What Is Waste Plastic?

Apr 05, 2019

As you know, there are three types of plastic products used in food packaging: PVC, polyethylene, polystyrene. In a short period of time used to hold oil, human health is no impediment.


However, using them to hold up oil for a long time can contaminate food and cause harm to the human body.


This is because these packaging bottles have a high transparency, easy to aging and so on, in the air will be oxygen, ozone, ultraviolet action to produce a strong odor, coupled with the polymer itself aging, if used for long-term storage of cooking oil, easy to make these edibles spoil. In addition, the elements of PVC are not only toxic, but also very easy to break down in acids and fats to extract highly toxic hydrogen chloride and chlorine, plasticizers added to PVC, such as benzodiazepines, are toxic, as well as lead, cadmium and organotin as stabilizers, are toxic chemicals, toxic, And easy to dissolve in grease. Although plastic polystyrene belongs to low toxic substances, but its components styrene and volatile components ethyl benzene, isopropyl benzene are toxic, and very easy to dissolve in grease. Plastic polyethylene itself is not toxic.


However, when it comes into contact with grease, it can be analyzed into low molecular compounds, and these low molecular elements are soluble in grease to produce toxicity.
