In 2020, the new start is not too good, the Australian fire, the new crown epidemic, the African locust plague, the arrival of various environmental problems as if to remind us that environmental protection can no longer be a slogan.
On January 19, 2020, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Ecology and Environment issued the "Opinions on Further Strengthening the Control of Plastic Pollution" (hereinafter referred to as the "Opinions"), and the "plastic restriction order" was upgraded again, calling on all walks of life to find a better "green plan" for white pollution ". The upgraded version of the "plastic ban order" clearly stipulates that by the end of 2020, China will take the lead in banning and restricting the production, sales and use of some plastic products (including disposable foamed plastic tableware) in some regions and some fields. By the end of 2022, the consumption of disposable plastic products has been significantly reduced, and green degradable alternative products have been promoted.
Among them, the "opinion" on the use of disposable plastic tableware restrictions:
By the end of 2020, China's nationwide catering industry will prohibit the use of non-degradable disposable plastic straws; the use of non-degradable disposable plastic tableware is prohibited for catering services in built-up areas and scenic spots in cities above the prefecture level.
By the end of 2022, the use of non-degradable disposable plastic tableware will be prohibited for catering services in built-up areas and scenic spots in the county.
By 2025, the consumption intensity of non-degradable disposable plastic tableware in catering takeout areas in cities above the prefecture level will be reduced by 30%.
Hotel and hotel industry
The use of disposable plastic products in hotels and hotels will also continue to shrink. The Opinions clarify that by the end of 2022, star-rated hotels, hotels and other places across the country will no longer actively provide disposable plastic products, and related services can be provided by setting up self-service purchase machines and providing refilling detergents; by the end of 2025, The scope of implementation will be expanded to all hotels, hotels, and homestays.
At the same time, with the continuous development of China's economy and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, people's consumption concept and consumption level have also been greatly changed and improved. Under this opportunity, the degradable environmental protection tableware industry is bound to become a new development trend.
Degradable tableware refers to the natural environment of microorganisms (bacteria, mold, algae) and enzymes, biochemical reactions occur, causing the appearance of mildew to internal quality changes, and ultimately the formation of carbon dioxide and water tableware.
There are two kinds of materials used in degradable tableware: one is made of natural materials, such as paper products, straw, starch, etc., which can be degraded, also known as environmental protection products; the other is made of plastic as the main component, adding starch, photosensitizer and other substances.
The development potential of environmentally friendly pulp tableware is huge and the prospect is very promising.
In 2016, the global flexible packaging market size of $217 billion, is expected to reach $261 billion by 2020, showing a steady growth trend. Environmentally friendly pulp tableware is a green environmental protection product. The materials used are harmless to the human body, non-toxic, tasteless, and easy to degrade. The manufacturing, use and destruction processes are pollution-free. The product quality fully meets the national food hygiene requirements. The product is easy to recycle after use., Easy to dispose, easy to consume and other characteristics, so it has received widespread attention from all over the world. Environmental protection pulp tableware is another reform of food packaging industry, its development potential is huge, the development prospect is very broad.
With the increasing voice of the global maintenance of the natural environment and the common maintenance of the earth's homeland, there are more and more requirements and rules for plastic reduction and prohibition. For degradable and green products, they are increasingly becoming the products used by hotel catering regular.
