In our vast world overwhelmed by our waste, more than 5.2 trillion pieces of plastic are polluting our oceans. So we must find solutions to plastic pollution.
Jiangmen Hongxiangda Silicone Products is always looking for solutions to reduce plastic pollution - and silicone is one of the answers to one of the biggest problems on the planet. Why? Because silicone is amazing, its features and uses are far superior to plastic. It is more durable, non-toxic, and environmentally friendly than plastic.
We love silicone and we hope you like it too! For that reason, we're putting together the ultimate guide to silicones. We're shedding light on the magic of silicone and why it's the perfect alternative to reducing plastic waste.
What is silicone?
Silica gel alias: Silica gel, is a highly active adsorption material and is an amorphous substance. The main component of silica gel is silicon dioxide, which is chemically stable and non-flammable. Silica gel is made of 4 main components - silicon (sand), carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. All of these ingredients are abundant on our planet. Silicon is the second most abundant element on Earth's surface.
Silicone - durable, non-toxic, and simply awesome
Choose silicone - better for you, your health, and the planet.
But how durable is it?
Silicone is durable. Think of it like those very durable stainless steel pots that are passed down from generation to generation. Silicone is the same dynamic. It is very durable and of high quality and will last for many years. Reusable silicone products have the potential to reduce a lot of waste. Come to think of it, plastic (even the reusable kind) has a short lifespan. It quickly cracks or fogs, scratches, stains, and stinks.
Silicone can be reused indefinitely. It is extremely resistant to heat, cold, and rapid temperature fluctuations. You can safely put it in the microwave, dishwasher, or boil. It will not break down or deteriorate even under the harshest conditions. No stains. No smell. No cracks. Just awesome.
In our current culture, everything is disposable. It's not designed to last, so you have to keep buying more and more stuff. It also creates more and more waste (while draining all your savings). Using silicone products allows you to reduce the need for new things = less waste = less impact on the environment.
Is silicone safe for kids? The answer is yes
Silicone has no toxic chemicals leaching onto your food and no pores to collect bacteria. It is hypoallergenic and hygienic. Plus, you don't need to worry about chemicals like BPA. Therefore, silicone is safe for your baby.
Can silica gel be recycled?
Yes, silica gel is recyclable. The water-absorbing silica gel can be regenerated by heating at 120°C for two hours.
What about the environment?
Plastic is toxic from the day it is born to the last breath. It pollutes the air when it is manufactured and soil and water when it is discarded. Plus, it fills our oceans with waste. In water, it breaks down into tiny plastic particles that poison fish, birds, and ultimately... us.
Silicone is an ocean-friendly alternative to plastic.
Because silicone is so elastic, it doesn't break down into harmful tiny particles that can't be cleaned up. It is also not toxic to marine life or soil and water. If it is incinerated, it does not produce a cloud of toxic and harmful chemicals but instead produces silicon, water, and carbon dioxide.
