What are the hazards of disposable paper bowls?

The hazards of disposable paper bowls mainly include the following points:

Hygiene hazard: Some processing plants may use recycled paper to make paper bowls, and may use cheap and toxic industrial adhesives and ink that does not meet "food grade" standards for processing. These harmful substances can easily penetrate the inner walls of tableware, posing a potential threat to human health. (Source: Baidu Baike)

Material issue: The inner wall of the paper bowl is usually coated with a layer of polyethylene waterproof film. However, if the material is not selected properly or the process is not up to standard, this substance may oxidize into carbonyl compounds, which can easily evaporate when heated. Long term ingestion may be harmful to health. Especially some small workshops may use prohibited recycled polyethylene waterproofing membranes. (Source: Baidu Baike)

Environmental pollution and resource waste: The extensive use of disposable paper bowls not only wastes resources, but also causes a great burden on the environment. The production of paper bowls requires a large amount of wood, leading to uncontrolled deforestation and difficult degradation, which damages the surface soil. In addition, the production of pulp itself can also bring serious environmental pollution. (Source: Baidu Baike)

In summary, for personal health and environmental protection, it is recommended to reduce the use of disposable paper bowls, bring your own tableware, or use biodegradable materials for tableware.
