With the rise of environmental awareness and the trend of reducing plastic life around the world, more and more consumers will bring their own reloadable environmental protection cups when buying drinks to reduce the production of disposable garbage. In May, 100, the Environmental Protection Department announced the "incentive Scheme for Beverage Cup Recycling". Chain fast food restaurants, chain convenience stores and chain beverage stores should provide consumers with their own beverage cups. What should consumers pay attention to when using refillable coffee cups to enjoy all kinds of hot drinks such as hot coffee, hot tea or hot chocolate? The German Federal Institute for risk Assessment (The Federal Institute for Risk Assessment, BfR) makes the following recommendations:

1. Coffee cups must be cleaned regularly, washed with hot water and detergent or in a dishwasher, and kept dry after washing to prevent the growth of bacteria.

two。 When filling hot drinks, avoid touching the outlet of the machine to prevent the spread of bacteria.

3. Try to choose materials that are smooth and easy to clean the surface, such as porcelain, stainless steel, heat-stable plastic and glass, and must comply with the provisions of the law, and their composition must not be transferred to the beverage in full package. the material had better be able to use dishwasher to clean and heat-resistant, and ideally can resist both disinfectant and corrosion resistance, when scratches and cracks appear on the surface, it is not recommended to use it.

4. There are many environmental protection cups that boast the use of natural non-toxic materials, such as bamboo fiber, wheat straw, corn and so on, but the main components of the cups are plastic materials. If the plastic material is a non-heat-resistant material, such as a melamine dish, it is not recommended to carry hot drinks or foods exceeding 70 °C. Melamine and formaldehyde polymerization, when this kind of food contact containers containing more than 70 °C hot drinks or food, will increase the risk of releasing toxic substances, consumers should pay attention to the product label when buying, confirm the heat-resistant material.

5. Follow the manufacturer's instructions, for example, whether it is suitable for cleaning in the dishwasher or in the microwave oven.
