With the technological progress and production efficiency of the aluminum processing industry, the production cost of aluminum and aluminum foil has gradually decreased. The cost of aluminum lunch containers has been close to that of qualified polypropylene (PP) plastic containers. At the same time, with the progress of society, consumers' green consumption concepts and consumption habits are gradually established, food safety awareness, health and sanitation awareness, environmental and ecological awareness, and consumption capacity are constantly improving, and the application of aluminum foil lunch containers will become higher and higher.

Background: The rapid growth of the online food delivery industry has facilitated people's lives. The average usage time of lunch boxes is less than one hour. Since most of the discarded lunch boxes have not been cleaned, and many still have food residues, it is not easy to recycle the lunch boxes. The recovery price of take-out lunch boxes is usually two or three cents per kilogram, 50 lunch boxes can not be sold for 5 cents, plus the cost of cleaning the lunch box, there is basically no profit. The recycling site is not to be seen, so the takeout lunch box can only be thrown away with other garbage. Plastic waste cannot be recycled through clean channels, and can only be transformed into white pollution in the end, destroying the ecological environment. It takes at least 470 years for each plastic bag to completely degrade, and about 8 million tons of plastic is dumped into the ocean every year. However, these plastic wastes in the ocean cannot be decomposed and purified by themselves, and eventually return to our food chain invisibly. Scientists call this substance "plastic particles". On October 29, 2015, the authoritative popular science magazine "Scientific American" released a report on salt in China. The report shows that 15 common brands of salt purchased from all over China have found polyethylene terephthalate, glycol esters, polyethylene, cellophane and other plastics used in the production of plastic bottles. Sea salt is highly contaminated with plastic. There are more than 1200 plastic particles per pound (453g). Although the plastic particles of salt mine salt are relatively low, they also reach 800.
