What is unique about this new plastic?

Food grade material Tritan (modified PCT), the world’s most powerful

Seeing a table full of messy paper cups was the inadvertent beginning of my determination to find Tritan.

In recent years, domestic industry players have begun to use Tritan material to make tableware, among which the research and development and achievements of Shengshiliangpin are the most eye-catching. In 2019, Zhan Jingzhong, the founder of Shengshiliangpin, was busy negotiating official business when he discovered that the table was full of paper cups. He began to think about how to produce food utensils that are environmentally friendly, heat-resistant, non-toxic, lightweight, and contain aesthetic concepts. With the belief that "even in the manufacturing industry, we hope to become a manufacturer of industrial cycles", he began to research the green and environmentally friendly material Tritan copolyester to promote green concepts and develop various molds, hoping to achieve this with more companies. ESG’s concept of sustainable common good.

Colorful yet extremely safe "Duoshi Lunch Box"

Using Tritan (modified PCT) as the raw material, Shengshi Liangpin has further created the exclusive brand "Duoshi Lunch Box". In addition to the glossy surface comparable to ceramic tableware, it is microwaveable, dishwasher safe, acid, alkali and high temperature resistant. features, making it more convenient and safer to use. The design can be stacked and stored to save space. The layered concept also allows the dishes to be properly separated in presentation so that the food is not mixed up.

Commonly used by corporate groups to ingrain the concept of environmental protection and sustainability

In terms of environmental protection and people's dining health, Shengshi Liangpin believes that we cannot start with food alone, but need to extend to "eating utensils". Through the safety and stability of Tritan (modified PCT) material, it not only provides users with a safe food experience, but is also very suitable for corporate groups to work together to take care of the food safety and health of employee groups through the most important three meals. It also allows companies to participate in environmental sustainability.

Tableware designed with special materials is not only lightweight in appearance, but also resistant to drops, safe and resistant to high temperatures. These features allow large enterprises to operate more easily when serving a large number of meals, avoiding the bulkiness of ceramic tableware, and at the same time avoiding the risk of breakage and cuts. They also eliminate the easy thermal conductivity and iron odor of stainless steel tableware, creating a unique It’s a win-win situation where the dining experience is good and the catering staff can reduce the burden.

In addition, in order to further promote the green sustainable cycle, Shengshi Liangpin provides educational materials and concept videos related to the green plastic cycle, allowing corporate groups to easily promote and convey the concept of participating in the green industrial cycle, protecting the health of the people, and ensuring food safety to Employees, customers and the general public not only promote the green economy of the industry and ensure sustainable consumption and production models, but also achieve points for business image and supply management.

Make full use of the United Nations’ green economy and sustainable thinking to promote ESG corporate goals

In addition, the food tableware made locally in Taiwan is deeply cultivated in the local area and co-prosperous with the community. It recruits local talents and increases the local employment rate. While using high-quality food, it also strengthens local connections and connects consumption with Taiwan. Give back to the local area, take practical actions, and add points to the marketing and promotion of the brand image to serve as a communication bridge between you and social responsibility.

Shengshi Liangpin has also established a set of its own B2B closed recycling mechanism with the goal of item 12 of the United Nations Sustainable Development SDGs "Promoting a green economy and ensuring a sustainable consumption and production model", and provides an incentive mechanism to encourage customers Recycle old tableware and recycle it into secondary new products, such as fragrance racks, recycled flower pots, tableware storage boxes, etc., step by step to implement the industrial cycle and practice ESG sustainable thinking.

Science and technology factories, pharmaceutical factories, and five-star hotels are all represented by Shengshi Liangpin, which is deeply rooted in sustainability at every step.

Nowadays, Shengshi Liangpin cooperates with employee canteens of well-known domestic technology companies, pharmaceutical factory employee canteens, five-star hotels, and rental laundry operators to provide high-quality tableware services. Among them, the cooperation method with the laundry industry is to recycle used tableware into a closed cycle recycling mechanism. After being recycled at a fixed point and in a quantitative manner, it is then screened, crushed, and remade into secondary cycle products to form a recycling and reuse system. cycle mechanism. A series of actions not only opened up the green tableware industry cycle, but also helped many domestic companies achieve ESG concepts and steadily move towards a new sustainable future.

Faced with a dazzling array of tableware, it is recommended that both companies and consumers should choose earth-friendly materials and tableware, which not only take into account health, practicality and beauty, but also contribute to the sustainable development of the earth.

Utilizing recycled old tableware, Shengshi Liangpin and Liwan Pusha recycle items that would have been directly eliminated into secondary new products such as fragrance holders, recycled flower pots, and tableware storage boxes.
