The strictest plastic limit in history is coming! How can we distinguish environmental protection products?

In fact, as early as the beginning of 2020, China issued opinions on further strengthening the control of plastic pollution, and put forward strict restrictions on the take-away service in catering industry and the use of plastic products in supermarkets. Various provinces and cities have also introduced some implementation plans. The beginning of 202 1 is the first important node of plastic pollution control in China. More than 50 cities will ban the use of plastic products such as plastic bags and plastic straws in takeout and supermarkets.

Attention, please, the most severe plastic is coming. Which products can't be used

Non-degradable disposable plastic straws, non-degradable plastic bags commonly used in public places such as supermarkets, pharmacies and bookstores, ultra-thin plastic shopping bags with a thickness of less than 0.025mm, disposable tableware, foamed plastic lunch boxes, non-degradable plastic knives and forks, etc.

How can we distinguish the environmental protection products that can be used?

The plastic limit order has come, and many products can no longer be used, so they can only be replaced by environmentally friendly products. For non-degradable plastic straws, we can use paper straws, straws, glass straws, stainless steel straws and biodegradable plastic straws instead; For non-degradable plastic bags used for shopping in supermarkets and other places, we can use some paper bags, non-woven bags and biodegradable plastic bags instead. In addition, it should be noted that the materials that plastic lunch boxes can replace include biodegradable plastics, mainly PLA, as well as pulp molding and aluminum foil.

Please note again that some packages are not necessarily degradable products even if they are marked with the words environmental protection or degradable plastics. Be sure to read the labels, ingredients and test reports carefully. If the composition contains non-degradable plastics such as PE, PP and PS, it cannot be used. Only the labeling component is made of one or more materials of degradable PLA, PBS, PBAT and starch.

What should we do in life to protect the environment?

With the rapid development of human society, human beings have created countless things that do not belong to nature. A lot of rubbish was thrown into nature, and they were buried in the soil. However, it does not belong to nature itself and cannot be decomposed, degraded and absorbed by soil. Such rubbish will not only make the soil breathless, but also do harm to nature. If it is accidentally eaten by innocent animals, it will also kill animals.

As the source of events, human beings themselves, we should do something from our lives to protect nature. Do not use non-degradable disposable plastic products, do not buy take-away food using disposable lunch boxes. We can prepare a cloth bag, which can be used in both supermarkets and shopping malls. It is not only environmentally friendly, but also economical.
