Why choose birch? Scientific selection of raw materials for disposable wooden tableware
In the field of disposable wooden tableware, the choice of raw materials directly determines the safety, durability and environmental value of the product. As the world's leading supplier of environmentally friendly tableware, Dalian Greenwood has always used birch as its core raw material. Today, we analyze from a scientific perspective: Why is birch the gold standard for wooden tableware?
Natural advantages of birch: the perfect material given by nature
1. Dense and uniform fiber structure
Abrasion resistance: birch fiber has a high density (about 670 kg/m³), is not easy to break or produce burrs, and ensures that the tableware is smooth and traceless when used.
Anti-penetration: The tight texture can effectively block water penetration and avoid deformation or mold in a humid environment (experimental data: water absorption rate <5% after immersion for 24 hours).
2. Natural antibacterial properties
Birch contains natural betulin, which has antibacterial effects and can reduce the risk of microbial growth, especially suitable for food contact scenarios.
3. Processing friendly
Easy to shape: birch has moderate hardness (Young's hardness 1260), suitable for precision cutting into complex shapes such as knives, forks, popsicle sticks, etc.
High temperature resistance: can withstand 160℃ high temperature steam sterilization, in line with food grade production standards.
Birch vs other wood: Why it stands out
| Features | Birch | Bamboo | Pine |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fiber density | High (strong crack resistance) | Medium (prone to longitudinal cracking) | Low (prone to wear) |
| Moisture resistance | Excellent (water absorption rate <5%) | Medium (water absorption rate 8%-10%) | Poor (water absorption rate >12%) |
| Antibacterial ability | Natural betulin antibacterial | Chemical coating required | None |
| Sustainability | FSC certified, short renewable period (8-12 years) | Fast growing, but geographically restricted | Slow growing (20-30 years) |
Conclusion: Birch has the best overall performance in terms of safety, durability and environmental protection
Double protection of environmental protection and safety
1. Sustainable commitment from forest to factory
FSC certification: raw materials come from recyclable forests. For every tree cut down, 3 new seedlings can be replanted.
Zero waste production: sawdust and waste are used for biomass power generation, reducing carbon emissions by 40% (compared with traditional incineration).
2. Food grade safety scientific verification
Global certification: passed FDA (USA), LFGB (Germany), GB 4806.8 (China) food contact material testing.
No chemical additives: reject bleach and industrial coatings, retain natural wood color, and can be used directly by babies.
