In late September, the National Paper Standardization Committee stated that in order to standardize the production of food-contact products and protect consumer safety, in the future, the paper and pulp molded tableware for food packaging will set national standards.
Laminated paper for food packaging refers to a coated paper used for packaging foods with paper as a substrate, single-sided or double-sided coating of PE, PP, PET or a film containing these three kinds of materials. cardboard. Common commercially available food packaging laminating papers include low-volume coated papers such as hamburgers and cakes, and kraft paper-based laminating paper for holding dried fruits such as seeds, used to process paper cups, paper bowls, and paper meals. High-quality coated paper and cardboard for boxes, etc.
There are many types and quantities of coated paper for food packaging, which are materials that are in direct contact with food. At present, there is no corresponding standard in China to regulate such products. The newly developed national standard will specify the safety performance (hygiene index, raw materials), physical properties (quantitative deviation, banner thickness difference, film quantitative deviation, adhesion degree, grease resistance, leakage, and dyne) of coated paper for food packaging, delivery of water) and other indicators.
Pulp molded tableware refers to a paper tableware obtained by forming, molding, drying and other processes of pulp, including a molded paper cup, a molded paper bowl, a molded paper lunch box, a molded paper tray, a molded paper dish, and the like. This kind of product uses raw fiber pulp as raw material, its strength is better than other similar products, and it has high recycling value and can be degraded. It is regarded as green and environmentally friendly products, but there is no national standard for molding paper tableware. In order to improve the standard system of meal paper products, the National Paper Standardization Committee will formulate the National Standard for Pulp Molded Tableware. The standard will stipulate the safety performance (hygiene index, raw materials), physical properties (dimensions deviation, capacity deviation, water leakage, temperature resistance, cup stiffness, weight-bearing performance, compression resistance, lid fold test, pulp molded tableware) Drop test, moisture) and other indicators.
