In this age, when environmentally friendly products are becoming more fashionable, people start to think about the state of the environment. And more and more interest is a one-time eco-vessel, which appeared on the market relatively recently. Let's find out what are its advantages and disadvantages and find out what kind of raw materials such utensils produce.
Advantages of disposable eco-vessels
So, what is good about ekoposuda:
- it does not need to be washed or cleaned, because it is disposable. This is not only very convenient, but also allows you to comply with the rules of sanitary safety, for example, in fast food restaurants;
- in such dishes you can not only serve food, but also freeze in the freezer, reheat in the microwave oven, pour and dispense hot drinks, etc .;
- is absolutely safe for human health, does not release toxic substances when it comes into contact with hot food products;
- does not pollute the environment during disposal, decomposes quickly, turning into an organic fertilizer, unlike utensils made of polymer materials;
- It does not bend and has high strength, permanently retaining its shape.
The only, perhaps, lack of environmentally friendly dishes is the low level of its availability to date. Its production is not engaged in so many companies, and buy such dishes can not be everywhere. Internet shops partially solve this problem.
What do one-time eco-vessels do?
The main sources of raw materials for the production of dishes are the following:
- Straw that remains on the field after harvesting
wheat or other cereals; - bamboo, the dishes from which are made by the method of hot pressing;
- corn starch ;
- sugar cane cake;
- palm leaves.
Due to its advantages, a disposable eco-vessel made from corn starch, wheat straw, pressed bamboo is used today in the field of catering, transport, etc., gradually replacing plastic.
