Wheat straw itself is a natural and environmentally friendly material, and it is now widely used in tableware to make various water cups, bowls, plates, chopsticks, etc. So, can the wheat straw cup drink hot water? Is it harmful to the human body? Let’s learn about it with Jupeng Cup.
When we talk about wheat straw cups, we usually refer to water cups that can be used repeatedly. However, if you want to use wheat stalks to make reusable water cups, you must add some fusion agents, so that the cups made of wheat stalks can have a good shape, and can be used and washed repeatedly. The fusion agents mentioned here are mostly high molecular polymers, such as PP and PET. Therefore, the safety of the wheat straw cup depends on whether the fusion agent is food-grade, and whether it can be in direct contact with food.
When making wheat straw cups, the selected wheat straws are cleaned and disinfected first, then ground into fine powder, then mixed with starch, lignin, etc., after adding a fuser, and after mixing evenly, put it into the mold of the cup, and then After high-temperature hot-pressing and integral molding, a wheat straw water cup is obtained. If the fusion agent used by the manufacturer is a food-grade PP material that meets national regulations, then the wheat straw cup is safe. Our company is committed to product safety, and the raw materials selected are food-grade PP or PET materials.
