"Blank" and "Push Green" should be in full swing

Nowadays, there are various kinds of disposable tableware, such as pulp molding, cardboard compression film, straw, starch, degradable plastics, and foamed plastics, which can be said to be mixed balls. The eliminated ones are not eliminated. Alternative alternatives do not work. As we all know, at the beginning of 1999, the State Economic and Trade Commission issued an order No. 6 approved by the State Council to restrict the elimination of disposable foam plastic tableware by the end of 2000, and many local governments have successively issued “white ban” regulations. Following the Order No. 6, the State Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision issued the national standard for "General technical conditions for disposable degradable catering equipment" and stipulated that two categories of five types of catering equipment replaced foam plastic catering equipment. The purpose of the 6th and the national standard is to control "white pollution" and promote "green products." However, foam plastic tableware is still unobstructed on the market today.
Disposable tableware, a small product, although insignificant in social life, directly affects the safety and health of current consumers, affects the ecological environment and sustainable development, and affects the welfare and misfortune of future generations. Therefore, it is necessary to remind People think about problems from this perspective and take countermeasures. Governance "white pollution" alone is difficult to eliminate market adjustments to eliminate disposable foam plastic tableware, the implementation of green products is the governance of "white pollution", a major measure to protect the environment. Some people say that the key to the elimination and replacement of alternatives depends on the market. The author believes that from an economic point of view, ecological construction and the protection of the environment, like infrastructure, cannot rely solely on market regulation. We cannot use the eliminated harmful products and alternative beneficial products in the general market competitive industries. Green can't be completed by market competition, let alone price is a choice between leverage, and what is needed is government action, mandatory measures, and policy tilt to monitor and manage. Otherwise, it must be banned, but it is difficult to push.
One of the main reasons why foam plastic tableware still occupies the market is the so-called price advantage. This kind of price theory itself defines the environmental protection industry as a general competitive industry, allowing the market to adjust itself spontaneously and survive the fittest. This understanding is one-sided and not fair. It is a fact that the price of tableware, such as pulp molding, is higher than that of foamed plastic products, and it is difficult for consumers to accept that it is not in conformity with reality. Those who shout at consumers nowadays can't afford it, not the individual consumers themselves, but also the producers of foam plastic tableware and the operators of their products, especially wholesalers and fast food owners in circulation. As we all know, the price is composed of many factors, one of which is the cost of production.
Different materials, different technologies, different technical content, different environmental benefits and economic benefits, of course, the cost is different, why must the foam plastic tableware as the standard to determine its price? Why do you have to compare a useful and harmful product? Why do we have to compare a replacement that has been eliminated and a new one? Taking a step back, even if it is market regulation, competition is not fair. According to this price to choose, the elimination can not be eliminated, the alternative can not be replaced, "white pollution" had to be contaminated. Starting from sustainable development, when we consider costs, it is important to include environmental and resource costs when calculating production costs, and we must also focus on social costs. The small paper mills that have been shut down have only sewage and pollution, and the production cost is low. Because of the harm to the society, they have been shut down despite the market competitiveness in terms of price. The disposal of foamed plastic tableware only for its waste is about 10 times its own production price. Producers “take profits away and leave behind pollution” and pass on the cost of governing “white pollution” to the society. This kind of cost-outloading increases the burden on the government and society, and it also pollutes the environment. This big account is often overlooked. If the "white pollution" brought by the foamed plastic tableware is left to the producers themselves, the cost of the products will be higher than that of the paper mold products. I am afraid that it will completely lose its competitiveness in the market.
