Besides, buyers should also consider their environmental performance. Thus, in our daily lives, more and more ice cream paper cups are starting to use recyclable biodegradable materials.

II. Material of ice cream paper cups

The main materials commonly used for ice cream paper cups are food grade wood pulp paper and PE film on the inner and outer surfaces. Food grade wood pulp paper and inner and outer surface PE film are both safe and reliable materials in food packaging. They have good food accessibility.

Food grade wood pulp paper is a paper material made mainly from natural wood pulp. It has excellent oil resistance, moisture resistance, and breathability. Those can effectively protect food. In addition, the color, texture, and texture of food grade wood pulp paper are more suitable for making food packaging materials. It also has degradability and recyclability, making it more environmentally friendly.

This can make ice cream paper cups more attractive and popular among consumers.

The inner and outer surface PE film is a layer of thin film made of polyethylene (PE) plastic material. It is an important component of an ice cream paper cup. This coating can effectively isolate external pollutants and maintain the humidity of the packaging. It has wear-resistant and leak proof properties. And it has good ability to isolate substances such as oxygen, water vapor, formaldehyde, etc.

III. Food grade wood pulp paper

Food grade wood pulp paper describes the paper used in food packaging. It is made from raw wood and has not undergone secondary processing. The production method of food grade wood pulp paper is relatively simple. Firstly, the raw wood is crushed and pulped. It's followed by paper-making, processing, and other processes, and finally made into paper. It has many priorities: natural, green, disinfected, hygienic, odorless, accessible to food, etc.

But, food grade wood pulp paper also has some drawbacks that need to be considered. For greasy foods, it is easy to make the packaging material soft and brittle. Alternatively, food fats may penetrate into the material and cause cross infection. Moreover, its production cost is relatively high.

IV. PE film on inner and outer surfaces

The inner and outer surface PE film is a plastic film made of polyethylene. It has the advantages of good waterproofing. And it can effectively prevent food from coming into contact with the external environment. At the same time, the PE film on the inner and outer surfaces also has excellent performance in blocking gases and odors. So it can maintain the freshness of the food. In addition, the processing performance of PE film is also very good. It can be well combined with other materials, further improving the overall performance of the paper cup.

It is worth noting that although PE film has excellent performance, it also has some drawbacks. The main manifestation is that it is difficult to degrade and has a certain degree of harm to the environment. So, when merchants purchase ice cream cups, they can choose biodegradable PE coated paper cups.

V. Recyclable biodegradability of ice cream paper cups

Wood pulp paper can be recycled and has degradability. This greatly improves the recyclability and biodegradability of ice cream cups.

After a long period of development, a typical way to decompose ice cream paper cups is as follows. Within 2 months, lignin, Hemicellulose and cellulose began to degrade and gradually became smaller. From 45 to 90 days, the cup almost completely decomposes into small particles. After 90 days, all substances are oxidized and transformed into soil and plant nutrients.

Firstly, the main materials for ice cream paper cups are pulp and PE film. Both materials can be recycled. Pulp can be recycled into paper. PE film can be processed and made into other plastic products. Recycling and reusing these materials can reduce resource consumption, energy consumption, and environmental pollution.

Secondly, ice cream paper cups have biodegradability. Pulp itself is an organic substance that is easily decomposed by microorganisms. And degradable PE films can also be degraded by microorganisms. This means that ice cream cups can naturally degrade into water, carbon dioxide, and organic matter after a certain period of time. So, it basically does not cause pollution to the environment.

Recyclable biodegradation is of great significance for environmental protection. With the increasingly serious global environmental problems, sustainable development has become a topic of common concern for all sectors of society.

In the field of food packaging, recyclable and biodegradable materials are the future development direction. Therefore, promoting recyclable and biodegradable food packaging materials is of great significance for the development of the industry and the environmental protection industry.
