With the coming of spring, camping is becoming a popular choice for an outside journey. However, finding a container to contain the foods has become a problem. If we choose home-use tableware, washing them will be difficult, while choosing disposable plastic containers will cause environmental pollution. In addition, other eco-friendly food containers can not meet consumer needs for both visibility and environmental protection. In order to provide clients with a perfect camping experience, YUTOECO self-developed a total plant fiber food container solution with a transparent lid, featuring a fresh appearance, eco-friendly materials, excellent fogging resistance and heat insulation. This series of plant fiber containers feature 3 different colors and styles. Consumers can choose different styles according to the food, which can better integrate the foods and containers. For brand clients, we can also add different pulp materials, such as coffee grounds, into the pulp to be better integrated with clients’ brand philosophy. With the features of light, thin, and easy to stack, it is convenient for consumers to bring them to camping places. The transparent film is made from wooden fiber, features antifog, waterproof, transparent, heat seal, etc., which can be biodegraded in natural conditions. Haloge-free makes it meet the standards of food contact packaging materials. Camping and picnics are great ways to go out in spring, and desserts make spring picnics even sweeter. Yutong Environmental Protection appeals to everyone to actively use environmentally friendly containers during the journey, eliminate waste that is difficult to degrade, create a sustainable lifestyle, and continue the beautiful scenery of nature.

With the plastic packaging ban in the global market and the increase in consumers' awareness of environmental protection, the market needs for innovative plant fiber packaging has also been increasing. While due to the unbiodegradable performance of PFAS, it is called the "Forever Chemical". At present, the control for PFAS has become more and more strict in the global market. Many countries and regions, such as China, the EU, many states of the US, and Japan, have launched laws to forbid the use of PFOS and PFOA. According to the US consumer report in August 2020, this kind of substance can stay in the human body for a very long time and affects human health. YUTOECO keeps up with the pace of the market and times, continuously increasing the investments for the R&D of new technologies and new processes to improve the quality and safety of our products. After continuous research and development, YUTOECO has launched 3 innovative PFAS-free solutions for molded fiber catering packaging, including additive in pulp, lamination and dip-coating. Additive in Pulp · Without leakage under 20-70℃ within 30 minutes (* Different PFAS-free agents feature different temperature ranges) · Oven safe · No need to change the current production line · The PFAS-free formulations have passed the BPI certificates, which is home compostable Lamination · Without performance change and grease leakage under -20-180℃ （Different lamination solutions feature different temperature ranges） · High-barrier performance allows a long-time waterproof and greaseproof · Diversified lamination solutions to choose (PLA, PBAT, EVOH, PE, etc.) · No need to change the current production line Dip coating · Without leakage under 95℃ within 30 minutes · Prevent the rice from sticking on the container, wearproof · Microwave and oven safe · Home compostable Besides focusing on environmental protection and replacing plastic, YUTOECO always put food safety on top. PFAS-free plant fiber catering packaging is not only the alternative to traditional single-use plastic food containers, but also it can effectively reduce the harm of food packaging to the human body and the environment. In the future, YUTOECO will continuously innovate and research to provide clients with more eco-friendly renewable and biodegradable food packaging.

On June 30, 2020, Mcdonald's announced that thousands of canteens located in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, will stop using plastic straws. Consumers can drink the cold drink directly with the new style of the lid. This measure will reduce about 400 tons of plastic per year. Nowadays, Mcdonald's has upgraded their cup lids, allowing consumers to drink cola and juice without straws. What's more, Starbucks and HEYTEA were also reducing the use of disposable plastic straws. In April 2019, Starbuck stopped using plastic straws in Shanghai and Shenzhen. For normal drinks, consumers could use a new-developed cup lid for drinking directly; for other drinks that need straws, Starbuck provides paper straws for drinking. According to the media, as of Dec. 31, 2019, Starbuck had finished changing the disposable straw in all their stores in China, which can realize their promise of stopping using plastic straws in China before 2020. HEYTEA began to promote paper in 2019. According to the report, as of the end of 2019, about 14.4% of consumers choose paper straws as their favorite types. According to data from iiMedia Research, the scale of the takeaway industry increased so fast in recent years, and the takeaway scale reached 653.6 billion in China in 2019. The development of the takeaway industry brings a lot of convenience to our daily lives, while a large amount of tableware uses takeaway bags also accelerates environmental pollution. In early 2019, Zhanglei, Shanghai CPPCC member and market supervision bureau deputy director, said that the takeaway industry increased so fast, about 2 million orders per day, needing lots of tableware and bags, which caused new white pollution. Meituan and ELEME are also aware of the problem of environmental pollution in the takeaway industry. For example, Meituan held an event called "Qingshan Plan" in 2017 to promote the environmentally friendly process of the takeaway industry, including adding a selection of "Don't need tableware", using paper to replace plastic, establishing a special fund for environmental protection, etc. YUTOECO is also listed on the first batch of the green packaging recommendation lists. According to industry insiders, reducing plastic use on straws is easy to realize, such as changing the design of cup lids or replacing the plastic straw with paper straws. While reducing the use of plastic meal boxes also faces the problem of high costs and raw material shortage. Nowadays, we mainly use plastic meal boxes in China, such as PP, PS, PET, etc. All materials mentioned above are recyclable, but citizens' awareness of garbage sorting is still weak, which causes it hard to recycle. The cost of biodegradable tableware is once or twice higher than plastic meal boxes. Many large corporations will cost thousands of money only to replace plastic straws. However, environmental protection is urgent! According to the announcement of Further Strengthen the Dealing of Plastic Pollution Opinions launc...
