Bamboo fiber + bagasse! Make perfect biodegradable tableware: low cost, high strength, hydrophobic and oil resistant, half degrades in 2 months

Disposable tableware has brought convenience to people's life, especially with the development of the food delivery industry, the number of disposable tableware consumed by people has soared. Our country's online takeout platforms are dominated by certain group and certain hungry. An environmental protection organization has carried out a statistic on the amount of disposable dinnerwork consumed by it. It found that an average of 3.27 disposable plastic dinnerwork will be consumed per order, then these platforms will consume nearly 80 million a day, not including the consumption of other platforms and the traditional catering outlet. Around the world, 16 billion disposable paper coffee cups are consumed every year, and 1 billion plastic straws are discarded every day. This huge amount of consumption puts about 8 million tons of plastic waste into the ocean every year, which would take a conservative estimate of 450 years to degrade.

Bamboo fibers and bagasse are woven into disposable tableware

Half of it degrades in 60 days

FIG. 2. (A-B) Optical microscopic images of mixed fibers at different magnification; (C-f) SEM images of tableware surface at different magnification; (G) Biodegradability of mixed fiber tableware compared with plastic tableware (H).

Using electron microscopy, the researchers found that melting of lignin in the hot-pressed fibers and hydrogen bonding between the cellulose bind the fibers tightly together, forming a 3D network that improves water resistance and strength.

To study the tableware's biodegradability, the researchers buried them in soil and regularly checked for changes in shape and weight. It was found that yellow fungus appeared on the surface of tableware after 20 days of embedding, began to deform after 30-45 days, and lost its shape completely and gradually disappeared after 60 days. And the weight of the cup dropped from 7.99g to 4.18g after 60 days, almost halving. In contrast, the appearance and shape of polystyrene (PS) tableware did not change after 60 days.

Pb content is only 1/8 of the standard

Figure 3. Heavy METAL CONTENT and oil resistance of mixed fiber tableware. (A) Comparison of heavy metal content in tableware; (B-C) oil resistance of tableware; (D-E) Contact Angle and water absorption of tableware.

Since it is used As tableware, it is necessary to ensure its safety first, especially heavy metals, such As Pb and As content can not exceed the standard. According to European Regulation on Food Contact Materials (EC) No. 1935/2004 and Chinese National Food Safety Standard (Food Contact paper and board materials and their products) GB 4806.8-2016,23,24, the content of Pb and As should be less than 3.0 mg/kg and 1.0 mg/kg, respectively. Inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) was used to analyze the Pb and As contents in the mixed fiber tableware. It was found that the Pb content was 0.3633 mg/kg, which was only 1/8 of the standard value, and no As was detected.

As tableware, oil and water resistance is also critical. The contact Angle of mixed fiber tableware to water reached 127°, the contact Angle of secondary fiber molding pulp SFMP and filter paper to water was 0°, and the commercial bagasse tableware was 93°. The mixed fiber material showed excellent hydrophobicity. Moreover, the water absorption of mixed fiber tableware was only 59.4%, while that of commercial bagasse tableware was 77.5%, filter paper was 149.2%, and SFMP was 310%. Such low water absorption was due to the high hydrophobicity and compact structure of mixed fiber.

To evaluate the oil resistance of the tableware, the researchers conducted an analysis according to the Technical Association of the Pulp and Paper Industry (TAPPI) 559pM-96 standard and found that the mixed fiber tableware had a level 6 oil resistance, much higher than that of SFMP (level 1), commercial biodegradable bagasse tableware (level 4) and filter paper (level 1), showing excellent oil resistance

It holds up to 380 times its own weight

Figure 4. Mechanical properties of mixed fiber tableware.

The mechanical properties of the mixed fiber and PS tableware were compared. The tensile strength was 35.0 MPa, at least two times higher than that of the PS plastic cup (15.6 MPa), and the Young's modulus was 3.25 GPa, much higher than that of the PS plastic cup (1.40 GPa). A 7.9-gram cup of mixed fiber paper can hold a weight of 3 kilograms and still keep its shape, which is 380 times its own weight.

