Are the materials used in the production of water cups the same as safe materials and environmentally friendly materials?

Hello everyone, "Dong Dong Talks About Cups" is here. Welcome to continue watching the new content brought by the editor today: "Are the materials used in the production of water cups the same as safe materials and environmentally friendly materials?" The editor is always in professional habit. When shopping online, I always look at the products of my peers. http://www.umbottle.com/ProductsDetail-VB-10488.htmlAfter looking at them a lot, the editor found a problem. Many merchants are not clear about the concept of production materials used in water cups when promoting water cups. The most common ones are safe materials and environmentally friendly materials. Next, the editor will tell you what is safe material and what is environmentally friendly material through some examples?


A certain stainless steel thermos cup merchant not only mentioned that the cup body is 316 medical grade stainless steel, but also said that the overall material of the cup is environmentally friendly. The editor carefully read the product details page and found that the cup cover is made of plastic and silicone, and the plastic material is PP and AS. http://www.umbottle.com/ProductsDetail-VB-10488.htmlIn this case, the merchant's promotion is inaccurate. 316 stainless steel, PP, AS, and silicone materials can be safe materials, but they are not environmentally friendly materials. Both stainless steel and the plastic silicone materials used in them are difficult to degrade in nature, causing pollution to the natural environment, so they cannot be called environmentally friendly materials.


At this point, some friends will definitely ask, why can't stainless steel be called an environmentally friendly material? It can be recycled, isn't that environmentally friendly? The editor searched the Internet for the definition of environmentally friendly materials: renewable materials, degradable materials and low-carbon materials. Renewable materials refer to materials that can reduce dependence on natural resources through recycling and reuse, such as wood, biomass materials and renewable plastics. http://www.umbottle.com/ProductsDetail-VB-10488.htmlAlthough it is not explicitly stated that stainless steel is a renewable material, stainless steel can be recycled, so it is a renewable material. However, since stainless steel produces a large amount of pollutants that pollute the atmosphere and the environment during production, and recycling and reproduction will also pollute the atmosphere and the environment, stainless steel is not an environmentally friendly material.


Among the plastic materials used in the production of water cups, there are currently no environmentally friendly materials. These materials can be crushed and decomposed again and used as materials for the production of plastic products, but most of them can no longer be used as raw materials for the production of water cups. Therefore, the concept that the merchant said that the overall material used in the water cup is environmentally friendly is wrong.http://www.umbottle.com/ProductsDetail-VB-10488.html Can it be said that they are all safe materials? Even if it is changed to all safe materials, it is not rigorous. Plastic material AS is not a completely safe material. It will release bisphenol A in an environment above 70 degrees Celsius. The editor just shared with you what bisphenol A is? What are the hazards of bisphenol A to the human body? Interested friends can read it, so AS is not a safe material. Merchants can describe that the materials used in the production of water cups are all food-grade materials, which is no problem.


The pure PLA material and various plant fiber materials currently used in the production of water cups are environmentally friendly materials. These materials can degrade by themselves in the natural environment. http://www.umbottle.com/ProductsDetail-VB-10488.htmlThe substances in the degradation products are harmless to the natural environment, and the impact of these materials on the environment during production is also very small.


Are the materials used in the production of water cups the same as safe materials and environmentally friendly materials?
