With the development of science and technology and the advancement of technical processing technology, aluminum foil lunch boxes can completely replace plastic lunch boxes. The advantages of aluminum foil lunch boxes are that they are clean energy, recyclable and heatable, and the utilization rate and coverage of foreign aluminum foil lunch boxes are much higher than traditional plastic lunch boxes. However, in China, because restaurants consider more about the cost, they use more plastic lunch boxes, but with the improvement of production technology and the improvement of people's protection awareness and literacy, the cost problem is no longer a problem. This also eliminates the important factors that restrain the development trend of aluminum foil boxes. The improvement of people's protection awareness has also replaced traditional plastic boxes and upgraded to more environmentally friendly aluminum foil boxes. Therefore, the complete replacement of plastic boxes by aluminum foil boxes is the trend of the development trend of the historical background.
Compared with the vast restaurant and food packaging material sales market in my country, aluminum foil boxes and utensils cannot be generally promoted in marketing. There are many reasons for this situation. Among them, price factors, customer cognition, and the convenience of marketing and distribution are three key reasons. A large part of the catering industry is in market competition. In order to better control costs, it is necessary to choose low-quality and low-priced plastic lunch boxes such as low-end polyurethane foam lunch boxes. Aluminum foil lunch boxes are high-end products in many companies and customers and can only be used on flights. But in fact, due to the decline in raw material prices and the improvement of production and manufacturing technology, the current comparison between aluminum foil and standard plastic lunch boxes and biodegradable lunch boxes is very close. Considering the cost that can be reduced in terms of procurement, water conservation, storage and transportation, heating, environmental protection and energy saving, the advantages of high cost performance have emerged. The public has a shallow understanding of aluminum foil lunch boxes, the advantages of aluminum foil lunch boxes, the protection of their own physical and mental health, and the dedication to sustainable development. The awareness and habit of application are not strong... Many customers and restaurant staff have misunderstandings. For example, they think that the use of aluminum foil tableware will cause aluminum poisoning, and that aluminum contains excessive heavy metals and other harmful substances. In fact, the surface of aluminum foil has a high-density air oxidation layer, and the organic chemical properties of the air oxidation layer are relatively stable. If it is in a strong alkaline natural environment, aluminum ions are not difficult to precipitate, then the normal storage of food, production and processing applications, there is no problem at all.
To put it bluntly, aluminum poisoning is caused by the application of irrelevant food additives and has nothing to do with aluminum foil packaging. In fact, in foreign countries, aluminum foil utensils and aluminum foil boxes have entered hotels, department stores, and families, and are widely used. Many people also mistakenly believe that aluminum foil is "tin foil paper" and subjectively believe that it is a rare resource. Excessive heavy metals also endanger the promotion and application of aluminum foil. At this stage, my country is already the number one producer and exporter of aluminum foil, and is also a relatively large exporter of aluminum foil products including aluminum foil utensils. However, due to consumer habits and acceptance, China's consumption of aluminum foil boxes and utensils is small, and aluminum foil box manufacturers mostly focus on market sales at the import and export level. The market sales and distribution network of aluminum foil lunch boxes and utensils in my country is imperfect, the scope of brand promotion is not large, and the initial and final capital investment and cost of market development are also very large. In addition, my country's production, manufacturing and market sales of other unqualified lunch boxes and tableware are insufficient, and the market demand discipline is quite chaotic, which restricts the wider application of aluminum foil lunch boxes and packaging materials.
