1. The raw material is nontoxic and safe in quality.

Aluminum foil is made of original aluminum after alloying and rolling through multiple processes. It has no harmful substances such as heavy metals. Therefore, aluminum foil can be in contact with food safely and will not contain or help bacteria to grow. In most cases, aluminum foil will not react with food. However, a considerable number of plastic lunch boxes in the market are made of unknown raw materials, even fake materials and waste plastics, so it is difficult to guarantee the quality and reliability.

2. Convenient for heating, no harmful substances after heating.

Aluminum foil has high conductivity, which can minimize the time and energy related to food processing, refrigeration and reheating. Aluminum foil lunch boxes and containers are suitable for high temperature sterilization and heat sealing treatment. Aluminum foil containers can be diversified heating. Relevant enterprises have developed supporting aluminum foil lunch box secondary heating equipment and packaging equipment, which can greatly improve the distribution efficiency of catering enterprises and ensure the quality of food.

3. Easy to form, convenient to seal and wrap, ensure food hygiene.

Aluminum foil formability is good, aluminum foil lunch boxes and containers can use the same aluminum foil material cover, can also use paper or other material cover, using its easy to change and wrinkle characteristics, good sealing, strong preservation ability, can avoid food in the process of storage and transportation, and significantly reduce food waste. For large food delivery enterprises and central kitchen distribution, we can use the automatic capping equipment developed by the aluminum foil lunch box production enterprises to improve the distribution efficiency, and the effect is obviously better than other material lunch boxes.

4. Strong barrier, it can protect the original taste of food after sealing, and extend the shelf life of food.

Although the aluminum foil is very thin, it has strong barrier property. It can completely block light, gas and other substances, improve the freshness and protect water, prevent the leakage or mixing of taste, and effectively maintain the original taste and characteristics of products. The food and prepackaged food packed in aluminum foil boxes and containers can realize cold and hot chain distribution, which is convenient for production and sales, and also convenient for catering enterprises, restaurants, supermarkets and families to store, so as to avoid product deterioration, extend shelf life and reduce food waste. Therefore, it also indirectly saves a lot of energy and energy related to the product production process.

5. It can be recycled efficiently, protect the environment and save resources.

Aluminum has high recovery rate and recyclability, and can be recycled infinitely. Recycled aluminum can be used to produce many finished products. The energy required for the regeneration process of aluminum foil is only less than 5% of that for the production of primary aluminum, and the emission of greenhouse gases is 95% less than that of primary aluminum. The aluminum foil lunch box can be easily compressed and sorted after use, so as to reduce the amount of garbage.

Aluminum foil is very thin and light with few materials, which is the packaging material with the highest product packaging ratio. It can replace plastic and paper products, save a lot of oil resources, wood and other resources consumption, improve resource efficiency and environmental quality.

In particular, the national level is actively promoting the classified recycling and treatment of domestic waste. Some areas will implement compulsory classified recycling from this year, and relevant policies will also encourage and support, which will be more conducive to the recycling of aluminum foil products.

6. The advantage of cost performance is gradually emerging, and the time of application and promotion has come.

With the technological progress and the improvement of production efficiency of aluminum industry, the production cost of aluminum and aluminum foil is gradually reduced. The cost of aluminum lunch box is close to that of qualified polypropylene (PP) plastic lunch box, and the cost performance advantage is more obvious.

7. Improve the production and supply capacity of aluminum foil to provide strong support for the expansion of application.

China is already the world's first producer of aluminum and aluminum foil. After large-scale investment in recent years, China's aluminum foil production and processing technology and equipment have reached world-class, and the product quality has reached the international advanced level. The product development ability, delivery ability and service ability of aluminum foil and aluminum foil products enterprises have been significantly improved, which can provide strong support for the next large-scale development of domestic aluminum foil lunch box and container application market.
