Can consumers accept the large-scale disappearance of disposable plastic bags, plastic straws and other plastic products?

There are more alternatives that are acceptable. When something disappears, substitutes will appear accordingly. So for consumers, even if there are no disposable plastic bags and plastic straws, everyone will try to find something else to replace these plastic products.

Advantages of using renewable materials, such as paper bags, straws and paper cups made of renewable materials such as straw. On the one hand, the raw materials produced by these things are renewable and useless straws. In the past, farmers burned straw. Although it can add some nutrients to the soil, this nutrient can only be replaced by a small amount of chemical fertilizer. The gas and smoke produced after incineration are easy to pollute the air. That's what experts say, so waste can be used.

On the other hand, these used paper bags, paper cups and straws can be recycled. In addition, after replacing plastic products with these renewable materials, environmental protection can also be effectively realized, so it is a three-pronged approach.

Disadvantages of using renewable materials However, nothing can only bring us the good side, it will always have the bad side. Banning the use of plastic products will definitely bring trouble to our lives. Because not everything is suitable for paper bags, places like Qingdao often pack beer in plastic bags, and after plastic bags are banned, I am afraid bottled beer will sell better than bulk beer in the future.

In addition, paper products are often more expensive than plastic products, and their portability will be much worse. Because plastic products are very thin, it is very convenient to carry. In addition, paper products are not as strong as plastic products, so paper bags with the same volume will definitely be much worse than plastic bags, which will definitely cause a little trouble to our lives.

To sum up, these troubles can be overcome. In order to protect the environment, everyone must make a little sacrifice, and the inconvenient sacrifice in this small life is really small. After all, this small contribution is negligible for our future generations to live well on the earth.