"Blank" should grasp the source and strengthen the implementation of the State Economic and Trade Commission No. 6 orders from the date of release has been two years, disposable foam plastic tableware limited out period of more than a few months. According to industry sources, relevant government departments are currently discussing specific implementation methods. Of course, the governance of "white pollution" is not just a matter for the government departments. It needs the attention of the whole society and comprehensive management. However, the use of administrative coercive measures to eliminate foamed plastic tableware is difficult for non-governmental actors. Considering various factors, the implementation of the No. 6 Order still requires a lot of work. There is still a certain degree of difficulty, and it takes a certain amount of time. Therefore, the “deferred period” is implemented. Nothing more than the manufacturer needs to adjust the product structure or change production, production workers to do the arrangements, the original inventory products need to be handled, in the implementation of the relevant government departments in charge of the scope of business to coordinate and separate implementation. These problems seem to be practical problems to be solved, but they must not constitute the reasons for the deferred phase-out. It has already been two years since the 6th order was publicly released. Is it that the production factories of the products that were eliminated and the local government where they were involved did not consider converting and workers' arrangements for so long? Even if a new project of a similar scale should be put into production? Called to deal with the inventory of overstock products, in fact, is expanding the re-production, which is the key to affecting the green tableware is difficult to occupy the market.
At present, there are still some foam plastics production and operators, driven by local interests, playing tricks "have policies and countermeasures," take advantage of weaknesses, and continue to increase production. Some people also worry that green tableware can't substitute foam plastic tableware for the time being, and it is difficult to meet market needs. This worry is also unnecessary. There was no congestion, because the products that were eliminated did not leave the market and the alternatives were crowded out. The real backlog was the green tableware such as pulp molding. The production equipment cannot be operated at full capacity and the hands and feet are tied. To take a step back, even if the production of alternatives is temporarily insufficient, it is rather unduly rampant and harmful products should not continue to be harmed. The implementation of the No. 6 decree involves all aspects and some policy issues. All parties involved must work together to be implemented. In fact, some departments such as the railway system have achieved initial success. The elimination of foamed plastic tableware is not difficult nor difficult. According to the author's opinion, everything starts from the source, and it is recommended that the government and relevant departments concentrate their efforts on the source. It is imperative that the foam plastic production project be banned and shut down. And go all the way, and then deal with other related issues and legacy issues. Blocking the source of manufacturing products, eliminating circulation and consumption, and reducing some subsequent troubles, such as recycling, processing, or the collection of environmental taxes and other punitive measures, may achieve a multiplier effect. We firmly believe that governments at all levels and related enterprises will surely take this small tableware closely related to the safety and health of the people's lives and widely use them, proceed from the long-term interests of ecological construction and environmental protection, and implement the implementation of the No. 6 order to the end and fully implement it. .
Strengthening industry supervision and self-improvement and self-improvement The current one-time degradable tableware has become a social hot spot. Order No. 6 and related supporting policies have provided excellent opportunities for emerging green tableware. Since it is an emerging product, there is a problem of development and maturity. According to various sources, various types of disposable biodegradable tableware have emerged, and in addition to the maturity of pulp molding products, there are still some problems that need to be improved in other types. For example, the world suspects that the objective of degradation of degraded plastic products is achieved. The overall product can become lumps, and the quality of the plastic material will not change qualitatively. Can pesticide residues in straw be completely eliminated? Is there any conflict between starch products and food use, and can the product meet the performance of fast food? All of these require scientific and practical verification to dispel people's questions. Even pulp molded products have a problem of continuously improving the process, increasing the technological content, reducing the production cost, and increasing the production scale.
In order to allow consumers to never recognize knowledge, accept these new products as soon as possible, in addition to relying on policy support and public opinion to be guided, it is more important that companies should be self-improvement and self-discipline, the industry should strengthen management supervision. At present, some producers do not know much about the technology of this product, and they try to imitate the production equipment to make a mess; some manufacturers compete with foamed plastic products to reduce the price, cut corners, and reduce oil and water additives. , shoddy; what is worse, selling tableware, which is originally a waste product or a defective product, to market wholesalers at a low price not only disrupts the market, deceives consumers, but also damages the image of itself and the industry. There are misunderstandings in the society, which hinders the healthy and orderly development of the environmental protection industry, the green tableware. Faced with the current development trend, people in the industry believe that with the full implementation of law enforcement procedures at all levels of government, people’s green consumption concepts, the continuous improvement of green tableware’s process technology and the enhancement of their overall strength, people will enter green life. The day is coming.
