（檳城）市面上出現仿冒的可化解保麗龍餐盒，小販受促細心觀察，不要買到假貨！
可化解保麗龍和仿冒的保麗龍顏色皆為淺褐色，不過在可化解保麗龍上面除了印有生產公司的商號之外，也印有“可化解”（Biodegradable）字眼；至於仿冒餐盒雖然有印上商號，但卻沒有“可化解”字眼。
陳貞源：相似度極高盼小販小心鑑定真偽JASA Eco高級經理（出口）陳貞源說，雖然目前該公司是唯一擁有生產可化解保麗龍餐盒及碗碟技術的公司，但是市面上卻出現了與其公司產品相似度極高的仿冒品。
他說，可化解保麗龍可在丟棄到土埋場首3個月就開始化解，測驗也顯示可化解保麗龍可在3年內完全化解。
他說，因為市場需求及市政局的禁用不可分解保麗龍的政策，有商家才會推出仿冒的保麗龍，不過有顏色的仿冒保麗龍售價卻與真正可化解保麗龍的價格一樣。
派4千保麗龍餐盒給小販“我們不是不願接受競爭，只是我們希望能夠在公平的情況下與其他商家競爭，因此希望小販能夠小心鑑定，所使用的是真貨還是仿冒品。”
陳貞源是於昨日（2日）在百家花園鄉村治安及發展委員會派送4千個免費可化解保麗龍餐盒、碟子及可化解塑料袋給立信花園小販時，如此說。
出席者包括光大區州議員黃偉益、百家花園鄉委會成員謝寶強及可化解塑料袋供應公司Sewanis（檳城）有限公司代表胡宏發。（星洲日報／大北馬）
Lunch Box with code but not ‘Biodegradable’ wording is simply carbon copy!
(PENANG) Replica biodegradable lunch boxes have been found recently in the market, hawkers are advised to take extra precaution when ordering their food packaging.
Both, the truly biodegradable and the replica lunch box share the same light brown colour. However the authentic one is embossed not just the company product code but also with the word ‘Biodegradable’, whilst the replicas only carry the product code.
Douglas Tan: “Hawkers are warned to be really careful in identifying between the authentic and the virtually identical replica.”
JASA Eco Senior Manager (Export) Douglas Tan said, although the company is the only manufacturer with technical knowledge in producing this biodegradable foam lunch box, plates and bowls, the market still found to have similar replica.
He continued, biodegradable foam lunch box will start to biodegrade after 3 months of dispose-and-buried in landfill. Through testing, it also shown that the mentioned foam lunch box will fully biodegraded within 3 years.
He said, due to market demand and in conjunction with the government’s ban on using non Bio-D polystyrene foam lunch box, there’s company who came out with faux biodegradable foam lunch box with the same colour yet selling at the same price as the authentic one.
Distributing 4000 Foam Lunch Boxes to hawkers
“It’s untrue that we aren’t willing to accept competition (in marketing Bio-D food packaging) but we hope that it’s all under fair and lawful circumstances. Therefore, we hope that the hawkers can examine carefully whether what they’re using is truly biodegradable or simply replica.” Douglas Tan said so during the free distribution of 4000 biodegradable lunch boxes, plates and Bio-D plastic bag to hawkers at Lip Sin Residence.
Participants also include Komtar ADUN Ng Wei Aik, Taman Pekakar JKKK Dennis Cheah and Bio-D plastic bag supplier Sewanis (Penang) Sdn. Bhd. Representative Frederic Foo.
