Looking around, plastic bags are everywhere. Food, clothing, food, entertainment, entertainment, almost no place to get a plastic bag. Three days later, a new policy restricting plastic shopping bags will be implemented. Around the "plastic limit order," recent discussions have continued, but in the buzz of a "forbidden", "limited", "ultra-thin" and "charging", the call for "recycling" has been less heard.

At the end of 2007, the General Office of the State Council issued the Notice on Restricting the Production and Sales of Plastic Shopping Bags. "Notice" is commonly known as the "Limited Plastic Order" and consists of two main points. The first is that starting from June 1, 2008, a system of paid use of plastic shopping bags will be implemented at all retail outlets throughout the country. Plastic shopping bags may not be provided free of charge.
"Charging" is the first key word of "Limiting Plastic Order". How to price plastic shopping bags has become the focus of many readers. Many people are concerned about the issue of fees for a few days, but they have overlooked the fact that "free delivery" of plastic bags is really free?
Recently, the reporter visited a number of farms and found that almost every stall was, as always, hung with many thin plastic bags. "If you are a business owner, no one is stupid. How can you send things for no reason?" Zhang Weidong, who sells vegetables at a vegetable farm in Zhabei District, sputtered out. He revealed that shopping bags have never been free of charge and that they have entered the cost ahead of time and counted as consumers. “My plastic bag, the purchase price of 4 cents each. When the business is good, 500 a day, cost 20 yuan. I am a small business, if you send 20 yuan a day, how to eat?â€
Zhang Weidong said that his own plastic bags are of good quality. "The thinnest bag in the market is less than 1 cent for each purchase price. Of course, it is also the customer's money."
The fruit stall next to the farm is similar. "Our plastic bags are costly. A large watermelon is about 5 or 6 kilograms in weight and the bag must be strong." Laoyang Lao introduced that a plastic bag costs $1 and consumes up to 1,000 a day. "100 yuan, it can not be sent, there is no free plastic bag."
"The charge for plastic shopping bags is to convert 'hidden charges' into 'explicit charges'," said Chen Changjie, secretary-general of the Shanghai Green Packaging Committee of the Packaging Technology Association.
Some citizens raised new questions: From the next month, plastic bag fees will go from the dark to the bright spot. Then, will the price of the plastic bags that hit into the cost of goods be removed? Will commodity prices at retail establishments be reduced slightly?
Keywords "limited thickness" buy onions also use thick plastic bags?
"Since June 1, 2008, it has been prohibited to produce, sell, and use plastic shopping bags with a thickness of less than 0.025 mm nationwide." This is the second point of the "plastic limit order."
"Limiting thickness" became the second key word. Why should we strictly limit the thickness? One explanation is that thin plastic bags can cause cancer. Because they come from unqualified family workshops, the raw materials may be industrial waste or plastic waste discarded by medical institutions, and have not been disinfected.
Chen Changjie believes that this argument is not comprehensive. The market for thin plastic bags is mixed and there are indeed some products that are harmful to health, but it cannot be concluded that “all of them are carcinogenicâ€.
"Although many thin plastic bags come from the road, it is still necessary to limit the thickness." Chen Changjie analyzed that the main function of "limited thickness" is "to facilitate reuse." Thin plastic bags are easily damaged and are discarded, becoming the main source of “white pollutionâ€.
The minimum thickness is set at 0.025 mm, based on what? An expert in the packaging industry, who declined to be named, believes that the standards are debatable. “According to this standard, most plastic shopping bags on the market today are not up to the standard.†He said that thicker-thick plastic bags in supermarkets are generally 0.02 mm thick, and thin plastic bags commonly used in food farms are less than 0.01 mm thick.
The expert raised two questions:
â– Disable plastic bags less than 0.025 mm in thickness, ignoring the role of thin plastic bags. "After all, there is no need to use a thick plastic bag to buy green onions, two pieces of tofu, and a few breads," he said. "A handful of green onion is just two horns. A plastic bag is about three horns. Would you be?"
â– Blindly accentuating thickness may also hinder the scientific and technological progress of plastic bags, which is not conducive to resource conservation. "The mechanical strength of plastic bags is not proportional to the thickness. In layman's terms, plastic bags are not thicker and tighter." He explained that in the past, the highest load-bearing 25kg plastic bag was 0.2mm thick; after technical innovation, the same weight The thickness is reduced by half.
