Under the global ban on plastic, the trend towards being plastic-free or degradable has become inevitable. The common method of dealing with plastic is still incineration, which releases a large amount of greenhouse gases into the air. In contrast, disposable degradable meal boxes are buried in the soil to decompose, and the carbon dioxide produced is directly absorbed by the soil organic matter or plants, without being released into the air, thus not causing the greenhouse effect.
With the ban on plastic gradually taking root in people's hearts, the market demand for plastic-free or degradable packaging materials is also increasing. This trend is particularly evident in the food packaging industry, where disposable degradable meal boxes have become the preferred choice for consumers and merchants due to their friendly environmental characteristics.
Compared with traditional plastic meal boxes, degradable meal boxes have many advantages:
- Environmental friendliness: Degradable meal boxes can decompose quickly in the natural environment, reducing pollution to soil and water sources. Compared with the greenhouse gases produced by incinerating plastic, most of the carbon dioxide released during the decomposition process is absorbed by plants, forming a relatively closed ecological chain and reducing the impact on the atmosphere.
- User acceptance: More and more consumers are now inclined to choose environmentally friendly products. Enterprises that provide degradable meal boxes can not only cater to market trends but also enhance their brand image and market competitiveness.
- Regulatory support: Countries are increasingly strict in their policies and regulations on the use of plastic products. Enterprises that adopt degradable meal boxes can obtain policy support and incentives, thus moving more smoothly on the path to compliance.
The importance of folder gluer equipment:
To meet the growing market demand for degradable packaging materials, the rapid development of folder gluer equipment is particularly important. As the core equipment for producing disposable degradable meal boxes, the technology and performance of the folder gluer directly affect the quality and production efficiency of the products.
Technical features of the equipment:
- High production efficiency: Modern folder gluers usually have the capability for automated production, which can greatly improve production efficiency and meet the needs of large-scale production to cope with high market demand.
- Wide applicability of materials: Excellent folder gluers can adapt to the processing of various materials, including PLA, pulp, and other degradable materials, providing manufacturers with a greater range of choices.
- Precise molding: High-precision folder gluers can ensure the quality of the meal box molding, reduce material waste, and enhance product consistency, thereby improving the user experience.
- Easy operation: Modern folder gluers are usually equipped with intelligent control systems, making them easy to operate and allowing employees to get started quickly, effectively reducing the cost of manual training.
