Do paper tableware produce toxic gases?

Paper tableware will not produce toxic gases. It's just that the smell of glue may not be very good. The first paper bowl is made of paper pulp through the bowl, and then dried and shaped. However, there must be some materials in the pulp, such as adhesives, and film injection. These materials must be chemically treated. Many restaurants have disposable paper cups, paper bowls and other tableware, and many customers think it should be at least more hygienic than plastic cups and bowls.

Introduction of paper tableware

In order to achieve waterproof effect, the inner wall of disposable paper bowl will be coated with a layer of polyethylene waterproof film. Polyethylene is the safest chemical in food processing. If the selected materials are not good or the processing technology is not enough, polyethylene may be oxidized into carbonyl compounds during hot melting or coating on paper cups.

Carbonyl compounds do not volatilize at room temperature, but may volatilize when hot water is poured into paper cups, so people will smell strange smells. Another water-repellent substance, wax, will dissolve in water when it exceeds 40 degrees, which will do great harm to the body if used for a long time.

Secondly, the paper cups and bowls made by some workshops look white and clean. In fact, this is because of the addition of fluorescent whitening agent. Some disposable paper bowls can even be dipped in talcum powder. Regular use of these paper bowls will be harmful to human health.
