Among them, the controversial disposable foamed plastic tableware is now banned again, and this time it is really goodbye to say.

 

It is understood that disposable foamed plastic tableware was first used on China's railways in 1986. As discarded lunch boxes seriously damaged the ecology and landscape along the railway, the former Ministry of Railways completely banned the use of foamed tableware in railway stations and cars since May 1995. By 1999, the former State Economic and Trade Commission issued the Catalogue of Eliminating Backward Production Capacity, Technology and Products (Order No. 6 of the State Economic and Trade Commission), in which disposable foamed plastic tableware was eliminated by the end of 2000.

 

However, by 2013, the National Development and Reform Commission adjusted the "Industrial Structure Adjustment Guidance Catalog (2011)" to delete disposable foamed plastic tableware from the list of eliminated products. Disposable foamed plastic tableware returned to the market after being banned for 14 years since 1999.
