What is biodegradable corn starch tableware?

Cornstarch biodegradable tableware is a biodegradable product. It uses corn starch as the main raw material and is processed through high-tech production technology.  The starch content in such tableware can reach up to 80%, which can be degraded by itself under natural conditions, avoiding environmental pollution and saving non-renewable resources such as petroleum.

Advantages of corn starch tableware:

1. Harmless:  Disposable corn starch tableware is a new type of starch tableware developed by high-tech such as corn starch, which is harmless to the human body.

2. Biodegradable: The starch tableware product is buried in the soil and can degrade to form carbon dioxide and water after 90 days at a suitable temperature without causing pollution to the soil and air. 

3. High quality: starch tableware products have good density, water resistance, oil resistance, anti-soaking, good low temperature and high temperature resistance, can be used in microwave oven and refrigerator.  

4. No odor: with corn starch as raw material, the product has light popcorn fragrance.  

5.Low carbon has strong substitutability: It can replace plastic products made of petroleum and paper products made of wood.

Why choose biodegradable corn starch tableware? 

Among all types of starch, “Corn” is a great source of plant residues. It has many benefits such as high starch levels, excellent consistency, biodegradability and it is widely available. Corn is also known as the world’s most widely available agricultural cereals. Corn has six types. The types are flour, dent, flint, pop, pod, and sweet corn. The properties of all the kinds vary significantly because of environmental effects. In 2020, corn production was almost 4 billion tons that represents 31% of global cereal production. This number makes corn become the third-largest food grain in the world.

Corn has few stems that attach to a short root. After harvesting, parts of the plant become disposable waste. Corn is the main source of starch. Alpha-related glucose, which is usually slippery, water-retaining, and bulking agent, is used in food factories. Most corn starch kernel is starch and a mixture of being sugar, protein, oil, and ash. natural fibers such as stems, straw and leaves can be extracted from corn. Compared to other agricultural bio-products, corn fibers has different properties such as 90% storage and greater availability than other natural fibers.

So corn starch tableware can save resources, corn starch is a renewable resource that is inexhaustible and inexhaustible, while paper tableware and plastic tableware require a lot of wood and petrochemical products. Using corn starch as raw material can save a lot of petroleum resources and forest resources.
