At HMZ Technology, we pledge to deliver top-tier food packaging solutions. A prevalent inquiry we get is: Does bagasse tableware contain PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances)?
Yes, some bagasse tableware might contain PFAS. However, it’s worth noting that we also produce PFAS-free bagasse tableware, and we proudly possess certificates to prove this absence of PFAS.
Let’s delve deeper.
What is PFAS?
PFAS are man-made chemicals that have been utilized in various industries since the 1940s. Due to their resistance to heat, water, and oil, they’ve become a popular choice in food packaging to prevent leakage and maintain product quality(Source ATSDR).
However, with rising concerns about their potential health and environmental implications, it’s vital to understand where and why they’re used.
HMZ Technology’s Bagasse Products
Derived from sugarcane residue, our bagasse tableware is organic and biodegradable. But in the journey of converting this raw material into durable tableware, the production process might sometimes introduce PFAS.
Yet, at HMZ Technology, we provide options. We offer bagasse products devoid of PFAS and back this claim with valid certificates, allowing our customers to make informed choices.
Coating Technology in Our Products
Beyond our PFAS-free offerings, we have introduced specialized coating technologies. Whether it’s plates, bowls, trays, or containers, we can coat them with PLA, PP, PE, and other films. This offers an added layer of protection and diversity in choice.
These coatings don’t just enhance the product’s durability but also ensure the safety and integrity of the food items they hold.
Conclusion
While some bagasse tableware might contain PFAS, at HMZ Technology, we always strive for choices and higher standards. We not only provide PFAS-free options but also a variety of coating technologies to cater to diverse needs. We are relentlessly driven to offer more to our customers.
