The standard is not unified leads to "white" å°´å°¬

Foam plastic fast food boxes are widely used in the food and beverage catering industry because they can eliminate repeated cross-use and cause disease transmission, are cheap, warm, leakproof and clean. However, some people are accustomed to discarding fast food boxes after use, resulting in "white pollution." Sichuan Province as early as in 2001 put forward a comprehensive ban on "white pollution" call, however, because of the high cost of alternatives to foaming utensils, the environmental protection tableware production standards have led to the unification of environmental protection tableware to the foam tableware to surrender, "white pollution" Still holding the fast food tableware market. How far is the full "ban" from us? The reporter conducted a survey interview.
Phenomenon:
î—¥ î—¥ foamed tableware rampant on the city î—¥ î—¥ î—¥ î—¥ August 11, the reporter conducted an investigation of some restaurants and fast food in Chengdu, found that as early as two years ago, the banned use and sale of plain foam tableware still rampant City, and widely used by businesses. In a small restaurant specializing in fast-food delivery in the Shuijuhe River, Chengdu, the reporter saw consumers who had come to buy the meal holding foamed cutlery. Steaming meals were put into their mouths through such a foaming lunch box.
î—¥ î—¥ The reporter used an ordinary consumer to ask the boss to give him a takeaway. The boss was still prepared to wear a foaming lunch box to reporters. The reporter asked the boss to use a disposable degradable lunch box. The boss reluctantly told reporters that he had not used a one-off degradable lunch box here. The next to the boss even asked reporters, what is the degradation of the lunch box? I sold such a long lunch, I have not heard of this name of the weird lunch box? When the reporter proposed foaming tableware has been banned from use, the boss justified To say, as long as the market sells, you can use it. Moreover, he has never been used for so long. He said that such a foaming lunch box was sold open in the Chengdu Jiuyanqiao market. According to the detailed address provided by the boss, on the afternoon of August 11, the reporter went to a wholesale market in Chengdu's Jiuyanqiao for unannounced visits.
î—¥ î—¥ In the wholesale market of Jiumin Bridge, Minmin East Road, the reporter turned a big lap and found no phenomenon that there was a foaming lunch box. Was it wrong with what the boss said? The reporter decided to go to a nearby place. Business inquiries. After a series of twists and turns, the reporter finally found an insider. According to insiders, there were several businesses that specialize in selling foamed tableware in the food market of Zhimindong Road.
According to the address provided by the insider, it is easy for reporters to find a business that specializes in selling foamed tableware. The whole process is not as complicated as the reporter imagined. That is, if you give money, he can supply you with it. The business told reporters that there are foaming tableware almost every family has. After negotiating with the boss, the reporter and the boss agreed to buy 10 yuan, about 100 each time. According to the boss, there are many buyers who purchase foamed tableware every day. Many times, the supply of goods is in short supply. However, the market sales of degradable environmentally-friendly tableware have not been so good. Less than 10 meters away from this shop, there is hardly anyone interested in selling a monopoly that sells degradable green tableware. The store's owner told reporters that because of the price of biodegradable green tableware is more than double the price of foamed tableware, plus people are still accustomed to using foaming tableware, the environmental protection tableware market is almost embarrassing.
Investigate:
î—¥ î—¥ environmental protection tableware encountered bottleneck î—¥ î—¥ environmental protection tableware why the market so rampant? Reporter found through investigation that the quality of environmental protection tableware itself is uneven, people's lack of awareness and lack of law enforcement is the main reason for environmental protection tableware was cold.
When reporters interviewed consumers, they found that in their consciousness, they did not pay too much attention to whether the tableware used by the takeout business was an environmentally friendly and degradable lunch box. Many consumers even believe that everyday life is really inseparable from convenience bags such as plastic bags, although they also know that plastic bags and foamed food boxes have some detrimental effects. However, they believe that foaming lunch boxes and plastic bags will continue to exist until other convenient bag substitutes are available.
When interviewed by reporters, some consumers clearly told reporters that the current market's degradable lunch boxes have caused many problems because of poor quality. Mr. Huang, who works in a certain unit, has encountered the embarrassment caused by environmental protection lunch boxes. Mr. Huang said that one time, one of his colleagues asked him to help him buy a box of lunches, which was the use of environmentally friendly lunch boxes. However, on the way back to the unit, because the temperature of the food was too high, the lunch box cracked and the meals fell. One.
