The disposable tableware can be divided into three categories according to the source of raw materials, production process, degradation mode and recovery level
1. Biodegradation: such as paper products (including pulp molding, paperboard coating), edible powder molding, plant fiber molding, etc;
2. Photo / biodegradable materials: photo / biodegradable plastics (non foaming), such as photodegradable PP;
3. Easy to recycle materials: such as polypropylene (PP), high impact polystyrene (HIPS), biaxial tensile polystyrene (BOPS), natural inorganic mineral filled polypropylene composite products.
[is environmental protection tableware just degradable tableware]
No, environmental protection tableware includes three types: easy to recycle, easy to dispose and easy to absorb (degrade). Degradable is only one of them. Degradation is only the supplement of recycling, that is, when a certain packaging material is difficult to recycle or has low recycling value, it can be considered to use degradable packaging.

[is it unnecessary to recycle the degradable tableware
No, any materials should not be discarded at will. They should be actively classified and recycled to reduce resource waste and environmental pollution. Even the degradable products need to be disposed or utilized reasonably. It is absurd to talk about the degradation speed and degradation products without the specific environmental factors.
