Description

DISINFECTION AND STERILIZATION OF DISPOSABLE PRODUCTS MADE OF PAPER AND BIOPLASTIC MATERIAL WITH GAMMA RAYS

KNOWN TYPE OF TECHNIQUE;

Scientific studies are carried out almost every month or at very frequent intervals on packaging hygiene in the world and these results are shared with the public. These studies can be conducted on a country-by-country basis as well as through international organizations or universities. In light of all this, these results have a negative impact on people and consumers and are often demoralizing.

In the state of the art, all boxes and parcels in which pizza or pies are placed are exposed and are very vulnerable to the formation of germs and bacteria coming from outside. Often, these corrugated cardboard layers stick to impurities, and due to insufficient level of hygiene in the warehouses where they are stored, various impurities and dirt are contaminated and these contaminants form germs and harmful bacteria directly on the boxes and parcels. Because the storage of corrugated cardboard sheets with high consumption capacity both in our country and in the world or keeping the hygiene level at logistic warehouses at high levels is not such a simple event. It is a serious process that requires continuous supervision and follow-up. However, the inadequacy of technological measures or the limited measures taken poses a danger for us at present.

On the other hand, where the boxes, boxes and other plastic packages produced are at the final point of sale, the storage and hygiene conditions are also inadequate and weak. Most of the time boxes and parcels are kept in the open, it cannot be prevented from walking on mice or other animals, the bottom and filthy part of the other boxes and other plastic packages are stored mixed by touching the usage area of the other box. This is a very unhealthy situation without hygiene.

On the other hand, the involuntary behavior of the customers makes a negative contribution to this process, even if it is unintentional. A customer who opens the lid of boxes, cups or other plastic packages handles the part corresponding to the interior with his hand, then discontinues taking the product and leaves the product again, creating a negative hygiene environment. This threatens the health of the customers who will receive the other product.

At present, the weakest point in terms of hygiene of boxes, boxes and other plastic packages produced from corrugated cardboard is that all surfaces of boxes and boxes pass through the production machine and dust, oil, etc. due to all production processes adhesion on the formation and the negative impact of boxes and boxes and other plastic packaging.

On the other hand, pastry, pie, dessert, pizza and so on. In food types served directly by placing them in cardboard box or plastic products, no precautions can be taken in terms of hygiene and every person or process that touches the cardboard box or plastic package creates a negative level of hygiene and uncontrolled practices occur.

For example; hand-cut dessert seller by opening the box to put the dessert, the hand did not wash his hand during the day with the money of a raw meatball seller to open the box of raw meatballs, desserts and pizza box types of pizza and desserts in places directly touched the lack of hygiene and put directly into the cardboard box are among the main problems. On the other hand, the cardboard or plastic cups are nested, the outer surface of the dirty part of the other glass should be clean into the place, in the same way fried potatoes are placed in the nested cardboard packaging creates other major problems in terms of hygiene.

The point that cannot be understood by consumers and food sellers here is that products that come into contact with food made of cardboard or plastic with a dirty outer surface actually enter the place where they should have clean and high-level hygiene and are stored and served to consumers in this way.

In the present case, which is described in detail above, there are also numerous known faults. For example, a pizza box goes through a production process from production to final consumer (customer), is temporarily stored where it is produced, then comes to the box production facility with trucks and lorries, then waits in warehouses at the box production facility, then passes through a production machine then stacked again, again to another storage facility with trucks and trucks, and finally reaches the consumer.

In all these stages, various dust and contaminated impurities adhere to the boxes, parcels and other packages. No precaution is taken for these adhering impurities, and moreover, the entire manufacturing industry and customers think these boxes and packages are clean. However, this is not the case, food-contact boxes, boxes and other plastic packaging on the threat of human health are harmful bacteria and microbes.

On the other hand, for this reason, it is not known as the exact number how many people in the world buy germs from boxes, boxes and other plastic packages. The current state of boxes, parcels and other plastic packages is unacceptable to the level of hygiene that threatens human health and transmits germs.

On the other hand, one of the points known as false is that every food produced under hygiene conditions in the food sector is healthy and does not produce germs and bacteria on it. The hygiene of the environment will, to some extent, make the product produced more hygienic and cleaner, but this does not mean that a product produced will be used without disinfecting, especially if it comes into contact with food. For example, an apple cannot be eaten without being washed

On the other hand, the plastic cups, plastic cutlery, plastic plates, which we use in our daily lives, consume all products made of plastic without washing, and this poses a very risky situation in terms of health. Because there is a contradiction here. The person who buys the glass cups puts these glass cups into the dishwasher first and uses them after washing. Or this glass cup that he bought is washed by hand in the fountain by his own means and then used. The number of people who use a glass cup without washing is almost nonexistent.

