Disposable tableware can often be seen in restaurants, fast foods, and banquet halls. Of course, many people prefer to use these dishes instead of using porcelain or glass dishes, because the structure of these dishes is such that they neither need to be washed nor break. Disposable dishes in general include plates, cups, disposable packaging containers, etc., and the main reason for using them, especially eco-friendly plates in catering centers and restaurants, is the possibility of their quick recycling and It is also their compostability.
As mentioned, in the production of disposable containers, in addition to plastic, materials such as paper, corn extract, bagasse, etc. are also used. The most natural disposable containers are those produced with sugarcane stalks or bagasse, which are quickly absorbed in nature and turn into nutritious fertilizer for plants. Due to the prevention of common diseases, these containers are the only useful containers in various food industries, and since they are resistant to acidic, fatty, hot, humid, etc., they prevent the molecules of the container from combining with the food inside the container. /p>
✔️ History of disposable containers
We go to 1967; The year when the first disposable paper container was produced by German Hermann Henschel. About 40 years after the first production of disposable containers, American Samuel J. Curmbin took a new step. A public health officer in Kansas City, he started his first production to promote public health. While riding the high-speed train, Krumbein observed that the way passengers were drinking water was completely unsanitary. Since diseases such as tuberculosis were prevalent at that time, he decided to make a paper cup called the Health Cup.
