What are some common misconceptions about using paper containers?

Misconception 1: Using paper containers as plastic containers

Many consumers habitually use paper containers as plastic containers, for example, by frying food at high temperatures or heating them directly in a microwave.

Core issue: Paper containers have limited heat resistance. Direct contact with fried food or microwave heating may cause the paper to soften, deform, or even break, affecting food safety and user experience.

Company recommendation: Although Zhejiang Jie Yu Plastic Products Co., Ltd. offers various types of containers (such as square lunch boxes, round lunch boxes, ice cream cups, soup cups/bowls, etc.), heat-resistant containers should be selected according to the product instructions, or paper containers should be kept away from high-temperature environments as much as possible.

Misconception 2: Ignoring the load-bearing capacity of paper containers

Many people may mistakenly believe that paper containers have the same load-bearing capacity as plastic containers.

Core issue: Paper containers (especially thin cardboard boxes) may easily deform or break when bearing heavy objects. For example, overloading hamburgers, pizzas, or soups with lots of sauce can cause cardboard boxes to sag or leak.

Company Advantages: Zhejiang Jie Yu Plastic Products Co., Ltd., as a professional paper container supplier, offers "natural kraft paper trays" and a variety of "cardboard box" solutions. These products, developed with molds, provide strong load-bearing capacity and are particularly suitable for heavy foods such as lettuce boxes and salad boxes.

Misconception 3: Believing all paper containers are "eco-friendly"

With increasing environmental awareness, consumers often consider paper containers synonymous with "biodegradable," but the reality is not always so.

Core Issue: Not all paper containers have the same environmental performance. Some cardboard boxes may be coated with grease or plastic film that is not easily decomposed, which can affect their degradation rate and recycling efficiency.

Company Commitment: Zhejiang Jie Yu Plastic Products Co., Ltd. is committed to "using recyclable materials and sustainable manufacturing processes to reduce environmental impact." Their products (such as paper bags and boxes) follow strict quality control standards to ensure compliance with international safety and hygiene standards, and their designs take into account both functionality and environmental friendliness.
