewalls of biodegradable paper bowls.
● At a staggering 300-380 times per minute, this adaptable die-cutting device swiftly slices through all sorts of paper bowl fans. However, because of its thicker PLA liner paper, PLA coating paper tends to cut more slowly than PE film coating paper.

 

Biodegradable Paper Bowl Molding
● Forming, or molding, is an essential stage in the production of biodegradable paper bowls. In order to guarantee ideal paper fan shaping and tight bottom paper sealing, the paper bowl machine carefully regulates the outlet speed and temperature.For the purpose of forming the paper fan and sealing the bottom paper, the paper bowl machine carefully regulates the temperature and speed of the outlet.
● Up to 48,000 cups can be produced in an 8-hour shift or 4.3 million cups in a month (3 shifts) when the forming process reaches a high speed of 100–120 cups per minute.