Keywords ã€Recycling】 “Limiting Plastic Order†is not a “plastic banâ€
Chen Changjie had some worries about the implementation of the “Limited Plastic Orderâ€: “I hope that everyone will not just stare at the price and thickness of the plastic bag, otherwise the new policy will be easily misaligned when it is implemented.†He believes that only relying on a “plastic limit order†The role may be limited, but also need to introduce appropriate supporting measures. "The most important thing is to strengthen the recycling of plastic shopping bags; in addition, the use of biodegradable plastic bags is universal."
The third keyword is "recycling."
Chen Changjie pointed out that "recycling" is a top priority. Although the plastic shopping bag is the main source of "white pollution", it is not guilty in itself, but the crux of the problem is poor recycling. "Because of the thinness, the recycling is unprofitable, causing thin plastic bags to be thrown everywhere." Chen Changjie analyzed that to ensure the thickness of plastic bags is to lay the foundation for recycling, but only the basis.
He suggested that relevant departments can take measures that combine "use charges" with "recovery incentives." For supermarkets, food courts, convenience stores and other retail establishments, a certain amount of environmental management fees will be charged according to the amount of use; if the recovery is done well, the amount of the treatment fees will be refunded by the amount. "Let the seller assume more responsibility for recycling and reduce the burden on consumers." For consumers, try to trade in new products, promote recycling, and benefit the people.
Chen Changjie added that as long as recycling is in place, rational use of technology is not a problem. "Recycled plastic shopping bags can be reused through the use of technical means such as cleaning, melting, granulation, etc., to produce raw materials for other plastic products."
With regard to the development of biodegradable plastic bags, Chen Changjie believes that the technology is relatively mature and can be put into production on a large scale. However, the current market is confusing and difficult to distinguish between true and false, which restricts its development.
Due to the long detection period and high cost of biodegradable plastic bags, there is no corresponding market access or filing and filing system, and many “licious ghosts†have taken the opportunity to enter the market. "If you adopt a fixed-point production model or increase the filing and reporting system, it will help regulate and combat counterfeit products."
Chen Changjie repeatedly stressed that "limited plastic" is not "forbidden." Plastic bags have gone deep into everyone's life. They are inexpensive, easy to process, light in texture, stable in quality, and reusable. These advantages determine that it is currently irreplaceable. "If you completely disable the plastic bags, then all retail outlets may have to be closed."
[Focus Concern] What is an Eco Bag?
After the “plastic limit order†was launched, a large number of members of the plastic bag family would withdraw, and “replacement of bags†was put on the agenda. Among them, the "green bag" has the highest appearance rate. What is a green bag? There are many opinions.
Some people think that it is a bag and a paper bag. Experts believe that bags and paper bags have their own characteristics and can take part in the role of plastic bags, but it is impossible to completely replace plastic bags. In terms of performance, it is inconvenient to store hot and oily items, paper bags and bags; on the cost, they are higher than plastic bags; the American Chemical Society once calculated that the production of 1 pound of plastic consumes 91% less energy than the production of 1 pound of paper. 70% less gas; excessive use of paper bags can also lead to excessive forest felling, destroying ecological balance and harming the environment.
Others say it is a non-woven bag. Non-woven fabrics are fabrics that do not require spinning weaving. Raw materials include polypropylene, polyester, viscose, and the like. The vast majority are polymer materials that are similar in nature to plastic bags and are difficult to degrade. In addition, non-woven fabrics consume a lot of energy in the production process, and wastewater may be generated during the printing and dyeing process, contaminating the water source.
From this point of view, the most cost-effective green bag is a biodegradable plastic shopping bag.
What is "white pollution"?
Plastic is a polymer material, and the main raw material of plastic bags is polyethylene.
Disposable plastic products such as plastic bags, plastic films, and plastic lunch boxes cause pollution due to lack of effective recycling. The molecular structure of plastics is stable and can be kept underground for 200 years without decomposition. No organism can grow on plastic bags. If a large amount is thrown away in the soil, it will affect the quality of the land and affect the absorption of nutrients by crops. If it is abandoned in water, it will threaten the living environment of aquatic animals. This kind of disposable plastic products is mostly white, and the resulting pollution is called "white pollution."
