2021-01-27
National Food Safety Regulatory Information Release
recently issued the "Opinions on Further Strengthening the Treatment of Plastic Pollution", stipulating that by the end of 2020, non-degradable disposable plastic straws will be prohibited in the catering industry nationwide. Less than half a year before the deadline for the ban, Guangzhou star-rated hotels began to use "paper straws", Starbucks and McDonald's "transformed" straws or lids, and Nestlé even opened a "smart plastic recycling truck"...
Recently, the reporter saw in the Ebony restaurant of the Mandarin Oriental that all drinks use non-plastic straws. On the take-out platform, many catering stores have added options such as "do not use tableware (plastic straws)" to encourage consumers to reduce the use of plastic products.
Are consumers still accustomed to "paper straws"? During the reporter's interview, most consumers support the ban on plastic straws, but a few consumers also expressed the need for a process of adaptation.
During the visit, the reporter also found that some businesses provide plastic straws and paper straws at the same time to deal with "picky" customers. A merchant who did not want to be named told the reporter: “While we are advocating environmental protection, it takes a process to cultivate good habits. Therefore, there is a warm reminder on the packaging of plastic straws: reducing the use of straws is more environmentally friendly."
As early as 2018, Starbucks announced that it would stop using plastic straws globally this year. As of January this year, more than 4,000 Starbucks stores in China have fully banned plastic straws. Starting June 30, McDonald's China announced that nearly a thousand restaurants in Beijing, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Shenzhen, etc. will fine-tune the design of the cup lid and stop using plastic straws. On the lid of the new drink cup, McDonald’s designed a drinking spout. Consumers can drink directly by opening a small lid on it.
Recently, a smart recycling vehicle with a cute appearance and sweet sound has appeared in the parks of some cities. It comes from an innovative project of Nestlé, and will follow the established route in the park for a period of time to continuously promote the environmental protection concept of plastic recycling. Visitors can also beckon to stop it at any time, learn environmental protection tips on the body screen, put empty plastic bottles in the recycling window on the body, and have the opportunity to win mysterious prizes.
In addition, the reporter learned from the express logistics industry that companies such as Shentong and Post are vigorously promoting recyclable express packaging bags. Guangzhou Post has deployed green recycling boxes for express packaging in 77 outlets. It encourages customers to put the original boxes in the recycling boxes after receiving the parcels, which is conducive to secondary use.
"As of the end of 2019, the utilization rate of STO Express's entire network of chip environmental protection bags has reached 98%, with a total investment of nearly 6 million, and more than 160 million cycles of recycling, which is equivalent to reducing the discharge of plastic waste by approximately 16,000 tons." Said that at the same time, a total of 8,000 packaging waste recycling devices were deployed to 5,000 outlets across the network, and the outlets fully covered the recycling bins, and random inspections were used to strengthen the use of recycling bins at the outlets.
At the beginning of this year, we will strive to achieve 90% of the packaging ratio of "slim tape" by the end of this year. The e-commerce express mail no longer has a secondary packaging rate of 70%, the utilization rate of recycle transfer bags reaches 90%, and an additional 20,000 sets of standard packaging waste recycling The sales outlet of the device.
