Friends who follow us should know that in several previous articles, we have informed our friends about the meanings of the numerical symbols on the bottom of plastic water cups. For example, the number 1, the number 2, the number 3, etc. Today I received a message from a friend under an article on the website: I found that the plastic water cup I bought has no symbol on the bottom, but there is the word “tritan” on it. Is it normal for the plastic water cup to have no number symbol on the bottom? Of?
We have mentioned before that there is a numeric symbol 7 on the bottom of a plastic water cup, which represents PC and other plastic materials, including tritan material. So the plastic water cup purchased by this friend does not have a numeric symbol on the bottom, but does it have the word tritan on it? Is it qualified?
The National Quality Inspection Agency, the National Cup and Pot Association and the Consumers Association have all made clear regulations on the numerical marking of materials at the bottom of plastic water cups after 1995. The bottom of all plastic water cups sold on the market must clearly indicate the material properties with numerical symbols. , plastic water cups without numerical symbols are not allowed to be put on the market.
In recent years, due to various countries around the world implementing plastic restriction orders, many plastic materials are no longer allowed to be used as raw materials for the production of plastic water cups. In addition, tritan materials have been recognized as harmless plastic materials by various countries, so not only in the global market, There are also more and more plastic water cups made of tritan material on the Chinese market. We found that many plastic water cup manufacturers think that it is enough to mark the tritan font size on the bottom of the cup. This understanding is wrong.
It is okay to add the number symbol on the bottom of the plastic water cup plus the material name. For example, the number symbol 7 represents a variety of materials. In order to show the material distinction, it can be the number 7 plus the character tritan. In this case, it means that the material of the plastic water cup is tritan.
We believe that most manufacturers must use sufficient workmanship and materials when producing water cups, and the goods are genuine at a reasonable price. However, if the labeling is not standardized in accordance with national requirements, it will definitely confuse consumers. When I replied to a friend who left a message and told her that such labeling was not standardized, the response I received The other party has already told me to return the water cup. Therefore, in accordance with industry standards, the use of symbols in accordance with national requirements, and strict management of materials can not only gain the trust of the market, but also avoid losses caused by irregularities.
