Disposable containers are the main tools for all food services and wholesale plastic distributors. Everyone needs food; it's an essential component of life. Disposable food serving utensils and tableware are a highly convenient choice, especially when the opportunity of using traditional plates and cutlery is limited. This is especially true in situations when there is limited space available. As a direct consequence of this, a comprehensive selection of products—including, but not limited to, plates, trays, spoons, forks, knives, cups, and straws—is currently offered for sale. Both the shape of the product (suited to the distribution and sales system) as well as the ecological element of the product (biodegradability and life cycle) should be of concern to producers and customers, particularly when considering the obviously developing trend of "eco-awareness." This is of utmost significance when considering items designed for a single use. The purpose of the research was to provide an overview of the most recent developments in terms of the biodegradability of disposable utensils that are designed to come into direct contact with food. This article provides a summary not only of conventional polymers but also of their contemporary alternatives, which are attracting the attention of makers and consumers of single-use items. 
Wholesale Disposable containers
Polymer is main raw material for disposable containers in most wholesale markets. Only a small portion of the polymers that are used most frequently in the production of disposable and single-use plastic are non-recyclable; the percentage does not surpass nine percent. However, recycling is a difficulty with certain of the polymers. Nonetheless, the application of the recycling system in the field of wastes from food packaging has been required as a result of emerging climate change as well as the theory of circular economy; however, in many countries, it is still not created or is not yet perfected. On the consumer side, there is no efficient recycling process, and the majority of waste from takeaways gets disposed of in landfills without any recycling taking place because it is dumped directly into the trash can. Along with an increased eco-awareness regarding the problem of micro plastic or Nano plastic (which has been supported by legacy initiatives), manufacturers have offered a wider portfolio of eco-friendly and biodegradable tableware and utensils, and customers have begun to choose these items as more sustainable alternatives. There is a diverse range of materials from which one-time use dinnerware and cutlery can be manufactured. The materials in question may originate from virgin or recycled sources. They can be obtained by simply sculpting the material into the desired form (for instance, wood-based utensils or flatware), as well as after a minor or highly complex processing, such as the preparation of molded composites of natural fibers (or other fillers) and (bio) plastics or completely (bio)-plastic items. For instance, wood-based utensils or flatware can be obtained by simply sculpting the material into the desired form. The phrase "bioplastics" is typically used in two different settings, both of which might lead to confusion. 
A substance that is at least partially derived from renewable resources is considered to be a bioplastic, as defined by the European Bioplastics Organization (biomass, microorganisms, etc.). The second meaning of this phrase refers to the biodegradability of the material, and in this sense, the term "bioplastics" can be viewed as an interchangeable replacement for the term "biodegradable materials." In general, there are five main categories of (bio) plastics-derived material that are used for the production of disposable utensils and cutlery. These categories are as follows: biodegradable and bio-based; non-biodegradable but bio-based; possessed from non-renewable sources but biodegradable; fossil-based and non-biodegradable; and composites of blended miscellaneous (bio)plastics, which can also be mixed with fillers of different origin In the following sections of this study, their history as well as their qualities in greater detail will be discussed. According to European Bioplastics, bioplastics make up approximately one percent (4.2 million tons) of the more than 368 million tons of plastic manufactured each year, but their proportion is steadily growing. At the same time, the packaging industry was the greatest area of application for bioplastics, accounting for 47% of the overall market for bioplastics in the year 2020. Making the decision to employ bioplastic disposable materials helps to ensure the production of more environmentally friendly goods for the packaging and serving of food. In recent years, reports referring to Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for numerous categories of single-use plastic-based products have been developed and published by the United Nations Environment Program. These assessments were prepared for several categories of products. Takeaway food packaging and its alternatives [8] and single-use plastic dinnerware and its alternatives are the two that make reference to the thorough LCA description of single-use plastics. These papers provide a synopsis of the findings of the investigation, which include a number of the environmental advantages and disadvantages that are associated with the manufacturing, upkeep, and use of these products. When designing a new product for commercialization, all of the aspects of that product's LCA, including an analysis of its features referring to degradation rates in various conditions, changes in mechanical and optical properties during storage, microbiological safety, and the possibility of releasing harmful compounds to packaged and served food, should be taken into consideration. For example, 
Disposable containers for food
Plastic Containers have a vast usage and functionality in worlds industry like disposable for food. The packaging industry accounts for 42% of total plastic manufacture, while the construction industry accounts for 19% and the textile industry accounts for 17%. Polypropylene (PP), low-density polyethylene (LDPE), polyester, acrylic, or polyamide fibers, high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyurethanes (PUT), polystyrene (PS), and additives are the principal polymers manufactured in the world. The most popular applications of LDPE, PP, HDPE, PET, PS, PVC, and EPS (expanded polystyrene) are in packaging intended expressly for the food industry. In 2019, the packaging industry accounted for 39.6% of total European Union plastics output. In addition, this industry consumed the most PP, LDPE, HDPE, PVC, PET, and PS (together with EPS) in the provided order. The above-mentioned polymers accounted for 19.3%, 17.5%, 12.2%, 10%, 7.7%, and 6.4% of total primary plastics made, respectively. The demand for plastics converters is dominated by polypropylene (PP), which has a capacity of roughly 10 million tons. However, due to the vast amount of its production, it is the world's second largest plastic resin. Its output had reached 56 million metric tons by the end of 2018, and it is expected that this figure will nearly double by the end of 2026. The increased production of PP can be ascribed to the material's excellent properties. permitting a wide range of applications while keeping ease of processing using a variety of thermoplastic-specific processes Polypropylene can be produced using anion, cation, or radical polymerization using stereospecific Ziegler-Natta catalyzers, starting with gaseous propylene as the starting material. Finally, a stereo regular polymer with chiral centers placed on carbon atoms coupled to methyl groups will be developed. Stereo regular PP can be atactic, which means irregular, syndic tactic, which means alternates, or isotactic, which means regular, depending on the position of the methyl groups in relation to the main chain. 
