If the dinnerware does not state 100 Melamine then what other chemicals are combined to manufacture it?

When you purchase melamine dinnerware, make sure you find out whether it is made of 100% melamine. There are a lot of melamine dinnerware manufacturers who use another material called urea-formaldehyde to replace or mix with melamine-formaldehyde to reduce cost. These are inferior quality melamine and it should also be called as imitation products because they are not made of 100% melamine (melamine formaldehyde. 100% melamine tableware are made of purely melamine formaldehye which is guaranteed food safe and able to withstand high temperatures whereas urea-formaldehye is not suitable to for food contact products because they cannot withstand high temperatures. Therefore they can only be used on non-food contact products such as electrical appliances. Therefore, it is not that all melamine dinnerware ares unsafe. It is those inferior quality melamine products (mixed with urea-formaldehyde) that is not safe for manufacturing dinnerware.

Is it safe to use melamine ware?

Melamine ware has been with us a long time. It is stable and inert, and it is safe to use as long as it isn't overheated, as in a microwave or on a stove. It should never be used in the oven. Melamine breaks down under heating. The resin decomposes and can (does) pose a health risk if ingested. If it isn't "baked" into significant color change, no problem. The "scare" with melamine is based on the use of melamine powder as a protein source in food additives. What a bad choice! It makes stuff "look" as if it has more food value to chemical tests for content, and, because product was analyzed in this way, it sneaked into the food chain - pet food in particular. (Actually, it technically didn't sneak into the food chain. It was blown by inspection processes. Big difference.) It is poorly and incompletely digested. And it is toxic in more than trace amounts. It should not be included for any reason in anything that is destined to be eaten - by critters with four legs or critters with two. Soap box time. As agribusiness and food production conglomerates search for profits and supply chains become more complex, we leave ourselves open to this kind of (serious) nonsense. And government oversight is thin. Couple that with the ancient mandates on the books regulating food product standards and we could be said to have been asking for it as regards the melamine incidents. Thanks for the kind attention. There are melamine pieces that have been "in the family" for decades, and some are treasured more than the family silver. As they should be. They are also completely safe to use when not heated to significant discoloration. Kudos to the chemists who ideated melamine. A slap on the wrist to someone who carelessly overheats it. And all shame on the food fools that decided it was a good thing to put in anything consumable.


Write short notes on solid waste management solid waste practiced?

Can using melamine dishes damage a microwave oven?

In most cases no, the microwave is more likely to damage the melamine dishes. If you got real careless though and let melamine get hot enough to ignite something then it could damage the microwave. The main problem with melamine in a microwave is it can easily get hot enough to burn you, causing you to drop a hot dish of hot food. I used melamine frequently in my microwave, but only for reheating cold refrigerated leftovers. And then I always made sure the dish was completely full, so that the food would be heated by the melamine as well as partially shielding the melamine. Also I always checked it closely, usually breaking the cook time into 3 or 4 shorter intervals. Hot food on a warm melamine plate stayed hot much longer than food on a paper plate. I don't recommend this however, get careless at all and you will crack and char your melamine dishes.

Collect information about biodegradable and non biodegradable substance?

If something is biodegradable, that means that it will break down and rot away. Virtually any kind of food is biodegradable, whereas plastic containers or bags are non-biodegradable. That is, they don't rot. They just sit around causing problems for animals and the environment.
