Porque é que não devemos usar uma lancheira de plástico?

Plastic lunch boxes are widely used because of their lightness, durability and low price. Although plastic lunch boxes seem convenient, their use may bring a series of problems that cannot be ignored.

This article will explore why we should avoid using plastic lunch boxes and recommend healthier and more environmentally friendly alternatives for you.

Risk of Release of Hazardous Substances

The plastic materials of many plastic lunch boxes are likely to contain harmful chemicals, such as bisphenol A and phthalates. These chemicals are easily released at high temperatures, especially in microwaves, and may seep into food.

Long-term consumption of food contaminated by these harmful substances will pose a potential threat to human health and increase the risk of endocrine disorders, cancer, and other diseases.

Negative Impact on the Environment

Plastic is a difficult-to-degrade material, and it takes hundreds of years for plastic waste to completely decompose in the natural environment. Moreover, the recycling rate of plastic is low, and most plastic lunch boxes will eventually be discarded in landfills or thrown into the sea, causing great pressure on the earth’s ecological environment.

Easy to Breed Bacteria

Although plastic lunch boxes have a smooth surface, they are easily scratched and worn due to the characteristics of the material, and cracks and scratches become a breeding ground for bacteria. If plastic lunch boxes are not cleaned thoroughly for a long time, the bacteria in the food may have a negative impact on human health.

Alternatives:Stainless steel and glass lunch boxes have a stronger surface that is less likely to scratch, which effectively prevents bacteria from growing. In addition, these materials are easier to clean, reducing the risk of bacteria residue.

Affects the Taste of Food

Many people may not notice that plastic lunch boxes sometimes affect the taste of food. In particular, acidic foods (such as fruits, salads, or foods containing vinegar) stored in plastic containers for a long time are prone to react with plastic, causing the food to change taste.

Poor Durability

Although plastic lunch boxes seem convenient when they are first used, they are relatively durable and are prone to breakage, deformation, and even odor after a period of use. Plastic lunch boxes need to be replaced regularly, and long-term use increases waste.

Why Choose Stainless Steel Lunch Box?

Traditional plastic lunch boxes are gradually being replaced by stainless steel lunch boxes, which have become the best choice for health, environmental protection and practicality due to their multiple advantages.

Saúde e segurança

Healthy and harmless: Plastic lunch boxes often contain harmful chemicals such as BPA (bisphenol A) and phthalates, which pose a potential threat to human health, while stainless steel lunch boxes do not contain these harmful chemicals at all. Whether heating food at high temperatures or using it in a microwave, stainless steel lunch boxes are very healthy and safe.

Reduce Single-Use

Especially the use of plastic products has caused serious pollution to the environment, and some even come as disposable plastic tableware or lunch boxes. These plastic lunch boxes are usually difficult to degrade and will cause long-term impacts on soil and water sources.

Stainless steel lunch boxes are extremely durable and can be used repeatedly for many years, which not only reduces waste but also avoids plastic pollution.

Good Thermal Insulation Effect

Stainless steel lunch boxes have good insulation effect and can keep the temperature of food for a long time. Unlike ordinary plastic lunch boxes, many stainless steel insulated lunch boxes adopt a double-layer design, which can effectively isolate heat loss and ensure that food stays warm for a long time.

Does Not Change the Taste of Food

Stainless steel lunch boxes will not react with food and can keep the original flavor of food. Whether it is hot rice or cold dishes, stainless steel lunch boxes can ensure the freshness and taste of food.