Carbon dioxide emissions are 97% lower than plastic

The researchers estimated the amount of carbon dioxide emitted during the production of mixed fibre tableware. It is reported that the carbon dioxide emissions of producing 1 kg of foaming PS plastic are 7.36 kg; According to Pro-Carton, the European Association of Carton Manufacturers, the emissions from producing 1 kg of moulded pulp products are 0.22 kg. Therefore, the CO2 emission of molded mixed fiber tableware is 97% lower than that of PS tableware, and 65% lower than that of pass-through paper and PLA plastic tableware.

The cost is close to PS cutlery

In addition to good performance, cheap materials are king. Using statistics from the Plastics Insight-Market Intelligence website, the researchers found that the blended fiber tableware cost $2,333 / ton, half that of PLA ($4,750 / ton) and close to PS ($2,177 / ton).

Conclusion: A hybrid fiber tableware with few faults

Figure 5. Comparison of the advantages of mixed fiber tableware with other materials

In order to solve the increasingly serious "white pollution" problem, Zhu Hongli's research group at Northeastern University in the United States processed bamboo fiber and bagasse fiber by blending → cold pressing → hot pressing, and prepared a fast degradation tableware, which only needs 60 days to degrade 48%. The content of Pb in tableware was 0.3633 mg/kg, which was only 1/8 of the standard. Excellent water and oil resistance; The tensile strength is 35.0 MPa and Young's modulus is 3.25 GPa, which is much higher than PS plastic cup. The CO2 emission of producing 1 kg of products is 0.22 kg, 97% lower than that of PS tableware, and the cost is only $2,333 / ton, which is close to that of PS tableware ($2,177 / ton). From safety, odor, CO2 emissions, cost, biodegradation, abundance and machinability seven aspects were analyzed, it is not hard to see compared with other materials, the tableware of the hybrid fiber materials are perfect in every respect, if mass production, to solve "white pollution" problem all over the world is just around the corner.

Corrugated paper

Corrugated paper is a plate-shaped object formed by the bonding of hanging paper and corrugated paper processed by corrugated roller. It is generally divided into single corrugated board and double corrugated board. The invention and application of corrugated paper has a history of more than 100 years. It has the advantages of low cost, light weight, easy processing, high strength, excellent printing adaptability and convenient storage and handling. More than 80% of corrugated paper can be recycled. Corrugated paper can be used as the packaging of food or digital products, which is relatively environmentally friendly and widely used.

Usage

Type a corrugated and type B corrugated are generally used as transportation outer packing boxes, and beer boxes are generally made of B corrugated. E-shaped corrugated is mostly used as a single packing box with certain aesthetic requirements and appropriate weight contents. F-shaped corrugated and G-shaped corrugated are collectively referred to as micro corrugated. It is an extremely thin corrugated, which is used as a disposable packaging container for hamburgers, cream filled pastries and other foods, or as the packaging of micro electric products such as digital cameras, portable music centers and refrigerated commodities.

Cardboard

Cardboard began at the end of the 18th century. At the beginning of the 19th century, its application has increased significantly because of its light weight, low price, wide range of uses, simple manufacture, and can be recycled or even reused. By the beginning of the 20th century, it had been popularized, popularized and applied to make packaging for all kinds of commodities. Because the packaging container made of cardboard has its unique performance and advantages in beautifying and protecting the inner goods, it has achieved great success in the competition with a variety of packaging materials. So far, it has become one of the main materials for making packaging containers with long-term use and rapid development. Cardboard is made of face paper, lining paper, core paper and corrugated paper processed into waveform corrugated by bonding. According to the demand of commodity packaging, cardboard can be processed into single-sided cardboard, three-layer cardboard, five layer, seven layer and eleven layer cardboard. Single sided cardboard is generally used as the lining protective layer of commodity packaging or to make light grids and backing plates to protect commodities from vibration or collision during storage and transportation. Three-layer and five-layer cardboard are commonly used in making corrugated boxes. The packaging of many goods is simple and exquisite through three or five layers of cardboard. Beautiful and colorful graphics and pictures are printed on the surface of corrugated box or corrugated box, which not only protects the internal goods, but also publicizes and beautifies the internal goods. The cardboard on the seventh or eleventh floor is mainly used to make packaging boxes for Electromechanical, flue-cured tobacco, furniture, motorcycles, large household appliances, etc.

