What is eco friendly food containers wholesale ?

Eco friendly food containers wholesale refers to the business of distributing in large quantities food containers that are designed to have a minimal impact on the environment. Here's a closer look at wholesale corn starch food containers and sugarcane bagasse food containers:

Corn Starch Food Containers

• Material and Production：Corn starch food containers are mainly made from corn starch, a renewable resource obtained from corn. Through high-tech production processes, corn starch is combined with other additives such as carrier resins, coupling agents, and solvents to form a material that can be molded into various container shapes45.
• Advantages
  • Biodegradability：One of the most significant advantages is their biodegradability. In suitable natural environments, these containers can decompose within months to a year, returning to nature as nutrients and causing no long-term pollution like traditional plastic containers3.
  • Safety and Non-Toxicity：Made from natural corn starch and other harmless additives, they are free from harmful substances such as plasticizers and bisphenol A, ensuring the safety of the food they contain345.
  • Good Physical Properties：They have good density, are water and oil resistant, and prevent food leakage. They can also withstand high and low temperatures, being suitable for use in microwaves and refrigerators45.
• Disadvantages：Corn starch containers may have relatively lower mechanical strength compared to some plastic containers, making them more prone to damage under rough handling. Additionally, their heat resistance has limits, and they may deform or soften at extremely high temperatures.
• Applications：They are widely used in the food industry, especially for packaging takeout food, snacks, desserts, and other items. They are also popular for use in picnics, parties, and other outdoor activities.

Sugarcane Bagasse Food Containers

• Material and Production：Sugarcane bagasse food containers are made from the fibrous residue left after sugarcane is crushed and its juice is extracted. The sugarcane bagasse is pulped and processed into a pulp material that is then molded and dried to form various types of containers2.
• Advantages
  • Natural and Renewable：Sugarcane bagasse is a natural and abundant renewable resource, making these containers an environmentally friendly choice. Using sugarcane bagasse helps reduce waste and makes use of a byproduct that would otherwise be discarded.
  • 100% Biodegradable and Compostable：They can be completely decomposed in natural environments or composting facilities, returning to the soil without leaving any harmful residues2.
  • Unique Appearance and Texture：The natural fibers in sugarcane bagasse give the containers an elegant and unique matte texture, adding a touch of natural beauty to the packaging and enhancing the overall aesthetic of the food presentation.
  • Good Heat Resistance：They can withstand high temperatures to a certain extent, making them suitable for packaging hot food items.
• Disadvantages：Sugarcane bagasse containers may be more expensive to produce compared to some traditional plastic containers, which can affect their price in the wholesale market. In addition, their water resistance may not be as good as some plastic or coated containers, and they may need to be used with liners or coatings for certain applications.
• Applications：They are commonly used for packaging various food items, including takeout meals, fast food, bakery products, and even in institutional settings such as schools and cafeterias. They are also popular for use in events and parties where an environmentally friendly option is preferred
