For today's fast-paced life, takeout has become the most convenient and worry-free canteen. Even though takeout has been labeled unhealthy, unhygienic, and environmentally unfriendly in the past two years, heat-sealed aluminum foil lunch boxes will become the best way to solve three meals. Behind the huge volume of takeout orders, there are problems of resource waste and environmental pollution that cannot be ignored. A large amount of catering packaging waste, plastic or foam lunch boxes, plastic bags, disposable chopsticks, etc., constitute the main part of takeout garbage. Let's not talk about the impact of takeout on the body, but we need to be vigilant about the hidden dangers of the environment alone. How serious is the environmental pollution caused by "takeout garbage"?
According to conservative estimates based on public data, the total daily order volume of the three major takeout platforms, Ele.me, Meituan Takeout, and Baidu Takeout, is about 20 million. Calculated as one plastic bag per takeout order and 0.06 square meters per plastic bag, the plastic bags used every day can cover an area of ??1.2 million square meters, covering 168 football fields. With the further upgrading of the national plastic restriction order, plastic products are struggling, while aluminum foil lunch boxes not only have good thermal insulation effect and high barrier properties, but also can be heated by open flames and are heat-resistant. They are recyclable, recyclable, safe and non-toxic, and other advantages that cannot be replaced by foam plastic tableware. Therefore, heat-sealed aluminum foil lunch boxes have gradually become the first choice for restaurants and chains.
