Paper Tube or Plastic Tube—Which One Will You Choose?
Degradation time：
Paper tubes are mainly made from plant fibre that are capable of being broken down by microorganisms in their natural environment. The degradation time is relatively short, ranging from a few weeks to a few months. For example, paper bags usually take 1 month and cardboard takes 2 months.
Plastic tube are difficult to be decomposed by microorganisms in the natural environment due to their chemical stability, and the degradation time is up to decades or even centuries. For example, the degradation time of plastic bags is usually 20 years, while that of plastic tube is up to 500 years.
Sprint company is committed to the concept of green environmental protection and produces products with biodegradable materials. During the production process, the principle of green production is strictly followed to reduce the damage to the environment.
Safety：
Paper tube material is non-toxic and harmless, does not contain harmful chemical substances, suitable for food, medicine and other packaging, can effectively protect product safety.
Harmful chemicals, such as stabilizers, may be added to plastic tube during the manufacturing process. These substances may migrate into the product and pose a threat to humans.
Price Comparison：
The main raw material for paper tube packaging comes from renewable resources, but the rising cost of raw materials as well as the large amount of water and energy required in the production process has led to increased costs.
Plastic tubes are relatively inexpensive to produce. Traditional plastic packaging such as PE, PP etc. are easy to mass produce. This greatly reduces production costs and improves competition.
However, as a source factory, we are committed to pushing products that are good value for money.
In conclusion, both have advantages and disadvantages. However, with the increasing awareness of environmental protection, we should actively promote the use of less environmentally polluting packaging, and enhance the recycling and utilization of packaging.
As a professional printing and packaging manufacture, our company can satisfy all the customization requirements of the customers without pollution.
