1. What Makes Paper Stand Out?
With the “Express Delivery Regulations” strengthening green packaging requirements, food businesses are increasingly seeking eco-friendly packaging. As a custom disposable foodware expert, Guangzhou Gorlando has noticed more clients asking: Is paper utensil packaging really more eco-friendly than plastic? The answer lies in the full lifecycle from raw materials to disposal.
2. Paper vs. Plastic: 4 Key Comparisons
| Evaluation Dimension | Paper Packaging (Gorlando Solution) | Plastic Packaging |
|---|---|---|
| Raw Material | Renewable plant fibers (reed, sugarcane bagasse) + 72.8% recycled pulp | Petroleum derivatives (44.8% of plastic for packaging globally) |
| Production Emission | Closed-loop process, 60% less wastewater than traditional papermaking | Dioxin emission during high-temperature production (2.39t CO₂e/t) |
| Usage Safety | Fluorescent-agent free (meets GB 4806.8), double-tested | 33% contain plasticizers, migrating to food when heated |
| Waste Disposal | Biodegrades in 3-6 months, 85% recycling rate | 33 containers worth only $0.08, recycling cost > profit |
3. Top 3 Questions from Businesses
Q1: Is paper packaging more expensive?
Initial cost is ~10% higher, but total benefits excel:
- Policy support: Subsidies for green packaging compliance
- Brand value: 78% consumers pay 5% more for eco-options
- Disposal saving: Plastic waste fees are 3x higher
Q2: Is paper packaging water-sensitive and fragile?
Gorlando’s food-grade waterproof coating solves this:
- Water resistance: Withstands 48-hour soaking
- Durability: 3-layer structure = 5-layer plastic strength
Q3: Is the recycling system reliable?
Our closed-loop system:
- Merchants collect used packaging
- Partner stations pick up regularly (Zhejiang University “Box Recycling” model)
- Recycled into liner boards, cutting raw material cost by 20%
4. Eco-Friendly Is Not Optional, But Essential
While plastic containers take centuries to decompose, Gorlando’s paper packaging completes the “grow-use-recycle” cycle. A milk tea chain reduced plastic use by 12 tons/year with our paper packaging, boosting repeat purchases by 15%.
Tip: Look for “dual-certification” – food contact safety + recyclability (Gorlando provides test reports for all products).
