What harm can plastic cutlery cause compared to environmentally friendly utensils?

Plastic products made of polystyrene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride and other polymer compounds for disposable plastic tableware have the characteristics of low toxicity, high melting point, strong plasticity, and simple production. Discarded disposable lunch box materials.
 

However, while the disposable plastic tableware brings us convenience, it also produces a variety of side effects, which constitute direct pollution to the human body and secondary pollution to the environment.
 

In the production process of disposable foam tableware, a large amount of foaming agent, which is an ozone depleting substance, is consumed, thus endangering the protective umbrella of the earth - the ozone layer; the Chinese government has begun to restrict the production of disposable foam tableware, so there are manufacturers in the market that produce environmentally friendly utensils.
 

As a result, product quality, especially hygiene, has also become a problem; toxic and harmful substances will dissolve at higher temperatures and be absorbed by food, thereby causing trace pollution to the human body and long-term deposition damage to health.
 

The harmful substances in plastic tableware exceed the standard, which is even more harmful; the degradation cycle of lunch boxes made of polystyrene is extremely long, which can reach about 200 years in ordinary environments. That is to say, it will keep its macromolecule form unchanged for a long period of time. Therefore, it not only destroys the environment, but also brings greater harm to the survival of human beings.
