What are the main differences between PLA tableware and melamine tableware?
- Melamine tableware is plastic-based (made of melamine - formaldehyde resin) and releases melamine when contacting heat/acid! The Customers’ Foundation has spot-checked melamine tableware that is for sale on the market. Using the criteria of the Japanese Health Inspection Act, all items tested positive for melamine. In addition, if used for a long time, melamine ages and releases melamine even when not contacting heat/acid! Consuming excessive amount of melamine will not only increase the risk of the formulation of kidney stones, but also possibly cause cancer!
- PLA tableware: PLA was formerly used in medical applications as material for making surgical sutures and pegs. Its production method is shown in Figure 1. PLA tableware products are non-toxic, low-carbon, eco-friendly, and 100% degradable by microorganisms in the natural environment. Not only does it do no harm to our health, it does not cause pollution to the environment either. PLA tableware is the best choice to ensure food healthiness and safety!
What are the functions and heat resistance of your antibacterial chopsticks?
- Antibacterial: Lian Pin unique antibacterial chopsticks are recognized and authorized by the international antibacterial brand “Sanitized”. To ensure food safety, they can block up to 90% of E. coli and staphylococcus aureus and are completely safe to human bodies!
- Heat resistance and practical use: Lian Pin antibacterial chopsticks are tested to be non-deformed and safe when contacting hot food, soup and hotpot food and soup!
General PLA disposable knives, forks and spoons would turn soft at 55°C.
How can yours resist heat up to 100°C ( 212°F )?
PLA is natural and plant-based, so its heat resistance cannot be compared with that of petrochemical materials. Lian Pin® has been conducting research and development on this issue for many years! Using the formula based on our years of research and development, now our products’ are heat resistant up to 100°C (212°F) and are compostable by the BPI ASTM standards!!
Do you carry out OEM or ODM production?
We do! From research and development and production of materials, product design, product sampling, molding to production, Lian Pin has years of experience and decent technology on manufacturing PLA products. Our products are all tested through the strictest quality controls. We make only the best, most customer-satisfying products!
Among many corn-based products, yours are especially cheap; are the quality and other aspects of your products any different?
Our aim is to provide high-quality, green and safe tableware at prices that are most reasonable, in order to implement a green business’s responsibility to return more to the general public.
We hope that in the future, more and more consumers or companies in Taiwan will be familiar with Lian Pin corn-based non-toxic tableware.
If you have a chance to use Lian Pin tableware, you will find that it is sheeny and elegant just like ceramic tableware, but the former is lighter, firmer, shatterproof and suitable for many more uses.

For long-term use, will reusable tableware remain on with excessive food color?
Currently, in order to serve countries like Taiwan and Japan in the vast Asian market, we have done research and development on the stubborn food color left on tableware by curry and the like. Now Lian Pin products’ anti-staining level has tested better than that of other materials such as melamine and plastic!
