Biodegradable cutlery means that in the natural environment, microorganisms (bacteria, mold, algae) can act as a biochemical reaction under the action of natural environment microorganisms (bacteria, mold, algae), causing the appearance of mildew to internal quality changes. The tableware that eventually forms carbon dioxide and water.
There are two kinds of materials for biodegradable cutlery: one is made of natural materials, such as paper products, straw, starch, etc., which is degradable, also called environmentally friendly products; the other is plastic, which is mainly composed of starch. Made of photosensitizers and other substances.
GB18006.1-2009 "General Technical Requirements for Plastic Biodegradable cutlery" has stricter requirements for the "degradation" of tableware. For example, the biodegradation rate must be above 60%, and the starch content of biodegradable cutlery with starch content should not be lower than 40%, etc., most domestic biodegradable cutlery manufacturers can meet the above standards.
