Question 2: According to public data, the daily order volume of the three major domestic take-out platforms is about 20 million, and 1 order has at least 1 plastic bag. According to the estimate of 0.06 square meters per bag, the plastic bags consumed every day can cover (? ) football field-a.16.8, B. 168, C. 1680.
According to the Notice on Restricting the Production, Sale and Use of Plastic Shopping Bags, the production, sale and use of plastic bags with a thickness of less than 0.025mm are prohibited nationwide from June 1 day, 2008, and all supermarkets, shopping malls, bazaars and other retail places implement the system of paid use of plastic bags.
10 years later, what is the implementation effect of the "plastic restriction order"? With the rise of the Internet, the field of take-away express delivery has become a big user of plastic bags. What is the actual situation? 10 years ago, it emphasized offline retail places. Is the plastic limit order smooth? The reporter launched an investigation.
Large supermarkets: the consumption is obviously reduced, and the substitutes are increased.
Do you need a plastic bag? At Dongge Store of CR Vanguard Supermarket in Nanning, Guangxi, when customers check out, the cashier always asks. "No need." As he spoke, an old man took out a folded cloth bag.
On the afternoon of a working day, most supermarket shoppers are elderly people. The reporter observed nearly 10 minutes, and more than 20 customers paid to leave, and only 2 bought plastic bags. There are three kinds of plastic bags at the checkout counter, weighing 6 kg, 8 kg, 10 kg. The prices are 0.2 yuan, 0.3 yuan and 0.4 yuan respectively, and the packaging bags are printed with implementation standards, specifications, environmental protection tips and production units. Zhang, deputy general manager of supermarket customer service, said that the daily passenger flow is about 5,000, and plastic bags 1000 are sold.
Plastic restrictions are well enforced in supermarkets and pharmacies. The relevant person in charge of the Market Regulation Management Section of Nanning Industrial and Commercial Department said that the sales of plastic bags in supermarkets and shopping malls in the city dropped significantly, and the use of paid plastic bags decreased by nearly 70% compared with that before the plastic limit order.
In the Eurasian Spring City Supermarket in Changchun, Jilin Province, in addition to degradable plastic bags, various kinds of cloth bags, cartons, paper bags and woven baskets are also provided. Li jianxin, deputy general manager, introduced that 78,000 cloth bags and more than 444,000 degradable plastic bags were sold in 20 16. In 20 17, more than 654.38+million cloth bags and about 405,000 degradable plastic bags were sold. The sales of plastic bags decreased by nearly 40,000, and consumers chose more durable cloth bags.
According to the relevant person in charge of the Development and Reform Commission of Jilin Province, the production, sale and supply of disposable non-degradable plastic shopping bags and plastic tableware have been banned since 20 15, and Jilin is the first country in China to completely ban plastics. Nowadays, the replacement rate of large-scale commercial ultra-degradable plastic products in the province is 90%, and the main market supply channels have been formed.
According to the data of the National Development and Reform Commission, from the plastic limit to 20 16, the use of plastic bags in supermarkets nationwide has generally decreased by more than 2/3, and the cumulative reduction of plastic shopping bags is about10.4 million tons, which is equivalent to reducing carbon dioxide emissions by nearly 30 million tons.
Vendors: Ultra-thin plastic bags are mostly provided free of charge, but it is difficult to ban them.
The plastic limit order requires that retail places must clearly price plastic bags, and may not provide them free of charge or incorporate the price of plastic bags into the total price of goods. But in some places, the reality is not optimistic.
"Every night, people come to sell plastic bags. I usually buy 5 bundles of this thin one, each bundle is 1 RMB ***30, and almost all of them are used up the next day. After the plastic limit order, thick bags are more expensive. We have to spend more money, but we won't charge customers for plastic bags. " The stall owner of a farmer's market in Nanning said.
The reporter saw that all vendors have plastic bags, and the ultra-thin ones account for the majority. When customers buy vegetables, the stall owner will take the initiative to bag them. Some customers weigh their bags. They thought the package was thin and asked the stall owner to set another one. Some people who come by bike will ask for one or two more bags in order to hang them firmly on the handlebars.
In an alley two blocks away from the market, several vendors are setting up stalls. A fruit vendor showed three kinds of plastic bags. "This can hold 10 kg, and this can hold 8 kg, all of which are 3 bundles of 9 yuan and 6 bundles of this thin 9 yuan." There is no sign on the thin plastic bag.
