Quick Summary:
Molded pulp packaging is rapidly replacing Styrofoam (EPS) across foodservice and export markets due to tightening plastic bans, low recycling rates of EPS, and rising demand for compostable, fiber-based materials.

FAQ of Bioleader's Eco-friendly Disposable Tableware

Can the bowls withstand hot liquids such as soup?

Yes, the takeaway bowls with lids can be used for holding all kinds of food, both hot and cold, such as soups and stews while preventing any spillage or leakage.

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 — Styrofoam EPS Packaging. 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 — Styrofoam EPS Packaging.

Can they be put in the microwave?

Yes, they can be put in a microwave even though there is no instruction to that, which makes it easier as meals can be quickly reheated in the same bowl.

Typical Applications

Bagasse Food containers and clamshells Bagasse Plates, bowls, trays Protective packaging inserts Industrial cushioning

Structural Weaknesses

Despite its performance benefits, EPS presents systemic challenges: Non-biodegradable Difficult and uneconomical to recycle High environmental persistence Increasingly restricted by law Globally, less than 10% of EPS is effectively recycled, and in many regions the rate is closer to 1–2%, making it one of the least circular packaging materials in use today.
