What is the difference between disposable chopsticks and ordinary chopsticks?

First, the difference in raw materials.

Chopsticks are commonly used food tools in China. They are usually made of bamboo, wood, bone, porcelain, ivory, metal, plastic and other materials. Disposable chopsticks mainly include disposable wooden chopsticks and disposable bamboo chopsticks. Disposable bamboo chopsticks are very economical and are widely used because they are made from recyclable bamboo.

Second, the difference in history.

China has used tableware very early. The history of using spoons is about 8,000 years. The history of forks is about 4,000 years. The time limit for using chopsticks is still uncertain, but at least 3,000 years old. The forks are still used until the Warring States Period. The tombs of the Warring States Period in Luoyang, Henan Province were unearthed and bundled into a bundle of 51 forks.

As early as the Edo period, the Japanese invented disposable chopsticks suitable for Japanese eating habits. By 1990, the production of disposable Japanese chopsticks reached 24 billion pairs. At the same time, because disposable chopsticks consumed a lot of wood, there was a discussion in Japan about whether disposable chopsticks would destroy forest resources. Some manufacturers turned their attention overseas.

Third, the difference in health.

The disposable chopsticks must be subjected to sulfur fumigation during the production process, so the heat will release sulfur during the use and erode the respiratory mucosa. Disposable chopsticks are bleached with hydrogen peroxide during the production process. Hydrogen peroxide is highly corrosive and causes corrosion to the mouth, esophagus and even the gastrointestinal tract. As long as the ordinary chopsticks are cleaned, there is no problem if they are replaced frequently.
