Materials: Kraft Paper & White Cardboard Paper

Our company’s biodegradable bowls are made of materials that allow biodegradation such as kraft paper and cardboard paper. Sturdy and durable kraft paper is opaque and gives the kraft paper a natural aesthetic that consumers in this era should gorge on. White cardboard paper helps to enhance this look while ensuring that the bowl remains strong. Even these materials are 100% bio-degradable, hence these disposable biodegradable bowls will decompose within a short time after disposal to reduce pollution.

How Water-Based Coatings Work

Water-based coatings work by forming a thin, protective barrier on paper surfaces , Compostable coatings. When applied to a paper product, the coating adheres to the surface due to the resin’s natural adhesive properties. Once applied, the water evaporates, and the resin binds to the paper, creating a solid and resistant layer. This layer protects the paper from moisture, oils, and grease, which is essential for food packaging products like cups and bowls that come into direct contact with liquids and food.

Definition: Understanding Water-Based Coatings

Water-based coatings are a type of protective layer used primarily in the packaging industry, especially for paper products such as cups, bowls, and trays. As the name suggests, the primary solvent used in these coatings is water, as opposed to petroleum-based solvents typically found in traditional coatings like polyethylene (PE). Water-based coatings are composed of water-soluble resins, natural additives, and other eco-friendly ingredients that combine to create a thin, durable protective layer on the surface of paper products , Compostable coatings. These coatings are designed to provide various benefits, such as moisture resistance, oil resistance, and a smooth surface that is suitable for printing and branding.
