The Road to Sustainability for Disposable Products

According to the 2022 First Insight report, 75% of Gen Z consumers say that sustainability is more important than brand when purchasing products. As more and more Gen Zers enter the consumer market, merchants must consider their consumption values. Disposable products are necessary. For example, in the medical field, disposable products are required to provide the best barrier protection and reduce the possibility of infection. In the food and beverage sector, disposable products can ensure hygiene, reduce cleaning costs, facilitate life, and reduce carbon footprints. Today, innovative technologies can help disposable product manufacturers meet their sustainability goals.

Secondary use of waste

A Mexican company uses waste avocado pits from fruit processing plants to produce bioplastics, a

disposable product that is strong, recyclable and fully biodegrades within 240 days. A US company has used carotenoid compounds in carrots to create a biodegradable biopolymer material, a disposable product that can be selectively broken down by acid and sunlight. Indian entrepreneurs are using clay, water, and salt to 3D print clay cups and bowls, which are disposable products that break down into dust without leaving behind any hazardous waste. There are also producers who make dough from waste starch, fiber, and other substances and bake them into a disposable product that works much like traditional thermoformed plastic trays.

Green renewable resources

Brown seaweed, a renewable resource sourced from the ocean, can be made into waterproof and oil-resistant disposable products. It can be 100% recycled, completely decomposes, and disappears naturally within 4-6 weeks, and will not leave any harmful substances in the environment.

Bamboo packaging for disposable products is made from the sheath of the bamboo, which is the outer layer of the bamboo stem that falls off when the bamboo reaches a certain age. After the sheath falls to the ground, it is collected, washed, boiled, and pressed to be made into bamboo disposable products. Although these products are disposable, they can often be reused many times, and some are even dishwasher-safe.

Biodegradable bagasse disposable products are made from bagasse and other plant fibers. As a natural fiber product, they biodegrade within 30-90 days, and when degraded, they also provide natural ingredients to the environment.