Corrugated box

Corrugated box is made of cardboard. It is the most widely used paper container packaging and is widely used in transportation packaging. Corrugated box is widely used because it has many unique advantages: ① good cushioning performance. ② Light and firm.③Small overall dimensions. ④ Sufficient raw materials and low cost. ⑤ It is convenient for automatic production. ⑥ Low packaging cost. ⑦ Can pack a variety of items. ⑧ Less metal. ⑨ Good printing performance. ⑩ Recyclable and reusable.

Composite plate

Corrugated composite board is a new type of material that is emerging after the introduction of honeycomb paperboard in the United States and Europe. It is a new generation of high-tech achievement with complete intellectual property rights from the whole automatic production line equipment to finished products in China. The finished products have the advantages of light weight, high strength, no deformation, good rigidity, strong cushioning performance, good sound insulation and heat insulation effect. After proper treatment, they can be flame retardant, moisture-proof and waterproof. Moreover, the requirements for raw materials are lower than those of honeycomb paperboard. Recyclable waste paper and old corrugated boxes are used as production raw materials, so the sources of raw materials are wide and sufficient. The finished products can be recycled after use, which meets the environmental protection requirements of resource recycling and has a very wide application prospect. Corrugated composite board can be made into packing boxes and liners of various precision instruments, electromechanical equipment, household appliances and ceramic products, as well as pallets, cushion liners and aviation turnover boxes of various specifications; In terms of building materials, corrugated composite board can be used to make light partition wall, sound insulation board, temperature insulation board, furniture and export disposable beach dining table, as well as the emerging sanitary sterile paper coffin for cremation.

With the improvement of living standards, the quality of the environment has declined, and the white pollution has damaged the environment. We need to use healthier products to protect the environment. Bagasse is one substance that can be utilized.

Do you know about bagasse?

As we all know, sugarcane is one of the main raw materials for sugar production. But did you know that bagasse can be used to make tableware? Bagasse tableware has several advantages.

Advantage 1: Renewable resources

Sugarcane is a fast-growing renewable resource mainly used for sugar refining. And the bagasse is mostly wasted. The use of bagasse to produce tableware can realize the efficient use of resources.

Advantage 2: Compostable

Bagasse is a compostable and biodegradable raw material. It breaks down in about 60 days. Like bagasse boards, it only takes 40~65 days. Leaves no residue and provides rich nutrients to the soil.

Advantage 3: Reduce carbon emissions

Sugarcane is a plant that absorbs carbon dioxide from the air as it grows. At the same time, due to the application of bagasse, people can reduce the use of wood and plastic, thereby reducing global carbon emissions.

At present, we have matured bagasse alternative wood manufacturing technology. It can reduce tree felling and protect the environment. It is the most widely used and most successful type of bagasse tray,bagasse lunch boxes,bagasse bowls.

Advantages of Pulp Molded Products

1. Strong plasticity

Pulp molding equipment produces molded products by creating a variety of molds. The biggest advantage is that it can generate molds according to product specifications and appearance shapes. The pulp molded product produced in this way not only saves material costs greatly, but also fits the shape of the product well, so that the product can be fixed to prevent collision during transportation.

2. Excellent protection and buffering performance

The raw material is bagasse. Therefore, the produced mold is very light and soft, and it has a certain degree of elasticity from its production structure, so the cushioning performance is good; after it is shaped by a specific mould, the overall mould has good rigidity and strength, and has a certain degree of rigidity and strength of protection.

