The advantages of paper packaging boxes instead of plastic are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. Environmental protection

Degradable and recyclable ** : Paper packaging boxes are made of renewable resources, such as pulp, waste paper, etc., which can be degraded by microorganisms in the natural environment, thereby reducing long-term pollution to the environment. In contrast, many plastic materials are difficult to degrade in the natural environment, and even take hundreds of years, posing a serious threat to the ecological environment. In addition, the paper packaging boxes can be recycled, further reducing the environmental impact.
Reduce Plastic pollution ** : Plastic pollution is one of the most serious environmental problems facing the world today. Using paper packaging instead of plastic packaging can significantly reduce the generation of plastic waste and reduce the risk of pollution to the ocean, soil and water.

2. Health and safety

Non-toxic and harmless ** : The packaging box does not contain harmful substances in the production and use process, such as plasticizers, heavy metals, etc., so it will not cause pollution to food or the environment. In contrast, some plastic packaging materials may release harmful substances when heated or exposed to food for a long time, posing a potential threat to human health.

Better food protection ** : Paper packaging boxes also have advantages in maintaining food freshness and taste. They usually have good air permeability and hygroscopicity, which can maintain the humidity and taste of the food, while avoiding external contamination of the food.

3. Economy

Cost effective ** : Although the raw material cost of a paper packaging box may be slightly higher than that of some plastic packaging materials, its overall cost effectiveness may be higher considering its recyclability and environmental protection. In addition, with the improvement of environmental awareness and the strengthening of environmental protection policies, the market demand for paper packaging boxes will continue to grow, thereby further reducing their production costs.

Save resources ** : Using paper packaging boxes instead of plastic packaging can also save valuable oil resources. Plastics are made from fossil fuels such as oil, which is a finite natural resource. By reducing the use of plastic packaging, we can reduce our dependence on oil resources and contribute to sustainable development in the future.
