Disposable paper cups are more hygienic and convenient for people. Therefore, many people are more willing to use disposable cups when they are at home and receive business. When traveling barbecues and partying picnics, disposable cups became a necessity. In fact, disposable cups are also divided into cold drink cups and hot drink cups. The difference lies in the layer of “wax” and “film” in the production process. If it is used in reverse, it may be detrimental to the user's health.
Disposable cups have cold and hot points
There are two types of disposable cups currently on the market. One is a disposable plastic cup and the other is a disposable cup. Disposable plastic cups contain micro-toxic element polyvinyl chloride, which has an unpleasant odor when boiled in boiling water. Therefore, more consumers are willing to choose disposable cups. However, when reporters interviewed a nutritionist training institution expert Guo Lin, they learned about the relevant materials. Display, disposable cups are not "universal", but also sub-cold drink cups and hot drink cups.
It is understood that in order to prevent the infiltration of water during pouring, when producing paper cups, manufacturers will apply a layer of wax inside the cups of the cold drink cups, so that the cups are thick and not easy to get wet, while the hot drink cups are coated with a layer of The film, while keeping warm, does not soak the paper cup with hot water. If we pour hot water into a cold drink cup, the wax in the cup will dissolve, and people will poison if they drink it for a long time. So when buying disposable paper cups, it is best to ask, It is cool or hot. After buying it back, it must also be used rationally, and it must not be mixed so as not to affect health.
There is no distinguishing sign on the market
Then, do the disposable cups sold on the market in Taichung have these distinctive signs? Does the consumer know these differences? In an interview, the reporter found that there were no clear signs of cold and hot drink cups in the disposable paper cups on the Taichung market, and most of the respondents did not know that disposable paper cups were cold and hot.
Recently, the reporter visited several large shopping malls and more than 10 grocery stores in Taicheng. They found that there wasn't a brand of paper cup that clearly indicated the cold drink cups or hot drink cups on the packaging, and quite a few brands of paper cups had heat resistance. Not indicated. Some inexpensive paper cups, packaging instructions is extremely simple, only a few concisely marked "hot and cold cup" words, but there is no specific distinction is a cold drink cup or hot drink cup, but also did not indicate the heat; higher prices and better quality The paper cup will indicate the performance of the paper cup on the front side of the packaging as “high-temperature-resistant, non-permeable”. Detailed characteristics are attached to the bottom of the packaging, but the heat resistance is marked at “-10°C—100°C”, which is both cold and resistant Hot, whether it is a cold drink cup or a hot drink cup, there is no clear distinction.
Disposable cups themselves are not specifically marked as cold drinks or hot drink cups, causing the difference between consumers and operators to be very vague. Over 90% of the consumers and operators interviewed said that it was impossible to identify which kind of drink is the cold drink cup and which is the hot drink cup. At the time of purchase, they mainly looked at the price and did not care too much about what harm it would bring.
