# 6 Polystyrene (PS)

□ Hot Food ■ Cold Food □ Oil □ Alcoholic

Non-foaming PS is majorly used for construction materials, toys, stationery, etc.; also commonly used as materials for containers for fermented dairy products (lactic acid products such as Yakult, Yogurt). It has been largely used to produce wash-free tableware in recent years, such as wash-free cup, salad box, egg container. Foaming PS is also called styrofoam, which was manufactured by adding foaming agent during its process to achieve the expansionn of volume by twenty to one-hundred times, and can be used for packing material or container. PS material is with nature of heat-resisting within 60°C; it is neither suitable for filling in with boiling water and fried foodstuff, nor for beverages with alcohol or citrus fruit. Available Products:Disposable snack tableware.

# 1 Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET)

□ Hot Food ■ Cold Food □ Oil ■ Alcoholic

With natures of heat-resisting within 60°C, as well as acid and alkali resistant; it may release Di 2-EthylHexyl Phthalate (DEHP), which is a kind of carcinogen, when overheating and long-term usage. Available Products:PET bottle.

# 7 PolyLactide (PLA)

□ Hot Food ■ Cold Food ■ Oil ■ Alcoholic

The major source of raw materials for PLA is from plants, instead of petroleum hydrocarbons. Discarded PLA products can be decomposed into carbon dioxide and water by microorganisms existing in soil, and then further became starch through photosynthesis. It is a kind of renewable and eco-friendly plastic products without effects of public hazard. Available Products:Disposable wash-free tableware.

# 7 The Crystallization of PLA(CPLA)

■ Hot Food ■ Cold Food ■ Oil ■ Alcoholic

Having same characteristics as PLA, the only difference is that CPLA is a kind of heat-resisting materials. Available Products:Disposable wash-free tableware.

# 7 Melamine Formaldehyde Resin (MF)

□ Hot Food ■ Cold Food □ Oil ■ Alcoholic

Melamine plastic tableware has advantages of crash-proof and low cost, it is mostly favored by eating house and usually used for kids’ tableware. Melamine resin can endure heat up to 110°C ~ 130°C and without deformation, however, a slim amount of trimeric cyanamide (melamine) will be released when the temperature is over 40°C or acid materials like vinegar is added; more amount of melamine will be released in line with higher temperature, it is hazardous to human body and may increase the risk of suffering from renal calculus and ureteral calculus when long-term exposure. It is recommended to wash by sponge instead of scouring pad, to prevent bacteria from breeding as scratches caused during washing. Available Products: Commonly used by snack stand, restaurant, or kids’ tableware.

# 7 Polycarbonate (PC)

□ Hot Food ■ Cold Food ■ Oil ■ Alcoholic

Even though the PC can endure heat up to about 130°C, it will release bisphenol A (BPA), is a kind of chemical substance which will disorder endocrine. So it is recommended not to hold hot mean. Available Products: Various kinds of colorful transparent plastic bottles used when sporting or mountaineering.
