Promote the global plastic ban cause, molded fiber (pulp) product is the ideal alternative

1. pulp molding overview

Pulp molding is also called (plant) fiber molding, which is the process of making the fiber in the pulp into a wet blank, and then drying and solidifing the wet blank. Plant fiber in the suck-filter forming molds first through suck-filter forming, made into wet blank, The wet blank is sent into the heating molds heated to a certain temperature, clamp the hot pressure mold and dry the wet blank, to make the molded fiber (pulp) products of various shapes.

Molded fiber food packaging mainly include pulp molded tableware, molded fiber plates and bowls，molded fiber meal boxes, molded fiber instant noodle bowls, molded pulp dishes, molded fiber cups, molded fiber clean dishes, etc.; Molded pulp industrial packages products mainly include the shock-proof internal packaging of electronic products, medical instruments, gifts and other industrial products. In recent years, these molded pulp industrial packages products have become more sophisticated and delicate.

The degradable molded fiber products are made of annual herb fiber pulp (bagasse, reed, wheat straw, bamboo, etc.) as raw materials, adding additives, after special treatment, heating and pressing the pulp on the mold.

2. Unique performance advantages of molded fiber products:

(1)Molded fiber products are environmentally friendly and naturally degradable. The pulp molding products buried in the soil can be completely naturally degraded within 3 months under the action of microorganisms, and do not need centralized compost treatment. Molded fiber products can be naturally degraded and recycled, which is an environment-friendly product.

(2)The molded pulp products stored in the room can be placed for long periods before use (usually for 10 years) without aging and brittle or deterioration.Recycling cost is low and can be reused.

(3)Pulp molded tableware products have a certain strength, good texture, smooth appearance; Molded pulp fine packaging products are more delicate appearance.

(4)EAMC pulp molding machine is versatile, The EAMC automatic pulp molding production line replacement mold can easily change product types.

EAMC full-automatic molded pulp tableware machine and EAMC full-automatic pulp molding machine for fine packaging products are currently more advanced high yield and automatic pulp molding equipment.

(5)Molded fiber products have good waterproof and oil resistance properties. In the manufacture of pulp molding, the amount of the additives can produce waterproof, oil prevention effect. Good air permeability, which has unique benefits to the packaging of fresh products.

(6)Raw materials have a wide source and a low cost. It is mainly an annual herb fiber raw pulp or with waste paper as raw materials, can be taken according to local conditions, local materials, inexhaustible.

The pulp factory can use wet raw pulp (bleach or natural pulp) for raw materials; other pulp molding factory can use commercial pulp.

(7)Less water consumption, no waste water discharge, to meet the requirements of clean production.

(8)Pulp molding products have good air permeability and have unique benefits to the packaging of fresh products.

(9)Molded pulp products used for molded pulp fine packaging have good seismic and cushioning effect, which can effectively protect the products from damage on the road.

(10)According to the different requirements of the user, the surface quality, color, pictures and other appearance elements can be processed on the product, post-processing.

(11)Recycling cost is low and can be reused.

(12)Modern production technology can achieve high-speed, automated mass production.

3. Advantages of molded fiber products over degradable plastic products:

(1) Degradable plastics need to be recycled and compost to be completely degraded; molded fiber products are buried in the soil for 3 months without centralized compost.

(2) The degradable plastic will age and brittle after 6 months; pulp molding can be placed for a long time (usually 10 years) will not aging and brittle or deterioration.

(3) Aging and brittle biodegradable plastic lose reuse value, there is no recycling value; molded pulp products are easy to recover with low cost and repeated use.

(4) It is difficult to visually distinguish which of the waste plastics are biodegradable plastics and which are ordinary plastics. If ordinary plastic is mixed with biodegradable plastic, then ordinary recycled plastic can not be reused, so degradable plastic not only does not have its own recycling value, but also cause the recycling of ordinary plastic is very difficult.

Pulp molded products are truly biodegradable and environmentally friendly products and a more feasible alternative to some plastic products.

4. Limitations and disadvantages of pulp molding products:

Pulp molding products cannot be applied in plastic bags, agricultural film and other aspects.

With the increasing application research on plant fiber (pulp) molding products, Molded fiber products will play a greater role in the international plastic ban action.
