In other words, BOX Household's bamboo fiber lunch boxes contain 50% PP material, which is molded by plasticizing the pellets, melting and finally injection molding. We have abandoned the traditional way of pressing glue, so there is no adhesive stored in the product, and there is no melamine, a harmful substance, it is truly environmentally friendly and healthy ........
