Although takeaway packaging is constantly developing, people's environmental awareness is also strengthening. But as far as the current takeaway market is concerned, the penetration rate of biodegradable paper lunch boxes is still very low. Recently, some media has launched a questionnaire survey on 100 consumers of different ages about take-out packaging. The results showed that 66% of the respondents received transparent disposable plastic boxes in the take-out; 21% of the respondents received foam lunch boxes; other packaging accounted for 12%; degradable paper lunch boxes only accounted for Than 1%. It is not difficult to find that most of the take-out packaging used by take-out businesses are still mainly non-degradable plastics. However, as consumers continue to improve their pursuit of environmental protection and take-out quality, biodegradable lunch boxes will become a new trend in take-out packaging, with huge market potential. In addition to market demand, some measures taken by the takeaway platform are also driving the market development of biodegradable lunch boxes. Ele.me launched the "Safety Plan" for take-out packaging materials, combined with disposable lunch box manufacturers, catering companies, and China Packaging Federation to review and screen disposable lunch boxes, and successively released three batches of takeaway packaging "Safety List". The "Safe List" project tackled the pollution problem of takeaway packaging from various aspects such as reduction, reuse, and recycling.
The takeaway industry is becoming a part of the development of China's food industry, but the rapid development of the takeaway industry has also brought about many problems, and the environmental protection of takeaway packaging has also become a current hot topic. From an overall point of view, the environmental protection level of my country’s takeaway market is relatively low, and the development of biodegradable lunch boxes is huge. I believe that with the efforts of various parties, the takeaway packaging industry will gradually change to environmental protection and greening, and the takeaway packaging industry will gradually increase. The better.
