Technical question fifteen, Why is wooden material rarely used in the design of water cups?

Some customers consulted us and put forward design ideas, hoping to combine wood and water cup design. Is it advisable to add more wood elements to the water cup? Can it be realized according to the customer's idea?

As we all know, water cup is an indispensable drinking tool in people's daily life and work, so countries around the world have very strict food safety requirements for water cups. This includes the bottle body (in contact with the water) and the lid of the water cup, which are all required by clear requirements.

The materials of water cups that people use daily are roughly divided into these types: stainless steel, aluminum, plastic (including silica gel), glass material, melanine, and rare metals (titanium, silver, gold), etc. At present, wood is not classified as a processing material for water cups due to its difficult to control and unstable characteristics.

At present, there are some combinations of water cups and bamboo on the market, but only bamboo is used as the outer shell of the product or the decorative parts on the lid of the cup cannot directly contact the water. Wood is easy to breed bacteria in contact with water, and wood is easy to rot after long-term use. These are the reasons why wood can't be used on a drinking glass and directly contact with water.

The reason why each water cup production factory does not use wood as the water cup production accessories is that when the water cup is exported, once there are wooden accessories, it needs to be fumigated. The requirements for fumigation in every country and region are different, so this is the reason why wood materials are rarely used in the water cup industry so far.