Ms. Li, who just bought vegetables, said with a bag: "Some vegetables are stained with soil, and some are carrying water. They are taken home in plastic bags and thrown away directly. No pain. If you use a cloth bag, you have to tidy it up, which is inconvenient. Plastic bags will be provided by vegetable vendors. "
The person in charge of the Market Regulation Management Section of Nanning Industrial and Commercial Department said that the implementation of the plastic restriction order in the bazaar was not good, especially the problem that individual operators in the vegetable market provided ultra-thin plastic bags free of charge was still widespread. Some individual merchants admit that this is a helpless move. "If the charges are raised, customers will turn their heads and leave, and business will be impossible."
Zhang Qingwen, director of the Marketing Department of Changchun Industrial and Commercial Department, also said that in some small markets, supermarkets and grocery stores, due to the cost and quality of plastic products, the implementation of the plastic ban was discounted.
Three years ago, when Jilin banned plastics, the reporter visited the small commodity wholesale market in Guangfu Road, Changchun. At that time, the dealers of non-degradable plastic bags faced operational pressure. Recently, the reporter came to the market, only to find that traditional plastic bags are still everywhere. There is a plastic ban leaflet in front of the store, but there are all kinds of plastic bags in the store. There are big signs of "plastic bags" and "garbage bags" hanging in front of a small shop. There are several rows of black, red, blue and white plastic bags below. There are many kinds of plastic bags in the store, basically traditional PE plastic bags, and some have no logo. Upon inquiry, 50 medium-sized plastic bags were sold in 4 yuan, and the cheapest small bag, 0.5 yuan 65438+70, was sold to small businesses in Changchun.
"The intensity of plastic ban is increasing, and the difficulty of plastic ban still exists." Zhang Qingwen said.
Take-away Express: The new format brings new pressure and supervision is strengthening.
Going back to the first two questions, the first answer is C, and the second answer is B. With the development of new formats such as e-commerce, express delivery and take-away, the consumption of plastic lunch boxes and plastic packaging has risen rapidly, which has caused new pressure on resources and environment.
For example, plastic lunch boxes and plastic bags are widely used. At the gate of a residential area in Nanning, the delivery man who just delivered a takeaway said, "There are many takeaway merchants in this residential area I am responsible for, most of them are packed in plastic bags, and only three are packed in paper." On the first floor of a large shopping mall, the clerk of a chicken chops chain store said, "We sell fried food, we deliver it in plastic bags and take it away with customers, with an average of 100 yuan per day."
A citizen who just received a takeaway said: "This kind of kebabs and sausages that can be packaged together will be put together in plastic bags; Rice, noodles, flour and the like will be packed in plastic lunch boxes; Finally, a big bag will be used to put the small bags together, which is convenient to carry; Drinks and soup will be in another bag. "
"After eating takeaway, garbage such as lunch boxes will generally be thrown together in a bag for takeaway, and will not be reused because of the taste and oil pollution of the food." The citizen said that although the received plastic bags and lunch boxes are of good quality, the merchants will also charge for the lunch boxes, but after eating the take-away, they will not be recycled, but will be directly discarded.
In response to these new problems, the relevant person in charge of the Jilin Provincial Development and Reform Commission said that the main body of regulatory responsibility for emerging consumer industries such as food and beverage takeout and postal express delivery is not clear, and there are blind spots and weak links in supervision. In this regard, the Provisional Regulations on Express Delivery, which came into effect on May 1 this year, clearly stated that express delivery enterprises should be encouraged to use environmentally-friendly packaging materials and recycle express delivery packaging materials. Domestic express delivery companies have also taken action to promote "green logistics" with practical measures.
A few days ago, the relevant person in charge of the National Development and Reform Commission said that the National Development and Reform Commission is prepared to study and adjust the plastic restriction order with relevant departments, study and formulate relevant implementation plans, and take the lead in restricting the use of a series of non-degradable plastic packaging in industries such as e-commerce, express delivery and take-away.
At the local level, related attempts have also begun. A fitness restaurant in downtown Nanning uses paper bags for takeout. The owner said, "We used to use plastic bags, but after switching to paper bags, customers think our products look more environmentally friendly."