In the reporter's survey interview, many businesses believe that the main reason they can rest assured that sales is that there are very few law enforcement agencies to intervene at ordinary times.
On August 12, when a reporter interviewed the Sichuan Provincial Environmental Protection Bureau on the current problems in the market, a person in charge of the Environmental Protection Bureau stated that they had no way to control the problems existing in the market, because the production belongs to the quality and technical supervision department and the market Sales belong to the business administration department. In fact, when the reporter conducted a market survey, it was found that the two departments rarely interrogated foamed tableware.
Confused:
高 挤 high cost squeezed environmental protection tableware?
The reporter learned that there are many reasons for the repeated prohibition of foaming tableware, but the poor quality of alternatives is one of the main reasons.
The current environmentally-friendly tableware used in the domestic market is dominated by non-foam plastics and pulp moldings, which account for about 60%. Some cities such as Dalian and Wuhan have completely banned foam plastic tableware, while in some cities and regions such as Guangdong Province, especially in more than 80% of restaurants in Shenzhen, foam plastic tableware is still used. Because the price of non-foaming tableware that truly meets the standards is about twice as high as that of foamed plastic tableware, it has brought certain difficulties to the promotion and application of environmentally-friendly tableware. A large number of foamed tableware products are filled with a large amount of filler materials and even recycled waste plastic (about 2,000 yuan per ton, and good raw materials are about 7,000 yuan per ton), so the product price (about 400ML fast food boxes as an example, the general factory price Below 0.1 yuan) is much lower than the price of the product that meets the requirements (generally above 0.15 yuan). It is because of the large price gap between foamed tableware and environmentally-friendly tableware that it has led to the widespread use of foamed tableware in the market. In the long run, it will have a serious impact on the real environmental protection tableware manufacturing companies and the industry.

  The standard is out of order and needs to be changed How can the foamed tableware that has been sentenced to death be banned? Li Jinyi, senior engineer at the provincial environmental protection inspection station believes that the inconsistency of environmental protection policies and the inconsistency of standards are the main ones. the reason.
According to Li Jinyi, the policy of prohibiting foaming tableware throughout the country is not entirely consistent, and it is also an important reason for the prohibition of foaming tableware. For example, the Beijing Municipal People's Government issued the 25th order in March 1999 that restricts the use of plastic bags and disposable plastic tableware for sale, and requires that the recycling be used only at railway stations, long-distance bus stations, airports, the Capital Civilized Scenic Spot (point) and hotels. The restaurant prohibits the sale and use of disposable foam plastic tableware, penalizing offenders up to 5,000 yuan. In addition, the People's Government of the People's Republic of China No. 84, promulgated in June 2000, puts forward the principle of “source control, recycling, gradual ban, and encourage substitution” for the management of disposable plastic lunch boxes. Beijing once used more than 60% of recycled foaming utensils to effectively solve pollution, and it has had a strong influence at home and abroad (but due to numerous reasons, it was completely stopped at the end of 2002). Shanghai and other places are still recycling foam plastic tableware. In Shanghai, foaming cutlery can continue to be produced as long as payment for recycling is required, which also to some extent conflicts with the national policy of a total ban on foamed cutlery.
Li Jinyi analyzed that the prohibition of foaming utensils is not related to the production standard of environmental protection tableware. At present, there are two sets of standards concerning environmental protection tableware. One set is the "General technical conditions for disposable degradable tableware GB18006.1-1999" issued by the National Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision on November 19, 1999, and the other is national environmental protection. The "Technical Requirements for the Certification of Environmental Label Products" issued by the Directorate General on June 4, 2001 (HBC1-2001). These two standards have some differences in product categories and indicators. The former are mainly for the formulation of standards for degradable tableware, while the non-foaming, non-degradable but easy-to-recycle type utensils such as polypropylene are not specified; the latter is clear This type of product can be used (because it is used all over the world), so long as the recovery rate reaches 75%, the environmental certification mark can be obtained. Due to the different requirements of the standards, the testing department, production and research units, operators and users have caused some confusion, and it has also brought great difficulties to law enforcement agencies.
