The decomposition time of a pulp plate in a natural environment can vary depending on various factors such as temperature, moisture, and exposure to sunlight. Generally, it takes about 45-90 days for a pulp molded environmental protection tableware to completely decompose in a landfill in a natural state.

After the plate decomposes, around 82% of the ingredients are organic matter, which can be used as fertilizer for land use. This means that pulp plates made from natural materials, such as pulp, straw, bagasse, or sugarcane, are eco-friendly and biodegradable. They do not contribute to the accumulation of non-biodegradable waste in landfills and oceans, and they help reduce the carbon footprint of the food packaging industry.

Pulp molding food packaging machine manufacturers, such as those who produce SHM pulp plate making machines or other types of disposable plate making machines, play an important role in promoting the use of bio-degradable plates. By using carbon-neutral and carbon-free manufacturing processes, these machines can produce eco-friendly food containers that help reduce environmental pollution and contribute to a more sustainable future.
