It is well-known that materials like glass, ceramic, and certain plastics can be safely used in microwaves. But among the commonly used disposable tableware, which ones are microwave-safe?

In general, paper-based packaging made from materials like kraft paper or parchment paper can be placed in a microwave since these materials do not contain metal components that might interfere with microwave operation.

However, kraft paper and parchment paper are often coated when made into tableware. These coatings may release harmful substances when exposed to the high temperatures of a microwave, which could transfer to food and then enter the body. This poses significant health risks! Therefore, when using kraft paper or parchment paper tableware, it is essential to pay attention to the materials used for the coating.

There is another material, compared to kraft paper and parchment paper, that is more suitable for microwave heating: bagasse (sugarcane pulp).

Advantages of sugarcane Bagasse Tableware:

1.Heat Resistance

Sugarcane Bagasse tableware is made from sugarcane fiber (bagasse) as the main raw material, processed under high temperatures and pressure. This material exhibits high heat resistance, typically withstanding temperatures of 120°C or higher, making it suitable for microwave use.

2.Non-toxic and Safe

Bagasse is a natural plant fiber that, after eco-friendly processing, contains no harmful substances and does not release toxic chemicals during heating, ensuring food safety.

3.Stable Structure

Sugarcane Bagasse tableware undergoes special treatment, resulting in a dense and stable structure. It does not deform, melt, or burn during short-term microwave heating.

4.Biodegradable

In addition to being heat-resistant, sugarcane bagasse tableware is biodegradable, making it an eco-friendly choice that aligns with sustainable development goals.
