Basic Information
Scope
Scope: This standard applies to degradable paper straws (hereinafter referred to as "the product") for single-use food consumption, which are mainly made of paper used for food packaging, with appropriate additives added, and then subjected to tube-making, shaping, and packaging processes. Main technical content: The bending degree of the product should be ≤1.5%. (Note: The bending degree is only required for straight straws and pointed straws.) The unfolding rate of the spoon-shaped end of the product should meet the following requirements: a) For spoon-shaped straws with an outer diameter ≤6mm, the maximum width (K) of the unfolded spoon-shaped end after unfolding should be ≥80% of the circumference of the straw; b) For spoon-shaped straws with an outer diameter >6mm, the maximum width (K) of the unfolded spoon-shaped end after unfolding should be ≥65% of the circumference of the straw. Among any 100 bendable straws and U-shaped straws, the total number of straws that break after being gently straightened should be ≤2. The physicochemical indicators of the product should comply with GB 4806.8 and related provisions. The microbiological indicators of the product should comply with GB 4806.8 and related provisions. The degradation rate of the product should reach 90% and meet the degradation requirements specified in the evaluation system of biodegradability under composting conditions in EN 13432:2000. The degradation rate of the product should reach 60% and meet the degradation requirements specified in GB/T 20197-2006 for compostability.
