In takeaway, fast food, activities and other scenarios, disposable paper bowls have become common items in our daily lives. Compared with traditional plastic tableware, paper bowls are popular because of their convenience, hygiene and safety, and more "environmentally friendly" impression. But do you really understand that paper bowls made of different materials are actually very different? Their performance, scope of application and degree of environmental protection are all different. Only by choosing the right material can you take into account both the user experience and environmental responsibility.
This article will take you to know several common paper bowl materials, help you sort out your ideas, and choose the paper bowl product that best suits your usage scenario.
This type of paper bowl uses virgin wood pulp or recycled paper pulp as the main raw material, which is currently a common type on the market. It has a simple appearance and a relatively low price. It is often used to hold room temperature foods such as fruits, snacks, and dry food. In order to prevent leakage, the inner layer is usually coated with a layer of PE (polyethylene) film, but it is easy to soften or even leak when encountering high-temperature soup.
Suitable for short-term use, especially for occasions with low temperature requirements.
In order to enhance the waterproof and oil-proof effect, this type of paper bowl has a layer of lamination on the inner wall. In addition to being able to hold hot soup, noodles and other liquid foods, it is not easy to deform and is more durable. Some environmentally friendly brands will also choose degradable materials as coatings, such as PLA lamination, which not only guarantees performance but also responds to environmental protection needs.
Suitable for take-out catering, snack stalls, fast food chains and other scenes with high requirements for practicality.
Compared to single-layer laminated paper bowls, double-laminated paper bowls are covered on both the interior and outside, providing not only stronger anti-seepage properties but also some insulation. Even with hot soup at high temperatures, it does not soften or distort easily, making it safer and more lasting.
This sort of paper bowl is commonly used in settings with strict food safety regulations, such as brand take-out, cafes, hotel rooms, and so on.
Degradable paper bowls use bio-based materials (such as PLA, PBS) as coatings, which can be naturally decomposed under appropriate conditions. It is one of the current development directions of environmentally friendly tableware. This kind of paper bowl is not only practical, but also conducive to the company's fulfillment of environmental protection responsibilities. It is particularly suitable for companies that focus on brand image or customer groups facing overseas markets.
Although the cost is slightly higher, it has gradually become the mainstream choice at a time when environmental protection policies are becoming stricter.
These two types of paper bowls use fast-growing plant fibers such as bamboo and sugarcane bagasse, which are renewable resources. The raw materials are natural, the appearance is unique, and the environmental protection properties are also very prominent. They not only have high structural strength, but also feel better, which is very suitable for high-end catering or environmental protection theme activities.
If you want to add brand personality on the basis of environmental protection, this type of paper bowl is a good choice.
When choosing a paper bowl, you can't just look at the price. It needs to be comprehensively judged based on factors such as usage scenarios, food types, packaging time, and whether it pays attention to environmental protection. For example, ordinary paper bowls can be used for daily packaged dry food, while coated or double-coated paper bowls are more suitable for take-out soup and powder foods. If the company pays attention to the concept of environmental protection, it is recommended to use degradable or natural fiber paper bowls.
