The Hazards Of Paper Bowls
Leave a message
Firstly, behind this seemingly clean disposable paper bowl lies a huge hygiene hazard. Many processing plants use recycled paper to make paper bowls, while some small workshops use cheap and toxic industrial adhesives to stick paper bowls. Additionally, the ink used to print on some paper bowls is not "food grade" ink, but industrial ink, which can easily penetrate the inner walls of tableware and harm health. Some industry insiders claim that the reason why paper bowls can hold water is because the inner walls are coated with a layer of polyethylene waterproof film,
But if the selected materials are not good or the process is not up to standard, this substance may oxidize into carbonyl compounds. Carbonyl compounds are prone to volatilization when heated, causing people to smell strange odors. Long term intake of this substance is very harmful, especially as some small factories still use banned recycled polyethylene waterproof films. In order to make it look beautiful, the manufacturer added a large amount of fluorescent whitening agents. Once these harmful substances enter the human body, they can cause cell mutations and become potential carcinogenic factors.
Secondly, behind this paper bowl that only sells for two cents, there is actually a huge waste of money and resources. With the improvement of living standards, perhaps two cents is nothing to everyone, but have you ever calculated such an account: in the more than ten student canteens of Wuhan University, if we calculate that each canteen sells 200 Chinese and dinner meals per day, the school will have to consume nearly 5000 paper bowls in a day, and spend 1000 yuan on these disposable paper bowls in a day.
If the school cafeteria operates for 270 days per year, then the annual waste is 270000 yuan! What's even more serious is the huge consumption of wood required to produce this type of paper bowl, which leads to uncontrolled deforestation, difficulties in degradation, damage to the soil surface, and serious environmental pollution caused by the production of pulp itself!
Once again, behind this seemingly insignificant behavior of using paper bowls is actually a reflection of unhealthy lifestyle habits. The reason why paper bowls are chosen by many students is mainly because they are easy to carry and can be thrown directly into the trash can after use. In fact, this is a manifestation of a lazy lifestyle. Many people hate using this type of paper bowl to eat from the bottom of their hearts and prefer to eat with their own utensils, but they have to clean them themselves instead of using their own utensils
The paper bowl thrown away undoubtedly suits his taste! I think such a behavior of not even bothering to clean one's own utensils is not beneficial for college students to develop good living habits. Some students do not throw their used paper bowls into the trash can, but instead walk there and throw them wherever they go. This not only creates a huge burden on the cleaning work of the campus and dormitories, but also has a destructive impact on our most beautiful campus in China! Especially worth mentioning is that this disposable paper bowl provides great convenience for many otaku and otaku to practice "behind closed doors"!
