Currently, the two most commonly used materials for takeout packaging are paper and plastic. However, studies have shown that plastic can pose some health risks. For human safety, the best takeout packaging option remains food-grade paper.
Paper and plastic boxes are widely popular not only because their raw materials are relatively cheap but also because they are both recyclable and can maintain a certain degree of freshness when stored. Therefore, paper and plastic boxes remain the most popular packaging for takeout.
Research has shown that plastic containers contain harmful substances. These microplastics can be absorbed by fruits and vegetables through direct contact, potentially entering the human body and causing harm. Especially now that many people use microwave ovens to heat takeout directly, some harmful substances in the plastic can be accelerated to spread into the food during the heating process, thus causing harm to the human body. Moreover, plastic buried underground is not only unable to be degraded, but is also likely to corrode the soil and cause some harm to the land.
Paper boxes are recyclable and biodegradable, making them not only environmentally friendly but also food-grade, ensuring they are harmless to the human body, or at least, they don't produce any harmful substances. Furthermore, compared to plastic packaging, paper boxes can better maintain food temperature and freshness. The foldability of paper boxes also saves significant storage space for businesses, eliminating unnecessary waste.
As a food merchant, the most important thing is not to make money, but to make money while ensuring the personal safety of customers. Therefore, choosing a safe packaging box is the most important and basic.
