We use the disposable chopsticks given by the merchants for dinner or takeaway. These disposable chopsticks have been exposed to these years and they feel very much. They are actually bleached from chemical raw materials so that people can use these kinds of chopsticks. With fear, some people started to bring their own dishes.
After all, even if the chopsticks used in the restaurant cycle, they are not guaranteed to be cleaned. However, there are still hundreds of millions of disposable chopsticks that have been used every day. Where did these used chopsticks finally go?
Except for the kind of chopsticks made of stainless steel, basically all the chopsticks are made of wood, but the difference is that some are good wood, which is used in our home and some restaurants and is made of broken wood and bamboo. Disposable chopsticks. These chopsticks were very rough when they were first cut and extruded. They could not be sent to the customer in this way. Otherwise, the thorns that were plunged into the meat would make them headaches.
This requires sanding to deal with corners and corners. Put the extruded planks into the grinding machine and sprinkle with talcum powder. Although this talcum powder can make the wood better polished, it is difficult to clean with water. Those that are not cleaned are attached to the surface of the chopsticks, and it is very likely that they will enter the stomach with what we eat. In addition, the wood used to make chopsticks is not very good, and some are black, so these boards are also bleached with hydrogen peroxide and fumigated with sulfur. Finally, cutting with a machine becomes a one-off use that we use now.
Many people may not know that such chopsticks can cause a burden on organs in our body, causing lesions such as stones. And even after strict disinfection, the shelf life of chopsticks is only a short period of four months, but as we have seen, they are randomly placed on the table by the merchant without packaging and production date. However, these used chopsticks will be collected by some restaurants and sold to the paper mills needed. After the paper mills are treated and bleached and dried, the chopsticks will be used to make powdered wood chips for papermaking, mixed with water and turned into wood pulp. Used for paper making, it is still very environmentally friendly.
However, there are still a large number of chopsticks that have become frequent visitors in the garbage dump. They are buried in the ground after being classified and treated. Every year, the number of disposable chopsticks consumed in China is very large, and the corresponding required wood is not too small. Therefore, everyone can use their own chopsticks to clean the environment.
