It's settled!

After nine months of polling,

hainan province released the first batch of banned plastic list,

From Oriental Hawaii to expel plastic from Treasure Island,

It was a decisive step.

From the first list,

although it is still nine months before the official entry into force,

But the scope of the ban is so large,

the impact on people's lives,

It's impressive.

List of Prohibited Production, Sale and Use of Disposable Non-degradable Plastic Products in Hainan Province (First Batch)

Including disposable films, bags and tableware containing non-biodegradable polymer materials such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), such as shopping bags, paper-plastic composite packaging bags, garbage bags, and disposable plastic lunch boxes, bowls, beverage cups and straws.

Surprisingly,

The new regulations are introduced,

It sparked a big response on the Internet,

It was supported by netizens.

All this,

Originated from the Hainan people's awareness of environmental protection.

The negative energy of plastic is being amplified infinitely

They murder marine animals,

They erode the soil,

They pollute drinking water sources,

They will eventually endanger all mankind.

Once the new regulations are implemented, it means that from December 1 this year, Hainan will not see the existence of shopping bags, paper-plastic composite packaging bags, garbage bags, and disposable plastic lunch boxes, bowls, beverage cups and straws, especially lunch boxes, beverage cups and straws. If a good alternative is not found, it will bring great inconvenience to people's lives.

However, these issues have been resolved. In recent years, with the continuous progress of science and technology, biodegradable plastics, pulp molded products and other perfect alternatives have penetrated into every corner of our lives. Especially for paper molded products, the source of raw materials covers almost all plant fibers, which is the ultimate solution for plastics. In recent years, paper molded products have made breakthroughs in terms of appearance, cost, production capacity and printing process.

It is not difficult to see that not only plastic lunch boxes can be replaced by paper products, but also some large plastic products can find perfect alternatives.

Paper molded products to sugarcane, bamboo, reed and waste paper and other plant fibers as raw materials, through pulping, molding, after the process of each link, made with a variety of waterproof, oil-proof, food contact, biodegradable plastic substitutes.

According to the current development trend of replacing plastic with paper, the broad prospects of paper mold packaging can be called "heaven disregard pole". The professor of Liberty Vittert at Washington University in St. Louis also calculated an account. The plastic produced in 2018 can fill 72 trillion large shopping bags. Each large shopping bag can hold 31 plastic bottles, and the manufacturing cost of each plastic bottle is 3.25 cents, so a shopping bag full of empty plastic bottles is worth 31 x 3.25=100.75 cents, which is about $1. In other words, 72 trillion bags of plastic waste produced in 2018 cost $72 trillion to produce.

It can be predicted that in the green process of replacing plastic with paper, the business opportunities brought to many industries in China can be described as wonderful!