It is also a big question mark that the products we use in our daily lives, especially those made from plastic and derivatives that come into contact with food, can also be used without washing. Water storage carboys made of plastic are among the subjects that people wonder about how and how disinfection is performed and how healthy it is.

The general deficiency of the products which are tried to be explained with various examples above is that they are sold after production without being subjected to any disinfecting process and used by people. This has negative effects on human health.

ADVANTAGES OF THE SUBJECT OF THE INVENTION;

The system according to the invention is new and applicable to the industry. The subject of the invention is disinfected bioplastic spoon, disinfected bioplastic cutlery, disinfected bioplastic knife, disinfected bioplastic rod, disinfected bioplastic plate, disinfected bioplastic tray, disinfected bioplastic cup, disinfected bioplastic pipette, disinfected bioplastic cup lid, and will be presented as a bacteria-free product and the customer will have used healthy and hygienic products.

One of the biggest advantages of the system according to the invention is that the disposable products made of paper and bioplastic material are healthier in terms of human health compared to products made of cardboard coated with polyethylene (PE) material and they do not contain any germs on them because they are disinfected with gamma rays. Microbes on or in the materials disinfected with gamma rays die and the product is reduced to zero germ level. One of the biggest advantages of the system according to the invention is the use of disposable products (disinfected bioplastic spoons, disinfected bioplastic cutlery, disinfected bioplastic knife, disinfected bioplastic stick, disinfected bioplastic dish, disinfected bioplastic tray, disinfected bioplastic tray, disinfected bioplastic pipette, disinfected bioplastic cup lid, disinfected bioplastic food containers) is the number of microbes and harmful bacteria entering the human body will be reduced to zero. This will reduce the number of microbes and bacteria that people have received indirectly and will not contribute to unnecessary illness, and therefore will not lead to unnecessary labor loss, and moreover, because of the fact that there will be no illness or microbe entry into the body, it will also contribute to the health care facilities to decrease costs. Hygiene is currently the most important health problem for consumers in the world, and disinfecting and sterilizing disposable products in the beverage and food sector will result in a significant reduction in the number of microbes that are transmitted to humans from the use of other products in the world. This means that the human life will be prolonged and will have a healthier body structure during his / her lifetime.

Plastics commonly known and used today are derived from fossil fuels such as oil and coal. Bioplastics are plastics obtained from renewable biological sources such as vegetable fats and oils, plant starches, or microorganisms. Many types of bioplastics have biodegradable properties and dissolve in nature over time and dissolve into nature. Bioplastics such as resins, rubber, cellulose have been used by humans since ancient times. Although the first industrial bioplastics were produced in countries such as Germany and the USA since the early 1900s, the production of modem bioplastics has become widespread in the last 30 years.

Biodegradable Substance; It is the substance that can be incorporated into the cycle in nature by being biodegraded with the help of micro-organisms in nature and then converting to basic substances such as C02 and Water. No time limit is specified and no compo stability requirement is required.

Humus Compostable Substance; It is a substance that can be transformed into arable humus soil (compost) in a controlled environment within a maximum of 180 days through biodegradation. It requires compliance with world-renowned standards such as ASTM D6400, DIN V 54900, EN 13432. Superior Properties of Bioplastics;

Bioplastics have significant advantages especially in terms of human and environmental health when compared to plastics obtained from petroleum. Bioplastics are obtained from renewable sources. Unlike petroleum-derived plastics that produce both a high greenhouse gas effect and consume natural resources, they are sustainable materials. Many types of bioplastics are biodegradable. Unlike petroleum-based plastics, which continue to pollute nature for hundreds or even thousands of years without degradation, and contain toxic substances, bioplastic substances interfere with the environment after they have reached the end of their life and prevent environmental pollution and do not leave harmful, toxic substances. The negative effects of additives such as BPA, PVC, Phthalate and Styren on petroleum-based plastics on human health are revealed by new researches. Bioplastics obtained from natural and biological sources are safer for the environment and human health as they may not contain harmful petroleum chemicals.

On the other hand, the most important advantages of the disinfected and sterile method with gamma ray (y) method are;

• High sterilization assurance

• Applicable to disposable products of any density
