Paper tableware has become the world's hot spots
China is a populous country, the lunch boxes used by national railway travel service departments are more than 800 million every year, and with the increase of traffic, it shows the growing trend; Shanghai consumes about 200 million lunch boxes annually as ten international metropolises. If all use foam lunch boxes, the seriousness of pollution on the environment can be imagined. To reduce and completely eliminate the "white pollution" harm, when the development of degradable plastics,paper tableware wholesale has become the world's hot spots, at the same time, all countries have legislation to address the problem of plastic waste disposal.
It is difficult to promote the use of paper lunch boxes and biodegradable disposable lunch boxes
However, from the actual market situation of snack box, on the one hand, the public opinion and the relevant government departments have strongly demanded the control of "white pollution"; on the other hand, up to now, the materials alternative the pure polystyrene such as special cardboard, degradation plastic had a successful trial and accredited by the national food hygiene supervision and inspection by authoritative departments, which logically can replace the simple polystyrene lunch boxes. However, it is regrettable that foam lunch boxes made of the polystyrene materials are still very popular on the market. But the paper lunch boxes and biodegradable dinnerware supply capacity in the Shanghai market is only about 20,000, which is minimal in the national market. Then why it is difficult to promote the use of new products meeting environmental requirements? It is mainly due to the following three aspects.
First of all, people's awareness of environmental protection need to be further strengthened. At present, although the "white pollution" has become more and more serious, many departments and units, including the tableware industry and food packaging, are not aware of the problem, they only focus on the immediate and cost accounting, which extensively use ordinary plastic products, and discard everywhere. For ordinary consumers, they can not immediately be aware that the snack box or plastic bag they use will not ruin even if in 100 years. Some companies turn a blind eye on serious industrial pollution, which is a piece of cake compared to the little snack box.
Second, we should achieve the relevant environmental legislation as soon as possible. Since ordinary plastic products will result in "white pollution", the relevant departments should develop appropriate laws and regulations as soon as possible, to reduce the use of or totally ban the use of "white pollution" on the market, to encourage and promote the use of new products using environmentally friendly new technologies, support the development of green products. Such legislation must be developed jointly by the department of environmental protection, sanitation, industry and commerce, Science and Technology Commission.
Third, use economic instruments to support environmentally friendly products, punishing industries polluting the environment, making the white pollution sources exit the market themselves. At present, the manufacturers produce ordinary foam products often base on low-cost price competitive advantage to drive environmentally friendly products out of the market. Compared to the foam lunch boxes serve as a source of pollution, the direct cost of the paper, and biodegradable class lunch box is larger, which is about 60% higher than ordinary products. If simply estimated by cost factors, it may be difficult to accept at the moment, but do you think about for future generations? How much is the cost to clear these pollutions in the future?
In the long term, environmental protection is a long-term basic national policy of China. Therefore, replace plastic tableware with paper tableware is the trend, which is just around the corner; the market potential is huge, and its application prospects must be very broad.