The isotactic form of polypropylene (PP) is regarded as having the best properties in the polypropylene (PP) family, notably in terms of tensile strength and stiffness. The bulk of commercially available propylene polymers are of the isotactic type, with less than 5% of the tactic kind. At arctic form is amorphous and sticky, and it is most commonly used as a hot-melt glue. Syndicate technique PP has a lower percentage of crystalline phase than the average but has a limited range of applications, mostly as an elastomer. Only isotactic polypropylene is utilized as a commercial plastic for food packaging, pipelines, fittings, carpets, and big molded parts for automotive and consumer products due to its semi-crystalline character and other qualities resulting from its high crystalline phase composition. This is due to the fact that isotactic polypropylene is the only form of polypropylene that possesses these properties. Furthermore, PP is used in the production of fibers for long-lasting lines, fishing nets, and filter textiles for the ceramic, culinary, and chemical industries. Polypropylene is the most often used polymer in rigid types of food packaging, such as pots, containers, tubs, bottles, pouches, and wrapping films. PP is used in the production of cast or biaxially oriented films, both of which require additional coatings or multilayer structures to obtain good gas barrier properties. Polyethylene or propylene-ethylene co-polymers can be used to provide sealing properties, whereas acrylics or ethylene vinyl alcohol can be used to produce barrier properties. Thermoplastic polymers include polyethylene and propylene-ethylene co-polymers. This enhancement can also be achieved through metallization (with aluminum) or lamination with aluminum foil, both of which provide a barrier against the effects of ultraviolet radiation. These films can be used to make disposable food containers such as bags or pouches, as sealed wrappings, as overwraps with meals placed on plastic trays, in carton board containers, or as lidding on them, or as overwraps with meals placed on plastic trays. Polypropylene films can be coated or laminated onto paperboard that will be used as containers or disposable packaging.
Wholesale food disposable containers
Over the past 50 years, the use of plastic products in wholesale capacity in the form of packaging or disposable containers for various food and beverages has increased significantly, and the current era is known as the plastic age. Plastics used in food contact are primarily derived from petroleum. Generally speaking, plastics are polymers made from raw materials called monomers. Monomers are toxic substances that are harmful to human health, while polymers are neutral without any problems, but the problem is that usually in the process of preparing polymers, some monomers are separated. Therefore, if unusable or unsuitable disposable containers are used to store food, these toxic monomers may migrate into the food, so you should be very careful when using plastic as food containers and do not use any type of plastic products. Plastics for food. Another important point to use with disposable containers is related to the type of color of these containers, which requires more care because in principle the material of disposable containers is such that they do not have the ability to retain color and when combined with tea or hot food The existing color dissolves and a layer of color enters the body with the food. When using single-use containers, pay attention to the abbreviations engraved on the bottom of the container, as these products can cause many health problems due to the migration of chemical monomers from the single-use container into the food if used improperly, egg: it will cause digestion by consumers Systemic and pulmonary diseases, as well as cancer and other non-communicable diseases Abbreviations and uses of disposable containers: Disposable containers with the abbreviation (ps) at the bottom are polystyrene containers, used for cold drinks below 40 degrees, but not suitable for food packaging above 65 degrees, and are also prohibited in all types of Fatty foods such as butter, margarine, etc. in polystyrene containers Abbreviation for polyethylene (PE), propylene (PP), expanded polystyrene (EPS) and white polystyrene (HIPS) containers used for packaging and storage of dairy products, oil and vinegar, moist heat food. Hot food such as soup etc. Use clear polystyrene containers (GPPS) for cold drinks only, not for hot food such as tea, coffee, etc. 
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) single-use containers are used for food packaging such as chicken and fish, as well as packaging for medicinal capsules and chewing gum. Packaging in this kind of container is not too harmful to dry materials, but it is not suitable for wet food, in which free monomers are likely to migrate into the food and then enter the body. The thing that experts warn recently is that in Iran, standard PVC (food grade) is not used for packaging food and health products, the industrial types of these materials are used in food and health industries regardless of the hazard. According to worlds experts, the use of industrial PVC for food and packaging has become completely obsolete worldwide, and even recently in household appliances and toys, such restrictions have arisen worldwide, despite the Ministry of Health, still, Due to economic interests, a group of producers continues to use materials whose effects on people's health have been revealed over the long term. According to existing recipes, it is forbidden to pack wet and dry food in PVC containers during filling and storage or transportation of food. Generally speaking, colorless and transparent disposable containers are only suitable for cold food and beverages, not for hot beverages and food. In addition, white disposable containers with foam are suitable for hot, cold and moist food, but not for hot food, such as pizza at 140 degrees Celsius is not recommended.
