In order to protect the physical and mental health of the people and reduce environmental pollution, the State Economic and Trade Commission issued the No. 6 decree as early as 1999, which clearly stipulated that the use of disposable foam plastic tableware shall be completely prohibited. Because, foamed plastic tableware will break down toxins harmful to human health at a high temperature of 65°C; and it will not be easily degraded and cause environmental pollution. However, according to survey results in Hangzhou and Qinhuangdao cities, some operators still use disposable foam plastic lunch boxes. No matter whether it is fast food stalls, or high-end hotels and guesthouses, they are still not only used, but even worse, there are cases where the disposable foam plastic lunch boxes will be washed and reused. In the large and small restaurants, it is rare for the state to use environmentally friendly tableware. According to investigations, in some places, environmental protection tableware production enterprises, although their production capacity and product quality are sufficient for local catering companies to use, most products lie in the warehouse and sleep well, and corporate profits are sluggish.
Why is it so unfavorable that the implementation of this rule has been so effective for so long? The reason: First, the price issue. According to market research, a foamed plastic lunch box sells for less than a dime, while an eco-friendly lunch box has a production cost of a quarter of a cent. Even if it is guaranteed to be sold, it cannot compete with the foamed plastic lunch box because of the price difference. Nearly doubled. For the benefit of the unit, the disposable foam plastic tableware was selected. Second, no one has grasped the implementation, and the surface is a price issue. Actually, the relevant departments regard the regulations as a piece of paper and they have not taken measures to implement it. Third, people did not pay attention to the damage to the health of disposable foam plastic tableware, and did not form a situation where “mouse crossing the street and everyone shoutingâ€. Fourth, there was no interception at the source, so disposable foam plastic tableware appeared unobstructed on the market, and the country’s environmental protection tableware was a difficult phenomenon.
In order to put an end to disposable foam plastic tableware, we strongly advocate the use of environmentally friendly tableware and make it a conscious action to use tableware units. Not long ago, several suggestions from a member of the CPPCC committee of Qinhuangdao City in Hebei Province were very good. If they can be achieved, they will surely receive better results. The author has extracted excerpts below for reference by relevant departments.
- The government issued a special article on the implementation of the No. 6 decree, which stipulated that the company shall completely prohibit disposable foam plastic tableware within a certain period of time, use biodegradable lunch boxes, and instruct the relevant departments to formulate detailed implementation rules, which shall be issued and executed.
——All relevant departments will work together to make joint efforts to ensure that the 6th order is truly implemented. First of all, we must turn off the production of disposable foam plastic tableware manufacturers, so that its conversion, in order to block its source; Second, to investigate and deal with the use of disposable foam plastic tableware to block its circulation channels.
—— Intensify publicity efforts on the No. 6 decree, popularize the hazards of production and use of disposable foam plastic tableware, and educate the operators of the catering industry to adhere to professional ethics and not to place consumers’ health and environmental pollution on their own. In spite of this, we helped the majority of consumers consciously resist the use of foamed plastic tableware and reported catering companies using foamed plastic tableware.