3. Waterproof and oil proof

It also has good permeability and waterproof performance. Because the product it carries is food, for the freshness of the food, the outer wrapping paper must have good air permeability. In order to prevent wet environments such as rain, the molded moisture absorption performance can also be waterproof.

4. Recyclable and cost-saving

Compared with other materials, molded pulp products are more convenient to stack, store and transport, and can be recycled and reshaped after not being used, which greatly reduces our production costs and transportation costs

5. Wide range of raw materials, green and environmental protection

The raw materials required for the production of molded pulp products are very wide, and plant fibers are available, so the utilization rate is high and it is green and environmental friendly.

The first is the classification of paper.

Waste newspapers, books, old textbooks, enterprise brochures, express boxes, packaging boxes, milk boxes, plastic film mulching, carbon paper, wax paper, plastic smooth waste paper, toilet paper, paper diapers and synthetic paper are all paper waste. The recyclable parts of so many kinds of paper waste mainly include waste newspapers, books, old textbooks, enterprise brochures, express boxes, packaging boxes and milk boxes.

Generally, recycled paper products are classified according to their different categories. There are roughly six categories of paper products:

The first category is white waste paper, which refers to the paper without words and pigment contamination that has not been printed or the remaining edges cut during printing in the printing plant.

The second type is the book block, which refers to those books that have not been issued or have been issued but have not been sold after printing.

The third category is those useless books and old newspapers.

The fourth category is our common cardboard box, which is also the most paper waste in our life.

The fifth category is kraft paper, which has high tear strength and dynamic strength. Generally, file bags, old envelopes and paper packaging bags are common.

The sixth category is mixed waste paper, which can only produce the most low-end paper products after recycling.

Plastic film covering, carbon paper, wax paper, plastic glossy waste paper, toilet paper, paper diapers, synthetic paper and other paper wastes are not recyclable and should be disposed of in other wastes. Under special circumstances, the following paper wastes cannot be recycled. Contaminated paper: toilet paper, napkins, diapers, food packaging paper (boxes) immersed in oil stains, etc. cannot be recycled. For some papers with complex components, foreign matters cannot be fully eliminated during regeneration. For example: plastic film, carbon paper, etc. The waterproof paper is attached with a layer of plastic film on the surface, so it is not easy to separate from the paper and cannot be recycled, such as disposable cup, instant noodle cup, etc.

If we know the recycling type of waste paper, why should we recycle it?

Economic value is only a factor to promotewaste paper recycling. When it is impossible to avoid the use of paper products, waste paper recycling plays an inestimable role in the ecological environment. One ton of waste paper can produce 850 kilograms of recycled paper with good quality, save 3 cubic meters of wood, save 100 cubic meters of water, save 300 kilograms of chemical raw materials, save 1.2 tons of coal and save 600 degrees of electricity. According to the production of 20000 tons of office recycled paper, 66000 cubic meters of wood can be saved a year, which is equivalent to protecting 520000 trees or adding 5200 mu of forest. China is rich in waste paper resources. Relevant data show that China's paper consumption is about 35 million tons per year. Based on one-third of the waste, more than 10 million tons of waste paper can be recycled every year. The environmental pollution caused by recycled paper pulping process to the atmosphere and water quality is much lower than that of ordinary paper. The paper industry has a large amount of waste water and wide distribution. It is one of the most polluted industries in China. The production of 1 ton of pulp requires 100 tons (wood pulp) to 400 tons (straw pulp) of water, and most of these sewage needs to be discharged. The black liquor pollution produced by papermaking is the most serious, and 10 tons of black liquor are discharged for every 1 ton of pulp produced. In the manufacturing process of recycled paper, the wastewater discharge can be reduced by 50%. In particular, several processes in the early stage of papermaking can be omitted, and the most polluted black liquor will not be produced.
