The environmental friendliness of a cutting board is mainly reflected in the selection of materials and the processing technology. Environmentally friendly cutting boards usually use natural, non-toxic materials, and use environmentally friendly processing technology to ensure that no harmful substances are released.
Selection of environmentally friendly materials
Solid wood cutting boards: such as solid wood materials such as ebony, these materials are usually dried at high temperatures, and the moisture content is kept between 8% and 15% to prevent cracking and deformation, while having good antibacterial properties.
Bamboo cutting boards: Made of materials such as high mountain bamboo, bamboo grows rapidly, has abundant resources, and is relatively affordable. Bamboo cutting boards have dense fibers, tough texture, antibacterial properties, are easy to clean daily, and are not easy to mold and fall off.
Environmentally friendly processing technology
Paint-free and glue-free technology: For example, ebony cutting boards use paint-free and glue-free technology, emphasizing green environmental protection and ensuring that no harmful substances are released. Antibacterial and anti-mildew technology: Ruchui Dahuang bamboo cutting board adopts the dual technology of "physical anti-mildew + natural antibacterial". It is boiled in boiling water and treated with high temperature crystallization to improve the anti-mildew performance, and adds bamboo Kun factor to form a long-lasting antibacterial layer. After testing by authoritative institutions, the long-lasting antibacterial rate reaches 99.9%.
Environmental standards and certifications
Some high-end cutting board brands will pass the testing and certification of authoritative institutions to ensure that their products meet environmental standards. For example, some bamboo cutting boards have been tested by authoritative institutions and the inhibition rate of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus is 99.9%.
