Industry reshuffle in the policy storm

When the EU SUP directive requires the elimination of all disposable plastic food packaging by 2025, China's "14th Five-Year Plan" plastic pollution control action plan also includes catering takeout in key supervision. In this global environmental protection wave, aluminum foil containers have become the key to breaking through with a 99% recycling rate - but its value is far from being summarized by the word environmental protection.
After replacing the plastic cup lid with an aluminum foil lid, a leading milk tea brand unexpectedly found that the customer unit price increased by 14%. Consumer research reveals the truth: 72% of users believe that metal packaging conveys a sense of "high-end and safety", and this psychological premium is the hidden value that plastic packaging cannot achieve.

Breaking the cost myth of the catering industry
"The unit price of aluminum boxes is 2.5 times that of plastic boxes", which has become the heart knot of most operators. However, a light food brand in Shanghai that sells 100,000 orders per month has overturned cognition with practice:
Reversal of logistics costs: The patented stacking design of aluminum foil lunch boxes makes the warehouse volume utilization rate reach 92%, which is 130% higher than that of plastic boxes, saving 38,000 yuan in storage fees per month
Customer complaint costs are reduced to zero: The refund rate caused by microwave heating deformation has dropped from 11% to 0.2%
Brand value-added is explicit: With the "environmentally friendly packaging" marketing, the repurchase rate has increased by 31%, and the member deposit amount has increased by 45%
More importantly, the cost reduction brought about by technological evolution. The new generation of 1.0mm ultra-thin high-strength aluminum foil is designed with a honeycomb bionic structure. Under the premise of bearing 1.8kg without deformation, the material consumption is reduced by 40%, and the cost per box is compressed to 0.62 yuan.

The fission effect of scenario-based innovation
In a Japanese food restaurant in Shenzhen, the chef found that the aluminum foil box can be directly used to roast the surface of salmon with a spray gun, and the coking effect is comparable to the open fire in the kitchen. This seamless migration of cooking scenes has given rise to a new selling point - "dine-in-level takeaway", which has enabled the store's average customer spending to exceed the regional average by 53%.
The pain point of pre-prepared food factories is frozen explosion boxes. A listed company uses the -196℃ deep-freeze fresh-keeping technology we developed. The shrinkage rate of the aluminum foil box in a liquid nitrogen environment is controlled at 0.03%. Combined with the PE film coating process, the sauerkraut fish soup still maintains a micro-airbag buffer layer after freezing, and the transportation damage rate is reduced from 17% to zero.

The technological revolution that has come in the future
The cutting-edge nano-anodizing technology is subverting traditional cognition. A bakery chain uses the rose gold aluminum foil paper tray we developed, and the thickness of the oxide film layer is accurate to 25 microns. It not only achieves an antibacterial rate of 99.8% (ISO 22196 certification), but also triggers the spontaneous spread of "Internet celebrity packaging" on social media, and the daily sales of a single store soars by 300%.
What is more noteworthy is the rise of smart packaging. Through the aluminum foil lunch box implanted with RFID temperature-sensitive chips, consumers can scan the code to view the temperature control records of the entire chain of dishes from production to delivery. This technology has helped a high-end postpartum meal brand establish a food safety trust system and reduced customer acquisition costs by 62%.
