    Disposable paper cups contain bisphenol A

    Bisphenol A is not only widely added to plastic daily necessities, but also can be found in paper products. Relevant experts have selected some common daily necessities for group comparison and measurement. First of all, the comparative determination of the bisphenol A content of disposable paper cups, disposable plastic cups and disposable lunch boxes shows that the concentration of bisphenol A in disposable paper cups is the highest, nearly 30 times that of disposable plastic cups, which is very surprising.

    In the subsequent experiment, the experts poured the tap water containing BPA into a disposable paper cup, and after a while, the content of BPA in the tap water in the cup rose to 36 times higher.

    Experts believe that this is because disposable paper cups have the most processing steps. Generally speaking, the more processing steps a product takes, the higher the BPA content will be. Another group of experiments tested rainwater, bottled purified water and tap water in Nanjing.

    The results showed that the concentration of BPA in rainwater was the highest, more than 7 times that of tap water, while the concentration of BPA in bottled purified water was not "pure", and the concentration of BPA in it was twice that of tap water. This shows that the bisphenol A contained in plastic containers will dissolve into the water and enter the human body. It is understood that the PC material with better quality is used.

    Plastic cups made of plastic generally have no plastic smell. The poor quality is generally made by mixing PC materials with other materials, and the plastic smell is heavier, and the poor quality plastic cup will eliminate the odor after about a week, but long-term use will produce toxic substances and cause harm to the body. Moreover, some poor quality plastic cups will precipitate some chemicals after being heated, and the plastic surface looks smooth, but in fact there are many voids, which are easy to breed a large number of bacteria.

    Disposable paper cups and plastic cups are not good from a health point of view.

    Disposable paper cups and plastic will be better, but both have a bad side, so it is better to use less as much as possible.

    1.Disposable paper cups are made with wax in order to prevent water penetration when pouring water, and this kind of cup is not known to have soluble organic elements in it, while plastic cups are made of polyethylene or polypropylene which are non-toxic organic elements. 2.

    Plastic cups are relatively transparent and better than white. The white one is with a coloring agent added. 3.

    What happens if a plastic cup smells bad when you pour boiling water? The plastic mug you buy is not made of polyethylene or polypropylene, it may be made of polyvinyl chloride, which is slightly toxic and has an unpleasant taste when exposed to hot water.

    Both disposable paper cups and plastic cups can be used to hold water, as for which one is better, it still depends on the actual situation. Paper cups are made of food-grade wood pulp paper and food-grade PE film, which has the characteristics of easy degradation and high heat resistance, but may contain bisphenol A. This is because there are many processing steps for disposable paper cups, and the more processing steps there are in the product, the higher the BPA content may be.

    Most of the disposable plastic cups on the market are made of PC material or PP material, which can be used to hold hot drinks, good plastic cups, no plastic smell, will not produce toxic substances, but some poor quality plastic cups will precipitate some chemicals after heating. It should be noted that the surface of disposable plastic cups looks smooth, but in fact there are many voids, which are easy to breed a large number of bacteria. Therefore, if you only consider it from a health point of view, disposable paper cups and plastic cups are not good, and it is not recommended to use them for a long time.

    The disposable cups on the market are basically either disposable paper cups or disposable plastic cups, and the two do not say which will be healthier, as long as the production is compliant and regularInstead of focusing on which is healthier, it is better to pay attention to the production of the brand of disposable cups, if the production is not compliant and the raw materials are poor, then whether it is a paper cup or a plastic cup, it is harmful to the human body to use (especially when holding hot water).

    Generally, it is felt that compared to plastic cups, paper cups will be more environmentally friendly, but this may not be the case, the non-degradability of plastics is believed to be clear to everyone, but the inside of paper cups or paper containers will also be coated, and the inside of paper cups is generally wax or polyethylene, so that it will not be absorbed when drinking hot and cold, and paper cups will not be so easy to deform. However, because of the coating of wax or polyethylene, paper cups have become the reason why we are not allowed in our current process.

    In recent years, the world, including China, has been researching and developing degradable substances that can replace polyethylene, such as PLA, which is a bioplastic, made of renewable plants such as corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes, which can be degraded into carbon dioxide and water in the next month under the action of microorganisms. Now there are companies independently developing and producing PLA coated paper cups, which are a kind of cups between paper cups and plastic cups, and the PLA coating is applied to the outside of the paper cups, making the paper cups stronger and resistant to cold and heat, and will be more environmentally friendly than plastic cups.

    All in all, it is recommended that everyone reduce the use of disposable products. And whether you use a paper cup or a plastic cup, it is not recommended to hold water that is too hot.

    The details are as follows: disposable paper cups are made with wax in the production process, and the poor quality also has a peculiar smell, which is not good for the body, and the paper also contains soluble organic elements in it to strengthen the strength of the paper, while the plastic cups are made of polyethylene or polypropylene They are non-toxic organic elements.

    Natural breakdown of the point time. Such a cup is relatively transparent and better than white. The white one is with a coloring agent added.

    There is also a plastic cup that smells unpleasant when pouring boiling water, the plastic cup you buy is not made of polyethylene or polypropylene, it may be made of polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl chloride is slightly toxic, and it has an unpleasant taste when it encounters hot water.

    In this way, you can divide the good from the bad. Paper cups are environmentally friendly, but they don't care about health, and plastic ones are good for the body, but they are not environmentally friendly. In general, paper cups are better.

    Knowledge expansion: disposable paper cups, ordinary glasses, and plastic cups, which are good for drinking water for the body

    Ordinary glasses are healthy to drink with water, as they can be washed and disinfected frequently. Disposable paper cups and plastic cups are not very easy to sterilize during the production process.

    And some black processing points are a lot of waste materials reproduction, even if it has passed the customs, it is difficult to say, there are many circulation channels and links, our people have spot-checked a lot of these disposable supplies, and the degree of confidence is generally worrying.

    Precautions for using paper cups

    1. Some of the paper cups sold in the market are made of white cardboard, which is impermeable to wax, mainly for dry things, which is relatively safe, but the disadvantage is that it cannot hold water and oil.

    2. Pay attention to the fact that the water in disposable paper cups becomes hard when heated, and it is better to hold hot drinks. The plastic cup becomes hard when it is cold, and it is better to hold cold drinks. Paper-plastic cups cannot be filled with oily things, and oil can penetrate plastic.

    3. Because phosphor and ink are very permeable and will contaminate food, paper cups should not be heated in the microwave oven as much as possible.

Authentication. When choosing a paper cup, you must pay attention to whether there is a QS certification mark. We all know that paper cups will be coated with a layer of polyethylene waterproof film in order to play the role of water insulation, but some businesses will use recycled polyethylene as a waterproof film in order to reduce costs, this kind of recycled polyethylene is very harmful to the body, so pay attention to whether there is a QS mark when choosing. Because the QS mark is a qualified product inspected by the quality supervision department, and the use of recycled polyethylene as a water barrier film must be a substandard product, so as long as we find the QS mark and enter the certification number on the mark into the national or provincial quality inspection, we can easily see whether the selected goods are qualified goods. >>>More
