Unveiling the Facts About Food-Grade Plastic Materials (Part III)

Every cup has a story, and life has its warmth. Hello everyone, "Dong Dong's Cup Talk" is here. Recently, I came across discussions on official media about the health and food safety concerns regarding plastic materials used in disposable plastic meal boxes and water cups. https://www.zhanyict.com/en/ProductsDetail-VB-10425.htmlSo, I thought, why not take this opportunity to thoroughly analyze all the food-grade plastic materials used in my factory's daily production?


To ensure everyone trusts that this content isn't fabricated, I’ve invited Engineer Li, who has years of experience working at an internationally renowned quality inspection agency, to share his insights. In our daily operations, most of the international safety inspections for our factory's plastic products are conducted by the company Engineer Li works for.


Hello everyone, I'm Engineer Li, though I’m usually just called Li. I’ve been working in plastic material quality inspection for over fifteen years. My daily job involves working with various plastic materials used to produce items that come into contact with food, from baby bottles to lunch boxes, and from water cups to disposable utensils. https://www.zhanyict.com/en/ProductsDetail-VB-10425.htmlAs a frontline inspector, I analyze these products inside and out. At the same time, I’m also a mother. Because I work with plastics every day, I am extra cautious when selecting everyday items for my child and family. Today, I’d like to take this opportunity to talk in detail about the plastic products we use every day.
