Tin boxes are more environmentally friendly than plastic boxes

In recent years, with the use of new manufacturing processes and technologies in the metal packaging manufacturing industry, more types of tin box containers have been manufactured, and the use of tin box products has greatly increased. The company believes that compared to other materials (such as plastic), metal tin boxes are safer, more rigid, more environmentally friendly, and can be recycled. Compared with other packaging materials, consumers also believe that lighter metal tin boxes are more environmentally friendly and metal tin box products are widely used.

Plastic packaging is harmful to the natural environment

  Plastics used in people's daily lives contain harmful compounds. Improper handling of these packaging will cause harmful compounds to enter the river, and toxic chemicals from plastic will seep out of the plastic and come into contact with the human body through drinking water, etc., which may lead to other diseases such as cancer, due to their non-biodegradable Nature, they will dissolve in a long time. In addition, plastic manufacturing involves the use of potentially hazardous chemicals that are added as stabilizers or colorants.

  Plastics are usually not biodegradable; therefore, after the waste plastic packaging enters the environment, it is difficult to degrade, causing long-term and deep-level ecological and environmental problems. 1. Waste plastic packaging is mixed in the soil, which affects the absorption of nutrients and moisture by crops, which will lead to a reduction in crop production; 2. Waste plastic packaging discarded on land or water, swallowed by animals as food, causing animal death (at the zoo) In pastoral areas and oceans, this kind of situation is not uncommon); 3. Waste plastic packaging mixed with domestic waste is difficult to handle: landfill treatment will occupy the land for a long time, and domestic waste mixed with plastic is not suitable for composting. The waste plastics picked out are also difficult to recycle because they cannot guarantee the quality

Metal tin packaging is environmentally friendly

  Metal tin box packaging is usually biodegradable; therefore, after the waste tin box packaging enters the environment, it will not cause deep-level ecological and environmental problems due to its easy degradation. As the global demand for metal packaging will rise sharply in the future, international organizations and countries will recycle metal packaging to reduce the negative impact on the environment. In addition to being friendly to the earth, metal food containers are also travel-friendly. They can be easily packed for school or business lunches, avoiding the waste caused by takeaway or convenience food packaging. Recycle coffee cans to store dry foods such as beans, rice or sugar. Metal packaging containers can generally meet the requirements of sanitation and safety. The products packed with them are easy to carry and use (generally equipped with easy-open devices, such as pull tabs for cans, etc.), can adapt to different climatic conditions, and have better waste disposal properties Well, it can be recycled.

  Durability comparison

Compared with metal boxes, plastic boxes usually have a shorter service life than metal boxes. Such a short life cycle leads to more unnecessary garbage. Although some plastic packaging boxes are recycled, most of the plastics are still not collected in the dump, causing environmental pollution. On the contrary, metal tin box packaging usually has a long service life and can be reused (such as cookie tin box containers, when you enjoy the perfect flavor of cookies, you can use it to hold small children’s toys, needles, buttons, etc.) So that they can almost be recycled.

 price comparison

First of all, plastic packaging boxes are cheap, not only the cost of raw materials, but also the cost of processing. This has obvious advantages, and there are too many examples. Looking at the plastic things around you, most of them have price factors; The price of metal tin box packaging is more expensive, because the cost of raw materials, tin box processing costs, and manufacturing labor costs are not as expensive as plastic packaging boxes.

  Although metal packaging materials have many advantages, they also have shortcomings, mainly including: poor chemical stability, especially steel materials are easy to rust, generally anti-rust substances should be coated; acid and alkali resistance is weak, packaging acid substances ( Especially food), metal ions will precipitate and affect product quality, generally need inner coating isolation protection; metal packaging materials are more expensive than other packaging materials, and the overall packaging cost is also higher
