By building a reliable brand of disposable environmental protection tableware, non plastic grain products can meet the needs of consumers for safety when using disposable tableware. The sustainable consumption mode can be realized through degradable disposable environmental protection tableware. By reducing the use of disposable plastic tableware, the carbon dioxide emission in the process of producing plastic with petroleum will be greatly reduced, the pollution of water source by disposable plastic tableware will be avoided, the plastic materials will not flow into the sea along the river, the damage of plastic to the marine ecosystem will be reduced. Reducing the use of disposable plastic tableware will reduce the possibility of death of terrestrial organisms due to eating waste plastic by mistake and prevent soil pollution.
