What are the advantages of aluminum foil tableware over plastic tableware?

Industry News-

1. Safety Advantages
Aluminum foil tableware can withstand a temperature range of -20℃ to 250℃, and can be directly used in ovens, air fryers, and microwave ovens for heating. The molecular structure is stable and does not release harmful substances. The upper temperature limit of plastic tableware is usually 90℃-120℃. It is easy to deform at high temperatures and release toxic substances such as plasticizers and bisphenol A. Aluminum foil lunch boxes can be taken out of the refrigerator and put into the oven for heating directly without changing the container to avoid secondary contamination of food. Aluminum foil uses food-grade primary aluminum, and the production process is annealed and sterilized at high temperature, which meets the national food container hygiene standards. If plastic tableware uses recycled materials or inferior additives, it may contain heavy metals or chemical residues.

2. Environmental protection and safety of use
Aluminum foil tableware can be 100% recycled and regenerated, with high recycling value. Its natural degradation only takes 2-3 years, while plastic tableware takes hundreds of years and releases toxic gases when incinerated. The thickness of aluminum foil is only 0.04-0.20mm, the product packaging ratio is extremely high, the production energy consumption is only 5% of the original aluminum, and greenhouse gas emissions are reduced by 95%. Aluminum foil tableware can be formed without adding plasticizers, and long-term use does not affect human health. Plastic tableware may precipitate harmful substances when exposed to grease or high temperature, which will harm the liver and kidneys.

3. Functional advantages
Aluminum foil tableware can block light, oxygen and water vapor, prevent food from oxidation and deterioration, and extend the shelf life. Plastic tableware has high air permeability, which can easily cause food to get damp or have a bad taste, and the aluminum foil lunch box is strongly sealed by folding or aluminum foil cover, which is suitable for long-distance transportation; plastic tableware is easy to deform, has poor sealing, and is easy to leak when holding hot soup.