Countermeasures:
折 折 break the source is the key   in the face of increasingly severe "white pollution", environmental protection tableware, whether there are any effective solutions and means? The reporter interviewed the Sichuan Normal University Department of Life Sciences Professor Li .
谈到 谈到 When it comes to the current market situation of environmental protection tableware and the fact that white pollution is increasing unabated, Professor Li expressed his concern. He believes there are generally two different perceptions of remediation of "white pollution." One is to fully understand the role of people’s behavior in causing “white pollution” and to educate people to care for the environment, to cherish resources, and to correct the bad habits of abandoning waste. At the same time, they learn from foreign mature experiences and recycle, recycle, and reuse waste foam plastics. Use; the other is through government administrative orders, prohibit the production of foam plastic lunch boxes and disposable plastic bags, promotion of paper products and biodegradable alternative products.
According to Professor Li, modern society cannot be separated from disposable items, including convenience lunch boxes and plastic bags. The key lies in what materials should be used to make such devices. For those who are “forgiven”, it is nothing more than to replace them with paper or “degradable plastics” after prohibiting the use of foam. However, this idea proved to be difficult to implement in practice because disposable food packaging containers made from these materials cannot directly solve environmental pollution problems, and there are considerable technical difficulties. The various "degradable plastics" currently in use in the world, whether photodegradable, biodegradable or "double-degraded," are not really able to convert plastics into harmless substances that can be incorporated into the soil, but are only split into smaller volumes. Plastic blocks only. In fact, "white pollution" is not the sorrow of plastics, but people's own sadness. The source of "white pollution" is actually not the material or the product itself, but the behavior of people. The essence of environmental protection is not only passively preventing environmental pollution, but also actively protecting nature and protecting resources. The current forest area in China accounts for only about 13% of the country's total land area. The forest reserve rate in many places is extremely low, and both indicators are far from the average level of the countries in the world. If paper disposable lunch boxes are advocated, it will inevitably consume a lot of forest resources. Moreover, no matter what raw materials are used for papermaking, it will require the consumption of large amounts of clean water, caustic soda and other chemical raw materials, and produce a large amount of waste liquid. The use of bagasse, reeds, rice-wheat cotton stalks or thinned secondary timber as alternatives to the manufacture of disposable containers should be a testable approach. However, whether the technologies such as waterproof, oil-and heat-resisting and heat-resisting technologies in this method are really going to pass, and whether the cost price can be lowered still needs to be further tested. However, evasive “white substitution” may shift attention to the “white pollution” and even bring about new “pollution pollution”. Strengthening recycling of waste plastics will not only greatly reduce the source of “white pollution”, but also fully exploit the regenerative capacity of existing resources. Many environmental protection experts and resource experts believe that from the current level of China’s national conditions and scientific development, in terms of treating “white pollution”, which is the main source of foam plastic products, the “recycling and utilization” advocated by Beijing and Shanghai is still adopted. The strategy of dominating and renouncing sources to keep up with and launching alternatives under certain circumstances is more reasonable. The most proactive approach is to establish a system that can adapt to the market economy as soon as possible so as to facilitate the recycling, recycling and utilization of waste foam, and allow it to enter the circular economy chain as soon as possible. In addition, we must start with the awareness of public morality, legal education and enlightenment on environmental protection, and adopt various practical measures: on the one hand, to stop the unhealthy habits of some people indiscriminately abandoning waste; on the other hand, we must mobilize the masses to consciously classify waste foam plastics. Collect, trade, and re-use and re-use by professional factories; it should be a more realistic approach to governance of “white pollution” in line with China’s national conditions.
Prof. Li suggested that a disposable lunch box collection basket should be set up next to the garbage bin or cell door in each community, and a change box can be put on the edge. Residents who are willing to collect the price have to pay the change by hand after throwing the lunch box. Then, at regular intervals, the recycling sites send people to exchange collection baskets in each cell. In this way, the small environment in residents' homes will not be dirty, and residents will not need to deliver lunch boxes. Even better, they can arrange a group of laid-off workers. Of course, this requires more investment from the government. At the same time
