Environmental Science Popularization | What are the hazards of disposable lunch boxes?

Sometimes, when going to restaurants or eating at some snack streets, it is inevitable to use disposable lunch boxes. They are convenient and do not need to be brushed, and can be discarded after use. However, how many people are aware of the hazards involved? Today, let Tuan Tuan educate everyone on the hazards of disposable lunch boxes!




Hazard 1: Poisoning hazard


A disposable lunch box is a foam tableware that can contain food that exceeds 65 degrees Celsius, causing the release of toxic substances into the food. Eating with such a lunch box is equivalent to chronic poisoning. There won't be any short-term impact, but long-term use still has a lingering effect on the liver and kidneys.




Hazard 2: Long degradation time


The degradation time of this plastic product is at least 200 years. Long term retention of plastic in fields can affect crop water absorption and inhibit development. If livestock accidentally eat plastic, it can cause digestive diseases and even death. And the site filled with plastic has a loose foundation, which allows bacteria to infiltrate and pollute the environment.




Hazard 3: Secondary pollution


If these plastic lunch boxes are directly incinerated, it will cause serious secondary pollution to the environment. When plastic is burned, it not only produces a large amount of black smoke, but also produces dioxins. When dioxins enter the soil, it takes at least 15 months to decompose. And dioxins can harm plants and animals.


Appeal: Refuse the use of disposable lunch boxes! Prepare an enamel bowl or eco-friendly lunch box to replace a disposable lunch box when dining out. This is the only way to reuse resources, protect the environment, and benefit future generations.
