In order to improve the living environment and make our best efforts to contribute to green development and sustainable development, we must cultivate the good habit of garbage classification from an early age. What kind of garbage does the takeaway lunch box belong to? The takeaway lunch boxes on the market can be divided into three categories: foam lunch boxes, plastic lunch boxes, and aluminum foil lunch boxes.
According to relevant reports, the transaction volume of the takeaway industry continues to rise, and the user utilization rate is also rising steadily. More and more netizens use takeaways to solve three meals a day or afternoon tea and supper. With the increase in the number of takeaway orders, it has brought convenience to people, but it has brought considerable pressure to the environment. Plastic lunch boxes or foam lunch boxes that are used for an average of 1-2 hours will take decades or even hundreds of years to degrade naturally. Aluminum foil lunch boxes are recyclable garbage. At this time, the advantages of aluminum foil lunch box containers in recycling are highlighted and surpass other materials. The environmental advantages of aluminum foil lunch boxes are:
1. Aluminum foil lunch boxes and containers are recyclable
2. Even if aluminum foil lunch boxes and containers are incinerated to generate electricity, aluminum slag will be recycled after increasing energy efficiency
3. Even if lunch boxes and containers are buried, they are harmless and degradable
4. Aluminum metal containers are non-toxic and will not produce harmful substances in normal use. The so-called aluminum poisoning has nothing to do with aluminum metal. It is all caused by excessive aluminum ions in food additives. At present, there is no case in the world that can prove that aluminum metal causes human poisoning.
Aluminum foil lunch boxes and containers will gradually become packaging materials for urban catering takeaways and food packaging markets that implement garbage sorting in the future.
Tips for recycling aluminum foil lunch boxes:
1. Clean the food residue in the lunch box. If conditions permit, rinse it and shake off the water. However, it doesn’t matter if there is a small amount of residue, which will be vaporized during smelting.
2. Flatten or fold the aluminum foil lunch box and throw it into the recycling bin for transfer and sorting.
