The reason why disposable foaming lunch boxes are widely criticized is mainly due to two major problems: the quality and safety of the product itself and the environmental pollution it brings.
The relevant information obtained by the reporter on October 26th was "bad news" in both of the above aspects. The first is that “a large number of disposable foam plastic lunch box manufacturers are using the polystyrene recyclables and fluorescent brighteners that are prohibited by the state to reduce production costs and increase market competitiveness.†Second, Shanghai began to implement 10 years ago. The disposable foam plastic tableware recycling system has been difficult and difficult to operate. Someone asked this question: "Is there a lot of problems with foam plastic lunch boxes? What is the Shanghai Interim Measures?"
People who are concerned about the issue of disposable foaming lunch boxes all know Shanghai’s “Order 84†and “Three Cents†projects:
On June 14, 2000, the Shanghai Municipal People’s Government issued the Decree No. 84 of 2000—“Interim Measures for the Management of Disposable Plastic Lunch Boxes in Shanghai†(hereinafter referred to as the “Measuresâ€), which clearly specifies the management of disposable lunch boxes. “Temporal control, recycling, gradual ban, encourage substitution†is an interim policy. The "Measures" also explicitly adopted the "three penny" project, which means that each meal box will receive 3 cents from the producer to subsidize recycling, transportation, and treatment and disposal, and to control the environmental pollution of disposable plastic lunch boxes.
Due to the serious environmental pollution of disposable foam plastic tableware, it was listed by the former State Economic and Trade Commission as an outdated product list in January 1999 and a “eliminative order†was issued. Shanghai’s “unique order†revealed by this move was met with some criticisms. At the same time, it also made some provinces and cities secretly claim to be embarrassed.
If there is still merit in the above "Measures", it is proposed that the disposable plastic lunch boxes be recycled. However, the reporter was told that the recycling system for disposable plastic lunch boxes in the city has long been difficult and difficult to maintain.
According to Wang Peng of the International Food Packaging Association, in the initial stage of implementation of the "Measures", certain measures have been achieved through the use of labels and other means of recovery. However, the outlook was not long. After entering 2005, the work deteriorated. Especially after entering the year of 2009, the recycling of disposable foam plastic tableware in the city was already in a state of near collapse. The recovery rate was only about 20%.
According to the analysis, problems such as the recovery of funds, sewage treatment, and the supervision and assessment involved in recycling have not been effectively resolved, which is the main reason for this situation.
Wang Peng said that the "approach" requires production companies to fund the recycling process this method seems to be feasible, but due to the promulgation of the "appropriate" implementation, a large number of disposable foam plastic lunch boxes enterprises from other provinces and cities, these companies through regulatory loopholes In the absence of payment of recycling fees, Daxie invaded the Shanghai lunch box market, eventually leading to such an embarrassing situation: Shanghai's foaming lunch box companies paid for the recycling fees, but the prices of the products were high and could not be sold; other provinces and cities' foaming lunch boxes Enterprises do not pay the recovery fees, the products are cheap, and they have a good market.
In addition, discarded disposable foam plastic lunch boxes are not only bulky and have high storage and transportation costs. Due to the cooking and eating habits in China, the oil content in the lunch boxes is not easy to clean, and the sewage treatment after washing is difficult and can easily cause secondary problems. Pollution. The US Environmental Protection Agency once pointed out: "This material (referring to disposable foam plastics) can have a serious impact on human health, wildlife, aquatic environment and economic development."
With the rapid development of Shanghai and the convening of the World Expo, the construction of municipal appearance is very strict. It is very difficult to build large-scale recycling sites, transportation systems, and treatment plants that can handle large amounts of sewage. According to insiders, at present, the disposable foam plastic lunch boxes recovered in Shanghai are shipped to another city for processing, which not only consumes a large amount of freight, but also easily causes environmental pollution in the city, which is not worth the candle.
In the eyes of relevant experts, the issue of how to properly collect and use the recycling costs of disposable foam plastic lunch boxes, how to assess and implement the recycling rate, etc., has not been seriously considered and has not been effectively addressed.
Wang Peng bluntly stated: If the "Measures" enacted by the Shanghai Municipal Government is a "trial field" of circular economy, it has already been written for the "test field" that the ten years have passed.
