Common Myths About Wax Coated Boxes Debunked
When it comes to packaging solutions, wax coated boxes are a familiar sight in many industries, particularly for transporting perishable goods. However, several misconceptions surround their use, environmental impact, and functionality. As part of the Richer Group, a collective dedicated to innovative and sustainable packaging solutions across our subsidiaries like Xiamen Richer Plastic Co., Ltd and Xiamen Greenlife Eco Tech Co., Ltd, we believe in clarifying facts. Let us debunk some common myths about wax coated boxes.
Myth 1 Wax Coated Boxes Are Harmful to the Environment
A prevalent myth is that all wax coated boxes are environmentally unfriendly. While traditional petroleum based waxes can pose challenges, the industry has evolved significantly. At Richer Group, our commitment to environmental stewardship is reflected in our motto, "Environmental life, Green globe." We actively develop and promote eco friendly alternatives. Many modern wax coatings now use biodegradable or plant based materials, drastically reducing their environmental footprint. Our subsidiary, Xiamen Greenlife Eco Tech Co., Ltd, specializes in such sustainable solutions, ensuring that wax coated boxes can be part of a greener supply chain without compromising performance.
Myth 2 They Cannot Be Recycled
Another common belief is that wax coated boxes are not recyclable. It is true that boxes with certain types of wax coatings can complicate traditional recycling processes. However, this is not a universal rule. Advances in recycling technologies and the development of new coating formulations have improved recyclability. Furthermore, many facilities now have methods to handle these materials. We encourage clients to consult local recycling guidelines. Our group emphasizes innovation to ensure our packaging options, including wax coated boxes, align with circular economy principles wherever possible, supporting efforts to minimize waste.
Myth 3 Wax Coated Boxes Are Excessively Expensive
Some assume that the protective benefits of wax coated boxes come with a high cost. In reality, when considering the total cost of ownership—including reduced product damage, spoilage, and the need for additional protective materials—these boxes often prove cost effective. Our manufacturing excellence, with a 13000 square meter facility and advanced machinery, allows us to produce high quality packaging efficiently. This operational scale helps manage costs, making durable solutions like wax coated boxes an economical choice for protecting valuable goods, especially in logistics and food packaging.
Myth 4 They Are Only for Food Packaging
While wax coated boxes are indeed excellent for food packaging due to their moisture resistance, their use is not limited to this sector. They are versatile and serve various industries, including healthcare packaging, where integrity against humidity is crucial. The Richer Group’s expertise across different packaging types allows us to tailor wax coated solutions for diverse needs, from supermarket chains to specialized logistics, ensuring product safety across the board.
Myth 5 The Coating Easily Melts and Is Unreliable
A concern is that wax coatings melt easily, making them unreliable. While wax can soften at high temperatures, the specific formulation and application method matter greatly. High quality wax coated boxes are designed to withstand standard shipping and storage conditions. Our production processes employ rigorous quality control and cutting edge technology to ensure the coatings provide consistent performance, offering reliable moisture and grease resistance for which they are chosen.
In conclusion, wax coated boxes remain a valuable packaging option when their properties and modern advancements are fully understood. At Richer Group, we are dedicated to providing innovative, sustainable, and practical packaging solutions. We invite you to learn more about our products and how we can support your packaging needs while contributing together to a more sustainable future.
