For whether the biodegradable plastic container can be heated in the microwave oven, we need to understand the heating principle of the microwave oven first. Microwave ovens heat food by vibrating water molecules in food through microwave radiation to generate heat. For plastic containers, the high temperature generated by the microwave oven is easy to cause deformation, melting and other problems, so it is necessary to distinguish plastic products.
For biodegradable plastic containers, because the material composition is softer, its heat resistance is weak indeed . Therefore, if the biodegradable plastic containers are heated in the microwave oven, it may cause deformation, melting and other problems, so it is not recommended to use the biodegradable plastic containers for microwave heating.

What Is The Difference Between Compostable Tableware And Biodegradable Tableware?
Before answering this question, we have to know the difference between compostable and biodegradable.

Firstly, biodegradable means that the biodegradable material can be broken into small molecule by microorganisms first, then finally broken into CO2, H2O, and so on. Usually, the biodegradation process inlcudes biodegradation, photodegradation and chemical degradation.

Seondly, compostable means that the compostable products can be broken into CO2, H2O, organic substances, etc, by anaerobic microorganisms under composting. While composting is a method of converting organic materials into compost and is the decomposition process of organic matter by microorganisms (bacteria, fungi and others). There are usually home composting and commercial composting available, and the composting process requires human intervention to provide the right conditions of water, oxygen and organic matter.

Although there are difference between bio-degradable and compostable plastic, most of our biodegradable tableware are also biodegradable and compostable, and they have been certificated to be home compostable.

Is Compostable Tableware Better Than Plastic Ones?
The answer to this question depends on your market and what you’re trying to accomplish.
There are three main factors in determining whether compostable tableware is better than plastic tableware.

1) Cost – Generally, compostable tableware are more expensive than plastic ones due to its more expensive cost of material and more complex production process relatively, so plastic tableware may be a better option if you’re looking for cost savings. But in the long run, it can save labour and financial cost because the compostable tableware can be decompsed into harmless matters naturally. Additionally, the additional cost of compostable tableware can be offset by the increased revenue they generate through increased sales of beverage and food items at your event.

2) How much waste do you produce and accumulated in nature? – As we all known, plastic products are not degradable, the wasted plastic tableware will exist in landfill for hundreds of years and cause “white pollution”. However, compostable can be broken into CO2, H2O , and organic substances with several months by anaerobic microorganisms under composting. Therefore, if you’re worried about the amount of waste generated at an event, then compostable tableware might be a good fit for you. Also, if your goal is to reduce the amount of waste produced, then you should consider using compostable tableware because they break down into organic material that is easily digestible by microorganisms in soil or water systems.

3) Are your clients environmentally conscious and Are your marketing aims to eco-friendly products? – If your clients care about being environmentally friendly, then compostable tableware might be a good fit for you. And if your marketing is mainly in eco-friendly catering products, then the compostalbe tableware will be one of your best choice.

In general, Compostable tableware help reduce the amount of waste produced by the event, but they can’t be recycled because of Immature recycling technology at present. So its environmental friendliness lies mainly in its biodegradability and compostability.
All things considered, the compostable tableware is worth more than plastic one.

As the name implies that the PLA compostable tableware are mainly for food service, and it inculdes compostable spoon, fork , cup, food trays and lunch trays.
There are several different application scenarios for compostable tableware .

Firstly, they can be used in different events or parties where require eco-friendly utensils . For example, they can be used in some wedding events, baby shower, birthday party, and so on. These compostable and biodegradable plates, cups, forks , spoons will not only be similar durable to use as plastic ones, they also make the events or parties become more enviromentally friendly and greener.

Secondly, if you are camping or on vacation, the compostable tableware will be a better choice. Usually, there are much plastic wastes left after campping . While the plastic wastes are very difficult to decompose , and will exist in nature for hundreds of years. That will be a great threaten to our planet. However , you won’t worry about this problem if you choose to use compostabe and biodegradable tableware, because they can be decomposed into harmless matters naturaly without harming the environment or animals.

In addition, the PLA compostable lunch trays can be used to replace the plastic lunch trays used in school cafeterias, hospital cafeterias and some fast food services.
Although PLA compostable and biodegrdable tableware is also disposable and it is a little more expensive than plastic ones, it is still worthable in the long run.
