According to experts, businesses in the foodservice sector are turning to disposable food containers and packaging materials, especially to prevent the spread of epidemics.
Recently, there has been an increasing demand for disposable packaging. One of the most important factors for people to turn to disposable packaging is hygiene. Many disposable products are personalized and are the best option for hygiene.
Appropriate packaging selection is also extremely important for businesses. For this reason, especially catering and fast food companies prefer sealed plastic containers, glasses and lids.
However, the effects of the materials used in the production of disposable packaging are not only environmental, but also related to the health of the person. The impact of disposable food packaging goes beyond polluting the environment. It can also be harmful to human health. Scientists and consumer advocates oppose chemicals used in the manufacture of plastics that can leach into food. Some of the short- and long-term risks associated with chemicals in packaging are only just beginning to be understood.
For example, paper cups are covered with plastic to prevent liquids from leaking out. In this case, boiling liquids stay in a plastic film. Also, all packaged food containers trigger the leaching of chemicals used in manufacturing, especially if the food that goes into them is hot. Aluminum beverage cans are coated with a hormone disruptor bisphenol A (BPA) epoxy.
