As global attention focuses on sustainable development and net-zero emission goals, businesses must consider not only practicality and safety when choosing tableware materials but also the impact on carbon reduction. CPET reusable tableware emerges as an innovative solution that combines environmental sustainability with durability. At the same time, Living Fountain achieves dual objectives of carbon reduction and circularity in both manufacturing and usage processes.
What is CPET Reusable Tableware?
PET is a food-safe plastic commonly used for beverage bottles in its non-crystallized state. When crystallized through a patented physical process, CPET (Crystallized Polyethylene Terephthalate) retains PET's advantages of being lightweight, impact-resistant, and recyclable while significantly enhancing its heat resistance. Certified by SGS testing, CPET tableware remains deformation-free and free from harmful substances (such as plasticizers, BPA, etc.) even at 140°C, meeting U.S. FDA food safety standards.
Compared to single-use tableware, CPET reusable tableware boasts a longer lifespan (approximately 3–5 years) and can dramatically reduce carbon emissions over its product lifecycle.
Taking a 250ml soup bowl as an example:
• CPET bowl carbon emissions: 0.25KGCO2e
• Disposable paper soup bowl carbon emissions (3 years, 1,000 pieces): 41.2KGCO2e
• Ceramic soup bowl carbon emissions: 66.8KGCO2e
• Glass soup bowl carbon emissions: 20KGCO2e
This data highlights CPET reusable tableware's ability to significantly lower carbon emissions, especially when compared to ceramic tableware, making its carbon reduction benefits even more pronounced.
Greener Materials and Manufacturing Processes
CPET reusable tableware can also be manufactured using PCR recycled plastics (rPET). According to the Nan Ya Plastics Sustainability Report, rPET reduces greenhouse gas emissions by up to 72% compared to traditional PET. By utilizing recycled PET bottles as raw materials to produce crystallized PET tableware, businesses can adopt eco-friendly products and participate in the waste recycling process, further reducing carbon emissions.
• Solar Power Generation: Solar power systems installed at the facility have a capacity of 97.905 kilowatts, generating over 124,000 kWh of renewable energy annually and reducing carbon emissions by 62,820 kilograms. The new facility will upgrade this capacity to 250 kilowatts, aligning with the SDGs goal of "Affordable and Clean Energy."
• Energy-efficient Equipment: The gradual replacement of traditional machinery with fully electric injection molding machines reduces energy consumption and improves production efficiency.
Closed-Loop Recycling and Customer Engagement
Living Fountain not only achieves carbon reduction in manufacturing but also actively promotes a closed-loop recycling system. By implementing a reward-based recycling program for corporate clients and consumers, the company encourages the recycling and reuse of old tableware, aligning with the SDGs goal of "Responsible Consumption and Production." With CPET reusable tableware, corporate clients directly contribute to the development of a green supply chain and the realization of industrial circularity.
