The significance of environmental protection needless to say, It is of great significance not only to our country, but also to the whole world and the entire earth. With the promotion and gradual improvement of the plastic ban, there are fewer and fewer plastic products in the packaging boxes of all walks of life.
 

Since the introduction of the environmental protection policy, there are many materials for promoting environmental protection on the market, including corn starch, PLA, etc., but many finished products are often only 100% degradable rather than 100% fully degradable and compostable.

So which raw material is compostable and 100% degradable?
The answer is bagasse.
The raw material for sugarcane pulp products comes from one of the largest food industry wastes: bagasse, also known as sugarcane pulp.

According to network data:
1. 4 tons of bagasse can produce 1 ton of paper
2. 2 tons of dry wood chips or 4 tons of wood can produce 1 ton of paper, which is equivalent to 24 trees
3. Last year's 250,000 boxes of Tencent mooncake boxes are equivalent to protecting 757 trees.

Calculation 1: A single set of Tencent mooncake boxes weighs 230 grams, 250,000 sets have 57,500 kilograms, and 57,500 kilograms of bagasse protects 757 trees, which is equivalent to 76 kilograms of bagasse protecting one tree.
Calculation 2: 4 tons of bagasse protect 24 trees, which is equivalent to 167 kg of bagasse protecting one tree. Summarize Replaced by paper: 167 kg of bagasse is equivalent to protecting 1 tree According to Tencent data: 76 kg of bagasse is equivalent to protecting 1 tree

Summarize:
Replaced by paper: 167 kg of bagasse is equivalent to protecting 1 tree
According to Tencent data: 76 kg of bagasse is equivalent to protecting 1 tree

The properties of bagasse fibers can be naturally entangled together to form a tight mesh structure to make a biodegradable container. The new green tableware is not only as strong as plastic, can hold liquids and is cleaner than those made from biodegradable materials made of recyclable materials, but it will begin to decompose after 30 to 45 days in the soil, and will be completely in 90 days lose shape.

Sugarcane pulp is a kind of pulp, which is made from sugar cane bagasse as raw material, and is prepared into a certain concentration of pulp through hydropulping, high temperature disinfection and other processes. Sugarcane pulp is a natural degradable and compostable plant fiber material! Bagasse is made into sugarcane pulp, which not only saves a lot of wood, but also meets the national circular economy requirements and environmental protection policies. Recycling waste, making a sugarcane sweet from beginning to end!

Sugarcane pulp tableware uses sugar cane bagasse as raw material instead of traditional petroleum-derived plastic or foam. It is a 100% eco-friendly and 100% degradable packaging that is currently recognized in the world.

It has four major advantages:
1. The raw material is waste paper, including cardboard, waste paper box paper, waste white edge paper, etc., which are widely sourced.
2. The production process is completed by pulping, adsorption molding, drying and shaping, and is harmless to the environment.
3. It can be recycled and reused, and it is biodegradable.
4. The volume is smaller than that of foamed plastic, it can be overlapped, and the transportation is convenient.

It is believed that in the future, degradable material products will be more widely promoted.
