III. Conclusions 1. The prospects for the development of eco-friendly disposable lunch boxes Through the investigation of several environmental-friendly disposable lunch boxes, I have come to the following conclusions:
(1) There is a big problem in the production of eco-friendly lunch boxes. First, the production process of certain eco-friendly lunch boxes (such as cartons) needs to be improved. Although they produce no pollution, they pose a threat to the environment. Since it is dubbed the title of "environmental protection," it must be done: From production to sales, to use, to disposal, it must be pollution-free, otherwise it will not be truly "environmental protection." To do this, one has to start with improving the production process.
Followed by the production of raw materials. Any production must proceed from the actual conditions in the country. Nowadays there is a shortage of forest resources in China, so the production of cartons is bound to be limited; China is also a food-deficit country, so is it reasonable to use starch-made lunch boxes? Therefore, we must proceed from the actual situation to find out the best production plan. .
Finally, the cost issue, through investigation, we found that the price of environmentally-friendly snack boxes is usually 20%-30% more expensive than plastic lunch boxes, and some (such as cartons) are even 2-3 times more expensive, and the profits of manufacturers are extremely low. One of the important reasons is that the production cost is too high. Take a large fast-food restaurant as an example. If you use more than 10,000 disposable lunch boxes per day, if each lunch box increases by 0.03-0.05 yuan, they will increase the cost of disposable tableware by 15-20 million yuan per year. This is indeed a big spending. What is the reason for the high cost? In the final analysis, the promotion of the product is not in place. The market is very large, but the sales volume is very small. Naturally, the output will not be large. How can the cost be lowered? It would be better to do a good job of propaganda and expand sales as long as this vicious cycle continues. This involves another issue, that is, how the product is advertised. It is not enough to publish the production of eco-friendly lunch boxes as news. It is necessary to establish in the minds of people the environment-friendly lunch boxes and their good effect on healthy life. Such propaganda can only be put in place.
But I have to say that although the pursuit of economic benefits should not be at the expense of the environment and the protection of the environment is a minimum social responsibility for every company, there is no law or regulation to require our companies to accept this benefit to society. It is not conducive to the company's new products. Since environmentally friendly disposable tableware prices do not have an advantage, companies that are pursuing the greatest economic benefits will naturally not use such environmentally friendly new products. Their common language is that the government hasn't forced it. Why should we ask for trouble?
From this it can be seen that it is useless for manufacturers to sing "one-corner operas." Government laws or regulations are the "catalysts" for the healthy development of the market.
(2) The environmental protection type disposable tableware has a broad market. In China alone, the consumption of disposable tableware is as high as 10 billion per year. With the acceleration of people's life pace and changes in eating habits, disposable tableware will gradually enter into thousands of thousands of thousands. Households, demand will grow rapidly? At present, the annual growth rate of various disposable tableware is 6%. Based on this growth rate, the total annual demand for disposable tableware and water equipment in China will be 70 to 90 billion after 10 years. Taking into account the population increase factor, this figure will be written as 100 billion or even more. It is not hard to imagine how broad the market for environmentally friendly disposable tableware is.
Not only that, in the international market, it is difficult for all plastic packaging materials to enter the international market. Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Switzerland and other developed countries have explicitly banned or restricted the use of disposable plastic tableware. In Southeast Asia, only Japan needs 30 million fast food boxes per day. The United States consumes 10 billion carton sandwiches for lunch. If domestic manufacturers can seize the opportunity and use their own technology (rather than the so-called "resource-rich, vast land and resources") advantage, then it will sooner or later take the international market.
2. How to solve "white pollution"
Through this semester of research, we have a certain understanding of white pollution, so we boldly propose several governance methods:
(1) Determination of government regulations and law enforcement In this respect, the Guangzhou municipal government has brought us good heads.
The Guangzhou Municipal Government once stipulated that, starting from September 1, all disposable food containers such as lunch boxes, cups, bowls, etc., which are produced from styrofoam polyethylene, polyethylene, etc., as raw materials, cannot be produced in the Guangzhou administrative region. Sales and use. The production and sales of disposable tableware in the city were included in the environmental protection “green product†certification management. Hotels, hotels, food stalls and other catering establishments or individuals that use disposable tableware must use tableware that meets the requirements of environmental protection, and those who violate the regulations will be given warnings or penalties depending on the circumstances. A year later, foreigners discovered that Guangzhou City, where the old “white litter†was full of corners, was a new look. This is the effect of strengthening management. Today, Shanghai, Hangzhou and other cities have issued similar regulations.
It can be seen that the regulation of "white pollution" is very strong.
(2) Strengthening the development and promotion of environmentally-friendly fast food boxes Although more than 100 companies have invested in the development of environmentally-friendly fast food boxes in China, there are few products meeting the standards, and the woods are unable to meet the huge market demands. Is the quality, type, and appearance of the product able to meet the needs of all walks of life? Has the product's sales network been improved? These are issues that urgently need improvement.
(3) The environmental protection awareness of citizens is a long-term and extremely important program. We can only say that the awareness of environmental protection must infiltrate all aspects of society, education in general (especially for young people) and publicity go with.
(4) Using technology to process one-time foaming snack box “a 20-cm-long ruler with the words 100% reproducible products. The EPA’s comrades told the reporter that this is a guarantee for Beijing Green Green Recycling Co., Ltd. The one-time lunch box was recycled and recycled, and the round green pen holder next to it was recycled and regenerated from 20 disposable plastic lunch boxes, and it was even more unthinkable that gasoline could be produced from waste plastics and 1 ton of waste was used. About 0.7 tons of gasoline can be produced from recycled plastics, and the price of waste plastic is about three to four hundred yuan per ton, while the price of gasoline is about 2,000 yuan per ton, and recycling is entirely profitable. This is not a piece of paper, Beijing. A refinery has been successfully put into practice."
After reading the above news, how do you feel?
Indeed, nowadays disposable plastic lunch boxes are like "rats crossing the street," but it is undeniable that the market is still using it more, "how to recycle it." This problem has been thought by countless people, but it seems that it cannot be solved.
Well now, science and technology, this human gospel has solved a difficult problem for us. The question now is how to make good use of this high technology and establish a large-scale processing base from recycling to processing and reuse. This will certainly take some time. However, as people’s awareness of environmental protection gradually increases, its birth will surely be a Revolutionary innovation.
(5) What should our young people do:
1. In the absence of effective implementation of the existing ban, try not to use disposable tableware or use it as little as possible; when shopping in the supermarket, you can bring your own shopping bag.
2. Do not throw white garbage, improve the use of plastic products, and do your best to allow others to use less disposable plastic products.
Finally, we hope that more people of insight will embark on the long journey of eradicating "white pollution" and draw together a clean and beautiful new world.
